What is a README file?
Before installing software or game on your computer, it is good to follow instructions. By doing so, you minimize the chances of encountering hitches when using the installed program. Through a Readme file, you can get all the instructions on how to do so plus other informative material you may need regarding the program. The additional details include the latest updates, directory paths as well as the installation logos. For games, you may find updated information that may have been left out or wrongly written in the manual. You can open and make a few adjustments using compatible software. Kindly note that a readme text file is not the main manual. You may miss some vital information about the installed software. For that reason, always read both the manual and readme for full details. Also, avoid renaming files with a .readme extension as it does not alter the file type.
