kill.switch (TM) supports Creative Labs EAX on supported sound cards. When you install the game you will be asked whether you want to install the EAX drivers.
EAX support is automatically enabled if available.
(5) Dolby Digital
kill.switch (TM) supports Dolby Digital(TM) on Nvidia nForce® or other motherboards/soundcards containing the Dolby Digital Interactive Content Encoder required for Dolby Digital audio
(6) Joystick Support
kill.switch (TM) can be played with a joystick / game-pad provided the device has two analogue sticks and at least eight buttons.
When you select a joystick in Controller Settings the set-up program will attempt to auto-configure the controls for joysticks which it can recognise.
However, please ensure that the joystick axes are mapped correctly to the movement and camera controls. Some joysticks / game-pads can have analogue buttons which behave in a similar way to analogue sticks – if these are mapped to the camera controls then the game may not function as expected e.g. camera spinning constantly.
