-
- Because Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain for Windows 95 is still under development,
- this preview version may not work properly on the Matrox Millenium graphics
- adapter. This deficiency will be corrected in the release version of Kain.
-
- If you experience problems running Legacy of Kain, try turning off the
- ENABLE 3D ACCELERATION option in the DirectX setup program. To disable
- 3D Acceleration, double click on the DXSETUP icon located in the \DirectX\
- directory, and then uncheck the option for 3D acceleration in the middle of

- Multiple resolutions are not enabled. Kain will only play at 320x240x16
- bit color in this version of the game. The full version of Kain will also
- support 640x480 resolution.
-
- Kain cannot change to any other form in this demo. Why? Because Kain has not
