V. Troubleshooting
================================================================
-Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements
listed. Installing the WarpathÖ Demo on a computer that does
not meet the minimum system requirements can lead to unpredictable
results.
-Before installing the game, make sure all running programs,
especially anti-virus software, are closed. Many installation
problems are avoided this way.
-If you are running Windows XP or Windows 2000, you must install the
WarpathÖ Demo via a user account with administrator or power user privileges.
If you do not have administrator or power user privileges, please contact your
system administrator for further details.
-If you are running a firewall or a router, you may experience
difficulties attempting to play the WarpathÖ Demo on a LAN or the Internet.
You must configure your firewall/router to allow the WarpathÖ demo to access
ports 7897 through 7898 for game sessions and port 29808 for the
master matchmaking server. Ensure that TCP and UDP are enabled for
all of these ports. If you do not know how to do this, contact your
system administrator or firewall/router vendor for further information.
-If your machine is running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
installed and Internet Connection Firewall enabled, you may
experience difficulties attempting to play the WarpathÖ demo on a LAN
or the Internet. To correct this, you should either install
Service Pack 2 (SP2) or disable the Internet Connection Firewall
from your network settings. Follow these steps to disable the
Internet Connection Firewall:
1. Click the Start Menu.
2. Select Control Panel or if you are running windows in classic mode
select Settings
3. Select Internet and Network connections and then Network Connections.
Or if you are running windows in classic mode select network connections.
4. Right click on your Local Area Connection icon and select
Properties.
5. Click on the ôAdvancedö tab.
6. Make sure there is no checkmark in the box next to ôProtect
my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the Internetö.
-If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you may
experience issues attempting to play WarpathÖ over the Internet due to the
SP2 firewall. To correct this, follow these steps:
1. Launch WarpathÖ.
2. From the main menu, click Join Multiplayer Game.
3. When the server browser comes up, press ALT and TAB at the
same time. This will return you to your Windows desktop.
4. A window entitled ôWindows Security Alertö should be present.
Click Unblock to allow WarpathÖ to access Internet game servers.
5. Click WarpathÖ in the
Windows taskbar. This will return you to the game.
6. Quit WarpathÖ by
selecting Exit Game from the main menu.
7. Re-launch WarpathÖ - you
should now be able to connect to Internet games.
-Some video cards, often included with laptops, have a rotation
feature that can cause the game to display sideways. Going into
your display properties and disabling the rotation feature
should solve this issue. Contact your video card manufacturer
for further support regarding the rotation feature.
-You may need to obtain the latest DirectX 9.0 compliant drivers
from your hardware manufacturerÆs website. Many technical
problems can be resolved by simply updating your video and
sound card drivers.
-Depending on your system configuration, game play performance
may be altered by changing graphical options in the Settings,
Video Settings menu. Lowering the Resolution and Video Mode will
allow the game to run faster, while increasing them may cause
the game to run slower but look better. If game play performance
is still poor, you can also turn down the Detail Level and
Shadows on this screen. Remember to click Apply Video Changes
after making changes to these options. Adjusting one (or all)
of these graphical options can dramatically increase game play
speed.
-For optimal game play performance we recommend closing all
other programs or applications before playing WarpathÖ.

IX. TIPS AND TRICKS
================================================================
- Don't forget to apply CAM pickups to your weapons including your EMAD. You
can do this by holding down the X key and clicking on the weapons
you want to upgrade - that's if you have enough CAMS.
- In multiplayer, you get CAMS by killing other players or bots.
- Don't forget to dash, by pressing the F key, in the game; this
allows you to travel faster for short bursts.
- Don't forget about the Vibro blade it is a deadly weapon.
