- Helpful Hints
- -------------
-
- Save OFTEN. You never know what dangers lurk around the next corner.
- The F6 key is the Quick Save key and the F9 key is the Quick load key.
-
- Use the monitor calibration from the graphics options menu to adjust
- your brightness/contrast of your display to the optimal settings.
-
- With your monitor calibrated, play in total darkness if possible. If
- you play with the lights on, you may loose some of the important
- details of your surroundings.
-
- Use F11 and F12 to adjust gamma if the game is too bright or too dark.
-
- When changing controls, go to the top of the control configuration
- menu, and select "Restore Defaults" to change to the default settings.
-
- To learn the controls during gameplay, press F1 to display the control
- mappings.
-
- Keep health items such as food ready by preselecting them with the [
- and ] keys. To restore your health, press ENTER. This will raise the
- window to verify that you mean to use the item. Press ENTER again to
- use the item. You may also enable "Auto Use Health" from the control
- options menu (default is ON).
-
- Sometimes you just need to run like hell away from monsters. This isn't
- your typical action game. There are times where you will be low on
- ammo - it is better to run and live than fight and die.
-
- To make Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock more challenging, turn off
- "Auto Aim" mode from the controls menu.
-
- Hardware acceleration is turned off by default. If your video card
- supports hardware acceleration, try turning it on.
-
- Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card. If your
- drivers are more than 3 months old, they are most likely out of date.
-
- Back away from enemies while attacking (even when using melee weapons).
- Most enemies only have close range attacks so if you keep some
- distance, Lazarus will have the advantage.

- Known Issues
- ==========
-
- If you experience audio dropout while playing Blair Witch 2, make sure
- you have the latest sound drivers, or go to the Sound Options menu and
- set Device: WavOutWrite: YOUR WAVE DEVICE (the name of your sound card
- should be listed here). This should solve the drop out problem.
-
- When talking to characters in Blair Witch 2, sometimes it is necessary
- to press and hold the mouse button to get a response.
-
- If your sound or video card drivers are older than 2 months old, they
- are most likely outdated. Please download the latest drivers for your
- video and sound cards. If you do not know of a source for these
- drivers, visit http://www.nocturnegame.com/nocsupport/

- Troubleshooting
- ---------------
-
- Q: I have a video card with only 1MB of memory on it. I meet the system
- requirements otherwise. Can I play Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin
- Rock??
- A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock requires a video card with at
- least 2MB of memory on it. Sorry, you will need to upgrade your video
- card.
-
- Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock seems really choppy and slow. I
- have a fairly low system and I was hoping to play...
- A: In the Graphics Options Menu try turning your screen resolution
- down. The default is 640 X 480, but you will get faster frame rates at
- lower resolutions. Unfortunately, some video cards can have trouble
- with lower resolutions. If this happens to you, try varying your
- resolutions in the game to see which resolution gives you the best
- performance.
-
- Q. I have a Voodoo4/Voodoo5, and when I run in 32 bit color, the frame
- rate is very slow. When I set it to 16 bit color, the frame rate is
- back to normal. What gives?
- A. We believe that this is a bug in the new Voodoo4/Voodoo5 drivers.
- Because we are unsure, we are working with 3Dfx to try to address the
- problem. If the problem is due to something in their drivers, you
- should give 32 bit color a try after each driver update from 3Dfx. If
- the problem is in our renderer, we will attempt to correct this issue
- in a patch.
-
- Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock displays an error message after
- loading/starting a mission.
- A: Turn off 3D acceleration from the Graphics Options Menu. Some cards
- can not properly support 3D hardware acceleration.
-
- Q: My card supports 3D acceleration. I am sure of it. I want a faster
- frame rate!
- A: Turn on 3D acceleration from the Graphics Options Menu. If the
- program crashes as you load a mission, see the Q & A above.
-
- Q: I have a 3Dfx based card. Will Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock
- use this card?
- A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Rustin Parr supports Voodoo2, Voodoo
- Banshee, Voodoo3, and Voodoo5.
-
- Q: Does Blair Witch Volume Two - Rustin Parr run on Voodoo2, Voodoo
- Banshee or Voodoo3?
- A: We do not recommend using Voodoo1 or Voodoo2 because they are not
- AGP cards. Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock will run on them, it
- just won't be as fast as on AGP cards. In reference to Voodoo3, Blair
- Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr can run in 16bpp 640 X 480 mode. In
- reference to Voodoo5, Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr can run at
- higher resolutions in 32 bit color.
-
- Q: I have a Voodoo3 - Can resolutions greater than 640x480 be used?
- A: Voodoo3 cards do not support the large textures used in Blair Witch
- Volume One - Coffin Rock. If we can find a workaround to this that
- doesn't make the game look even more blurry (than it does now on a
- Voodoo3), we'll fix it.
-
- Q: Can Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock run in software rendering?
