- 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.
