Other than that, you won't be able to watch the opening video.
We also suggest you install the latest sound and video drivers to secure stable performance (final testing was conducted with the use of Detonator 30.82). To ensure maximum stability it is recommended you launch the game on the Windows 2000/XP rather than Windows 98/ME.
The game has a number of graphical settings that influence its performance speed. To obtain the maximum performance on your PC you need to adjust the game settings in the Settings menu, System and Game submenus. The manual contains a detail description of each setting. By default, the medium graphical settings are preset.