- A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock runs very well with software
- rendering - better than it does with hardware acceleration in 16 bit
- color under most instances. Select 32-Bit Mode from the Graphics
- Options Menu. If your computer's clock speed is less than 500MHz, you
- may wish to run Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr in 512x384 or
- 320x240 mode. Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr automatically
- detects the optimal screen resolution for your computer. Screen
- resolution may be changed from the Graphics Options menu.
-
- Q: Lazarus is all white, without any textures on him. Sometimes other
- characters turn all white. What the heck?!?
- A: Most likely you have a card based on a Rage chipset, which has
- problems with DirectX 6 and beyond causing this kind of illusion.
-
- Q: The game runs but all I see are shadows. What gives?
- A: You probably have a TnT or TnT2 based card. Download the latest
- reference video drivers from NVidia's web site.
-
- Q: I want to run higher resolutions than 640x480.
- A: You need 16MB on your video card. 32-bit color requires plenty of
- video memory and cards with less than 16MB of video memory can not
- handle this. Also, some cards that do have 16MB+ of video memory can
- not handle Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock in higher resolutions.
-
- Q: 1280x1024 mode runs slow.
- A: This mode only runs fast enough on Matrox G400, ATI Rage 128, and
- GeForce video cards.
-
- Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock exits to the desktop when I run
- it in 512x384 mode.
- A: Don't run 512x384 mode. Some older video cards don't properly
- support this mode.
-
- Q: The game says that I have less than 200MB of Virtual Memory free.
- How do I fix this so that Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock runs
- best?
- A: Select Control Panel, then System, then Performance, then Virtual
- Memory. It is best to change this setting so that Windows manages
- virtual memory.
-
- Q: Game gives an error message saying that you're out of memory.
- A: You need more virtual memory. See previous Q&A for how to change
- your virtual memory settings.
-
- Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock levels do not load as quickly
- as I would like.
- A: Add more RAM to your computer. The more RAM that you have, within
- reasonable limits, the faster Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock will
- load and run.
-
- Q: The dialog skips, pops, or drops out. I have a SoundBlaster Live
- card. Your box says that it supports this card. What's up with that?
- A: You have old LiveWare software and drivers. Visit the Creative Labs
- web site and download LiveWare 3.0 or higher.
-
- Q: I don't have a SoundBlaster Live card, but I have dialog that skips,
- pops, or drops out. What about me?
- A: You should download and install the latest drivers from your board
- manufacturer. If you have an Aureal based card (like the Diamond
- Monster Sound card), download the latest drivers from
- http://www.a3d.com/html/download/drivers/.
-
- Q: I have the latest drivers and I am sure that things are working. How
- can I get more cool stuff from my sound card?
- A: From the Sound Options Menu, turn on Hardware Mixing. If you have
- any sound problems, turn this back off (default).
-
- Q: The pistols sound really bad sometimes. It sounds like they are
- getting cut off. What's up?
- A: It sounds like you have your sound turned up too high on the mixer
- in Windows. Load up the mixer for your sound card and make sure the
- volume is no higher than 75%. Then, when you want louder sounds, turn
- up the sound on your speakers and not in the mixer.
-
- Q: Should I use DirectX 7a with Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock?
- A: Yes. DirectX7a is required.
-
- Q: The screen has a black bar above and below it (letterbox), but
- nothing is happening and the game won't continue? What do I do?
- A: Hit the ESC key on your keyboard and choose to skip the cinematic.
-
- Q: I have set up my controls so that I use the keys on the number pad.
- I can't seem to get combinations of keys to work (i.e. run and jump at
- the same time). Why?
- A: Because of the way the number pad works, it can't understand two
- keys on the number pad being pressed at the same time. You should
- reconfigure your controls so you will never need to press two keys on
- the number pad simultaneously (i.e. run and jump for a running jump).
-
- Q: Will Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock run on a AMD-K6 Processor?
- A: Sure.
-
- Q: The game is too dark even when I try calibration. What can I do?!?
- A: Use F11 and F12 to adjust the gamma in game.
-
- Q: How do you Uninstall Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock.
- A: Go to control panel and select Add/Remove programs.
-
- Q: I have Windows NT. Can I run with hardware accelerated graphics?
- A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock supports Windows NT in software
- mode. You'll need Windows 2000 and the proper drivers from the video
- card manufacturer to run accelerated under Direct3D. Windows NT doesn't
- support DirectX 5 or better (which is what Blair Witch Volume Two -
- Coffin Rock needs to run properly with acceleration).
-
- Q: Particles make my video and/or sound to run choppy, what do I do?
- A: Try turning down the particle density in the graphics options.
-
- Q: When I play in hardware over 640x480 I see the occasional wrong camera or left-over scene.
- A: This is due to a problem in clearing the previous frame buffer, it will not affect gameplay in any way.
-
- Q. I need technical support! What do I do?!?
