Installing the game
Drag the folder "Planetary Conquest" to your hard drive. You have to keep all the files in this folder, otherwise textures and/or objects are missing during game play. Launching the game from the CD-Rom is not recommended because the preference file could not be saved on an read only drive.
Documentation
The Documentation is included on the CD-Rom of the full version in the folder "PQ Documentation"
Troubleshooting
>>When the game is started, a black screen appears.
There are several reasons why OpenGL does not init your accelerator. When the accelerator is working in other OpenGL games, you need to adjust the preference-dialog (first dialog appearing). If you have got an 3d-Only accelerator (Voodoo 1/2), you need to check this button.You may have to download a recent release of the drivers for your 3d accelerator.
>>I am not able to connect to another computer on a TCP/IP network
TCP/IP networking has not been fully tested, expecially over the Internet. Please try connecting with AppleTalk.
>>The game crashes while loading
There is not enough Ram/3d accelerator Ram. You have to check the available Ram on your system first. If you have more than 20 MB of FREE Ram, your 3d-accelerator has not enough vram (>8Mb)
