INSTALLATION TIPS:
------------------
- Make sure you have sufficient free hard drive space for the installation.
Microsoft recommends that you have at least 23 Mb free hard drive space
to allow for the correct operation of Windows Virtual Memory.
- Restart the system before installing DHT2. It is always a good idea to
restart your system before installing any software. This can refresh the
system memory and eliminate unnecessary problems that may appear during
the installation.
- The game requires DirectX 6.1 (or later) to be installed - you will be
asked to install or upgrade DirectX during game installation. The latest
release of DirectX may be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/directx
COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
--------------------
DHT2 is designed to function with Windows 95/98 compatible graphics cards
and sound cards. The drivers for these various devices are provided by
Windows itself, or the respective manufacturers, and may occasionally
contain bugs or otherwise cause incompatibilities beyond our control.
If you experience any problems, it is always recommended that you obtain
up-to-date drivers, which will often remedy the problem. Almost every
vendor makes their drivers available on their web site. If you are unsure
of a web site URL for a particular hardware vendor, you can try accessing
one of the popular Windows software update sites such as:
http://www.windrivers.com
GRAPHICS:
- DHT2 detects multiple graphics cards and the resolution settings they are
capable of displaying. Although the user can select the highest resolution
setting possible, the game may not be able to run due to memory limitations
on the graphics card. To fix this, simply select the next resolution down
until you find one which will work. Screen resolutions below 512 x 384
are not recommended.
- 3Dfx Glide mode requires Glide 3.0 or later to be installed. You may have
to download new drivers from http://www.3dfx.com if you have 3Dfx hardware
and Glide is not available in the Configuration menu.
- If you have a 3Dfx graphics card, it is strongly recommended that you play
the game in Glide Mode for optimal game performance.
- If you have a version of DirectX later than 6.1 installed on your PC,
ensure that the drivers are certified by the graphics card manufacturer
as compatible with the installed version of DirectX.
- Users of ATI graphics cards (including the Rage Pro) may experience
blockiness of some textures. At the time of release, ATI suggests using an
earlier version of their drivers, available at their website:
http://www.atitech.com
- Users of graphics cards with the S3 Savage chipset may experience screen
corruption during loading of levels, although this does not appear to have
a detrimental effect on the game. Future releases of drivers may resolve
this issue. Check http://www.s3.com for updates.
- At the time of release, major compatibility problems were noted with the
Hercules Stingray and Hercules Terminator Beast graphics cards. At this
time, Hercules does not have drivers available on its web site. However
you may wish to visit http://www.hercules.com to check for updates.
- If you experience any graphical problems, please ensure that you have the
latest available drivers for your 3D graphics card. These can be found at
the card manufacturer's web site. The most common sites are:
ATI (Rage) http://www.atitech.com
Matrox (G200, G400) http://www.matrox.com
Nvidia (Riva, GeForce) http://www.nvidia.com
S3 (Savage) http://www.s3.com
3Dfx (Voodoo) http://www.3dfx.com
Creative Labs http://www.creative.com
Diamond Multimedia (Viper) http://www.diamondmm.com
STB http://www.stb.com/products
Guillemot http://www.guillemot.com
- Within the Graphics/Options in the Configuration menu is a setting for
"Z Bias Compatibility Mode". This mode works around a problem which some
video cards, such as the Nvidia GeForce, have with DHT2's method of
displaying 2D text. Check this option if menu text or HUD overlays are
not visible.
- DHT2 takes place at night. Some areas are quite dark - if you are having
trouble seeing things generally, you may find a Gamma Correction slider
included in your graphics card's display software. Please refer to the
graphics card manual for further instructions.
AUDIO:
- Aureal A3D 2.0 requires compatible Aureal audio hardware and will
automatically be detected. The latest Aureal drivers can be found at
http://www.aureal.com
- Creative Labs Environmental Audio (EAX) requires compatible Creative Labs
audio hardware, and will automatically be detected. The latest drivers
can be found at http://www.creative.com
- Dolby Surround requires a compatible Dolby Surround Sound decoder and
speakers to be connected to your computer.
CONTROLLERS:
- DHT2 supports a wide variety of DirectInput compatible game pads,
joysticks and wheels. The latest DirectInput drivers can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware
For non-Microsoft DirectInput compatible gaming devices, please refer to
the controller manufacturer's web site.
- DHT2 supports the Act Labs Lightgun System in the Sharpshooting levels.
The latest drivers can be found at http://www.actlab.com
ADVISORIES:
-----------
- In the Configuration Menu the Options button brings up the Advanced Video
Options sub-menu. Changing the Check Box items may have a detrimental
effect on the performance of the game, and should only be changed from
the default settings if you are attempting to resolve a graphics related
problem.
- If you have a force feedback controller connected to your PC which does
not have a "dead man's trigger" that senses whether the controller is
being gripped or not, its force feedback effects may be activated by DHT2
even if the controller is not currently in use (e.g. if you are playing
in the 3rd Person Action/Adventure mode but you have a force feedback
wheel connected).
- When pressing ALT+TAB and/or the Windows Key on keyboards, DHT2 will
minimize or switch tasks. Problems may occur when minimizing games so
this is NOT recommended.
