*A. Installing the RLPWRVR.DLL*
*******************************
To install the RLPWRVR.DLL and use the PowerVR support, unzip the
RLPWRVR.DLL into the root of your Die By The Sword directory. The default directory
for Die By The Sword is C:\Program Files\Tantrum\Die by the Sword. (To check that
you're unzipping it into the correct place, make sure that the file RLAPI.DLL
is in the target directory.)
PowerVR should then appear as a 3D card option in the 3D Card Selection
screen when you launch DBTS provided you have a PowerVR based 3D accelerator
in your machine (e.g. Matrox m3D.)
*******************
*B. Known Problems*
*******************
On the "All" Detail setting, you may see places in the game where textures
disappear. This may occur because of the way in which PowerVR sorts textures
with transparancy. This shouldn't hinder your progress in the game.
If this problem occurs for you, playing the game in the "Normal" Detail setting
should reduce the problem from occuring.
The PowerVR support is far better than the software render option, and
rather than hold up PowerVR users from enjoying/playing DBTS in hi-res at
an adequate speed, we choose to release the support now in beta format.
