the Startup and Target properties of your "Shiv2Dmo" icon. Here's how:
1. Right-click on the "Shiv2Dmo" icon
2. Select properties from the bottom of the resulting menu
3. Select the Shortcut tab at the top
4. In the Target area, change the drive letter in two places:
a. Once for the "rshivers.exe" path
b. Also for the "resource.win" path
5. In the Start in area, change the drive letter for the path
6. Select OK
How to Play:
The Shivers demo contains 360 degree panoramas in which you can use your mouse or arrow
keys to look around. You can get close-ups by clicking on certain objects. To quit, press the
Esc key.
Options:
There are several options in this demo that you can toggle on and off.
1. Press the F2 key to change the resolution of the screen. You can press it four times for a total
of four different resolutions.
2. Press the F3 key to turn the caption option on. Press it again to turn it off.
3. Press the F4 key to turn the "hot" cursor off. The "hot" cursor indicates what you can click on.
Press it again to turn it on.
4. Press the F5 key to reduce the movie screen. Press it again to return to the original size.
Performance Tuning
If the game is not quite running smoothly, there are several ways you can improve your performance
on your system. The first two deal with the "Options" listed above, the third fine tunes your audio by
eliminating stuttering sounds.
PANORAMA
1) If, while looking around in a panoramic scene, you are experiencing slow refresh rates, you can
use the F2 key to toggle to a smaller resolution. Once at the smallest resolution, pressing F2 will
return the screen to the largest resolution.
MOVIE
2) If you are experiencing poor performance while viewing the movie clip, you may use the F5 key
to toggle to a half-screen sized movie. This should vastly improve your viewing capabilities.
SOUNDS
3) If you are experiencing stuttering sounds throughout the game, you should return to the main title
screen and click in the upper left hand corner. This will display a dialog box that will ask you to click
Yes or No regarding the quality of sounds that you are hearing. Upon closing of the dialog box, you
are required to shut down the game and restart it. Continue this exercise until you do not hear
stuttering sounds.
Note: You should only do this if you are experiencing stuttering or skipping sounds, as side
effects (such as latency sounds) may occur.
