Issues fixed

The Transistor Technical Support FAQ includes fixes for a few issues with the game.
Many crashes can be fixed by updating your display drivers, make sure to do so if other solutions don't work.
On Linux issue with FMOD Studio may also lead to crashes on startup if it selects wrong audio interface. See OS X/Linux audio missing
