- LAST MINUTE RECOMMENDATIONS
- -------------------------
-
-
-
-
- 1. ERROR MESSAGES
- -----------------
-
- If for any reason the game crashes or returns to DOS, check that you have :
- - At least 580 KB (=593920 bytes)of conventional memory,
- - At least 4 MB of RAM available,
- - At least 2.7 MB of free EMS memory.
- - A VESA compatible video card (standard video) and the appropriate
- VESA driver.
- - A Microsoft compatible mouse.
- - DOS version higher than 5.00.
-
- If you are using QEMM, you may encounter compatibility problems with your
- video card. To solve the problem, the QEMM stealth option must be removed. If
- this option is active, you will notice in the 'CONFIG.SYS' file, a command
- line containing "ST:M", "ST:F",... In this case you can either delete the
- string "ST:M" or use the OPTIMIZE command without the stealth option.
- It is also also possible, for the same reasons as in the introduction, the
- screen remains black : you can remedy this problem the same way.
-
-
-
- 2. HARDWARE PROBLEMS
- --------------------
-
- - On computers with a slow access hard disk, the game may freeze or
- the introduction sequence may loop.
- In this case you must use a cache disk (such as smartdrv.exe from Microsoft)
- to be able to hear all sounds and music; otherwise use the option /C.
- (Type A4 /C at the DOS prompt, this will disable the audio ressources
- integrated in the game).
-
- - However, some 'fully Sound Blaster compatible' cards are not
- compatible enough to run the game properly. In that case A4 /C is the only
- solution left to enjoy the game.
-
-
-
- 3. INCREASE MEMORY
- ------------------
-
- You're able to play to play with less than 580 Ko of conventional
- memory. To do so : launch _ /C at the call of DOS. (in the directory
- INFOGRAM\NETWORKS or in the directory you have put the game)
-
-
-
- 4. ADDITIONAL ADVICE
- --------------------
-
- - We recommend you (especially for those who have a slow access hard
- disk) to use a cache disk. You can type SMARTDRV 4096 4096 (provided that you
- have enough EMS memory!)
-
- - Before using the On-line competition, make sure you have played
- long enough to be ranked.
-
-
-
- 5. LAST MINUTE CHANGES WHICH ARE NOT INTEGRATED TO THE MANUAL
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - Sub Menu SCHEDULE : You will not be able to enter this sub-menu
- unless you have bought a train or a bus.
-
- - The former menu BALANCE SHEET is now called REPORT.
-
- - It is impossible to build ski resorts on the following maps :
- - COME
- - CLEVELAND
- - CAYMAN ISLANDS
- since as in real life there are no ski resorts in these areas.
- However, you will be able to experiment with that option in Vancouver and
- GOTEBORG.
-
- - The largest amount of money you can borrow from the Bank is 70 % of
- your assets, including possible previous loans already contracted
-
- - If your total amout of cash is higher than £10 billions, it is
- impossible for you to raise a loan.
-
- - The ultimate on line icon pops up a new menu with two codes
-
- 1) Your personal ID code, to be used each time you want to
- send us your score.
- 2) Your current score, which will be displayed on screen once
- your ID code has been delivered onto our system.
-
- - During the installation, under DOS or WINDOWS, there's no option
- icon.
-
- - Following the previous point, it's impossible to do an upgrade in
- order to change the parameters, once the game is installed.
-
-
- VERY BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL
