V. TROUBLESHOOTING:

1)	Day-and-night lighting does not work
If you don’t see the day and night cycles in the game (it doesn’t grow dark at night), you may have an older video card which does not support Direct-3D lights. The game is still playable - just use the location and time tooltip (see the manual) to know what time it is.

2)	Transparency problems
If the objects in the game do not fade in and out, and only a black background is displayed when the Options screen comes up, you may have an older video card that does not 3D acceleration. You can still play the game, but veeery slowly. We suggest an upgrade.

3)	Sound does not work or you get crackling sounds
As long as your sound card (if present) is compatible with DirectX 9, it should work.  If it doesn’t, we do not know what the problem is. Please email technical support.

4)	Horizontal refresh lines
If some line distortions appear in the middle of the screen, try this: If your game is in Windowed Mode, set it to Full screen. Set the Display Method from Page Flip to Page Copy. This, however, might decrease game speed.

5)	Other graphical glitches
Updating your video driver to the latest version will usually resolve this problem.

6)	Input is not responding
Frequently pressing ALT-TAB may cause the keyboard and mouse not to respond. To resolve this problem, simply press ALT-TAB twice.

7)	It displays the error: “Please insert the Game Disc at drive [D:]”
The game is looking for files not present on the hard drive. The missing files should be contained in the Game Disc which must be inserted in the drive you used to install the game. If not, the files on your drive may be corrupted, and you may need to reinstall. If you transferred drive letters, and the CD is located at a different drive than indicated above, open the ‘config.ini’ file under the save directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Anito\save), and change ‘Cddrive = “X:/”’.

8)	It displays the error: “No Valid CD found”.
The original Game Disc that came with the game must be inserted at the CD-Drive when playing the game, even with a full install. The game will not accept copies of the CD-Rom.

9)	Game skipping
Your video settings may be too high for your system. Try this (in this order): Set the Texture Mode then Display Mode to 16-bit. Zoom In on the character. Lower the Display Resolution, turn off shadows, then as a last resort (if the game is still slow), set the Texture Quality to Low.

10)	Character is too large at lower resolutions
	Press Num[-]  to zoom out.
	
11)	I want to play in windowed mode
Press ALT-ENTER. However, the resolution of the game must be lower than your desktop resolution.

12)	After changing resolutions, there is no display, but the sound works
Some LCD monitors refuse to accept certain resolutions (such as 1280 by 960). Open the ‘config.ini’ file under the save directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Anito\save), and set the ‘DisplayResolution= 1’ (its default value)

13)	The game crashe.
	If all else fails, try reinstalling the game.
