Improving Game play Performance
==================================================================
If you are experiencing low performance you should...
- Make sure your system has enough resources free, shut down all other applications.
- Make sure you have the latest video card drivers for your graphics card.
- Run JuicedConfig and reduce the video mode to a less demanding setting e.g. 640*480*16.
- Use the graphics options in game to reduce track detail to minimum.
- Use the shaders tab in JuicedConfig to limit the more sohpisticated shaders, setting to shader 1.0 will boost overall performance on some graphics cards.
- Turn off effect options such as motion blur and depth of field.
- Using the "Juiced software audio" shortcut can improve performance on some audio cards.

Video:
Check system specification and close down all background applications.
It is highly recommended to go to your video card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card.
Flickering on some objects due to Z-fighting may be apparent on cards when 16 bit modes are selected.
Sound:
It is highly recommended to go to your sound card manufacturer's website and download updated drivers for your card.
Using the "Juiced Software audio" shortcut from your start menu can improve framerate on some cards.
If you experience issues with choppy music try the "Juiced No In Game Music" shortcut
Input:
Some systems have been seen to experience problems selecting the controller options, if your system fails to show a DirectInput controller configuration box when you select this option please run the "dInputFix.bat" found in your installation directory.
General:
If you encounter virtual memory errors while loading Juiced you will need to clear some more free space on your hard drive.
It is strongly recommended that you close all applications before installing and running Juiced. You can use your task manager to close down unwanted applications.
