While DreamFactory has been tested on many configurations, there are several known problems with this version, and probably a few unknown ones as well. Cyberflix makes no warrenty as to the fitness of the alpha or its ability to run on your computer. That said, here's the list of known problems in this version: - Titanic currently requires about 8000K free memory in Windows, which means it probably won't run on a machine with 8MB of RAM. Memory requirements are being tightened up, and the release version will definitly run on an 8MB machine - The loader program (the one with the four buttons) has problems on some Windows 3.1 machines. If the loader causes a General Protection Fault, you can bypass it. Run \INSTALL\16BIT\_SETUP.EXE on the CD to install, or run the program TI.EXE in the folder on your hard drive to play. - The uninstaller program will not remove any saved games in the Titanic directory, and will complain that there were files "not created by Titanic" in the folder. If this happens, just delete the folder by hand. - If you have a joystick, be sure it's calibrated before you run Titanic, or you might end up spinning in circles. You can disable joystick support from the options menu in the loader. ---- TECHNICAL SUPPORT ---------------------------------------- Cyberflix provides technical support via telephone, fax, America Online, and the Internet.
