What is the Game Manager?

The E-On Game Manager is an easy to use Windows program for configuring and refreshing your E-On games.

What does the Directory Setup button do?

What does the Game Preferences button do?

What does the Refresh button do?


What does the Directory Setup button do?

The directory setup button allows you to choose where you want the E-On Game Manager to install the download games to.  The default directory is C:\E-ON\GAMES and this should be fine for most installations of the games manager.


What does the Game Preferences button do?

Clicking Game Preferences allows you to setup all your game playing options for the E-On download games.


Sound Card/Music Card

The Sound and Music Card settings allow you to manually configure your sound card.  Where possible the E-On Games Manager will attempt to automatically detect your sound/music card and you shouldn’t need to change these settings unless you experience problems hearing sound effects or music when playing a game.


Input Devices

Clicking Input Devices allows you to configure your default input device for a game - if you prefer playing a game with keys then click keyboard etc. If you want to change the input device on a game then just reload the Games Manager and change the settings.


Graphics

The Graphics button allows you to change the screen resolution of the games you want to play as well as telling the computer whether you have a colour or a monochrome monitor.


What does the Refresh button do?

From this screen you can refresh your E-On games. To refresh you will need to be connected to the E-On site at www.e-on.com. You can also delete games from your harddrive from this menu.


Exit

I need more help!

If you need further assistance on the Game Manager or any part of the E-On service then call the E-On helpline on (0116) 224 0224 or e-mail E-On at support@e-on.com.


Screen Resolution

Some games support different screen resolutions. The higher the resolution, the more detailed graphics you will see on the screen. Standard (low) resolution is 320 pixels across by 200 pixels deep. Higher resolutions often require faster computers to run at a smooth rate. If you find a game is running slowly in a high resolution then change down to a lower resolution.


Refresh

Playing a download game from Entertainment OnLine is rather like renting a video - you can only play for a certain time (30 days from when you downloaded the game). To stop a game from timing out (which would mean you could no longer play it)  you will need to connect to the service once a month to update your games (or 'refresh' them). Don't worry - refreshing a game is a quick process - you don't need to download the whole game over again! Refreshing a game is free.


What is the E-On sign-in screen for?

The first time you run the Game Manager you will need to connect to the E-On site so that the system can register you for downloading the games.  Just type in your E-On username and password and click the connect button.
