			==Compiling (x32 Release)==
			# Download and install Visual Studio. A free version is available [https://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs here].
			# Download the following dependencies for the appropriate version of Visual Studio:
			#* [http://openxcom.org/download/dev/openxcom-deps-win-vc2010.zip 2010]

			#* [http://openxcom.org/download/dev/openxcom-deps-win-vc2017.zip 2017+]
			# Extract the archive's contents to '''<path-to-repo>\OpenXcom\'''
			#Navigate to '''<path-to-repo>\OpenXcom\src''' and open '''OpenXcom.2010.sln'''.
			#Compile the project by right clicking on '''OpenXcom''' and selecting '''Build'''. Upgrading the project may be needed on newer versions of Visual Studio.

			* Certain anti-viruses such as Avast may stop the project from building. Add the OpenXcom folder as an expection.
			* See the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd831853.aspx Visual Studio Documentation] for more information on the IDE.

			==Issues fixed==
			===Failed To Load Palette===
