- Techincal Issues:
-
- 1. Will Rock will only run on video cards with 32MB of RAM and
- Hardware Transform & Lighting support.
- (Most video cards released in the last 3 years with 32MB or higher
- support Hardware Transform & Lighting) Here is a list of cards that
- do NOT support Hardware Transform & Lighting will NOT work with Will Rock:
-
- 3DFX Voodoo series of cards
- Kyro
- Kyro II
- Nvidia TNT series
- ATI Rage series (and earlier cards)
- SiS Graphics Chips/Cards
- Intel Graphics Chips/Cards
- Matrox 450 and Matrox 550 (and earlier cards)
-
- Again, Will Rock is not compatible with any of the cards listed above.
-
- 2. If you cannot see a LAN game, please check the Internet Connection Firewall.
-
- Choose Start\Control Panel
- Right click on Lan Area Connection
- Select Advanced
- Uncheck Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) to turn it off.
- (Note: You may want to check this feature (ICF) back on for security reasons after play)
-
- If you cannot connect or host a game over the Internet, check to see if you
- have a firewall or router. You may have to open a port or DMZ channel to play
- Will Rock. Check your documentation that came with your firewall software or
- router.
-
- 3. If you are using a GeForce 2 or equivalent card, be sure to turn off FSAA,
- projected shadows, and detailed textures and run the game in 800x600 screen resolution.
-
- 4. Please note that if you are experienceing visual problems and/or
- extreme slowdowns when enabling advanced video features (e.g., full screen
- anti-aliasing), please update to the latest drivers. Some card and driver
- releases do NOT offer reliable support for advanced graphics features. It is likely
- that the card does NOT support certain advance features if you experience visual
- problems and/or extreme slowdowns. Please turn down/off the advanced graphic
- features to fix the visual problems or speed up game play.
-
-
- Tips on increasing performance:
-
- 1. Only the fastest machines (P4 1.4 GHz and Athlon 1700 XP+ and higher)
- with high end video cards (e.g., Geforce 4200 and Radeon 9000 series)
- should play with all graphics settings on high and all features on
- (e.g., Full Screen Anti-aliasing).
-
-
- 2. Update to the latest Microsoft certified drivers from your video card manufacturer.
-
- 3. Do not run any other applications in the background when playing the game.
-
- 4. Defragment your hard drive. (See Windows manual for instructions)
-
- 5. Increase the RAM in your machine. The game will take advantage of additional
- RAM above 128MB.
-
- 6. Always use the fastest machine to host a multiplayer game.
- The recommended minimum machine for hosting is a 1GHz machine.
-
-
- Hosting Internet games with a WinXP machine
-
- In order to host an Internet game on a machine that is running Windows XP,
- you must first disable the built-in firewall. To do this open the Start
- Menu, go to Settings and then to Control Panel, and double click on Network
- Connections. Double click on the connection type that you are using. When
- the window comes up, click on the Properties button and then click on the
- Advanced tab on the next window. There is a box under Internet Connection
- Firewall. Uncheck this button and re-boot your computer. Don't forget to
- re-check it when you're done playing and remember that none of the changes
- take place until you re-boot your system.
