EARTHSIEGE 2 DEMO
_____________________________________________________________
I. System Requirements.
EARTHSIGE II requires Windows 95 and Direct Draw (DirectX)
to run.
This demo is optimized for performance on a Pentium based
machine with at least 16 megabytes of RAM. The minimum
supported machine is a 486/66MHz with Localbus, SVGA, mouse,
and eight megabytes of RAM.
If you are running this demo on a non-pentium machine, you
may find better results if you run in 320X200 resolution.
See the section on "Launching the Demo" for further
information.
_____________________________________________________________
II. Installation
For this demo to work you MUST first decompress the files.
Copy the ES2DEMO.EXE program to an empty directory on
your hard disk and type
ES2DEMO -d
in a DOS box and press the Enter key.
Make sure to include the -d switch!
_____________________________________________________________
III. Notes about Direct Draw
If your machine does not have the Direct Draw (DirectX) drivers
installed, you will need to download them seperately. The
EARTHSIEGE 2 demo will not run without DirectX installed.
The demo will launch in a window by default. You can click
on the maximize button inside the upper right hand corner of
the game window to switch to full screen mode. Not all video
cards support direct draw's full screen mode. If you experience
problems in full screen mode, press the "Alt" and "Enter" keys
at the same time to switch back to windowed mode.
_____________________________________________________________
IV. Launching the demo
To run the demo, either type "ES" in a DOS box, or double-
click on the ES icon in Explorer.
You can run at 320X200 resolution by adding a " -v0"
(space, minus sign, lowercase 'v' and numerical zero) after
"ES" in a DOS box. Your command line would look like
this: ES -v0
