Please advise your system administrator to install the demo of the game for you. 16-bit mode For best visual quality, avoid running the game in 16-bit mode. In 16-bit mode, polygons may flicker in the distance, dithering artefacts may appear and some special effects relying on pixel shaders will be disabled. Anti-aliasing Enabling full screen anti-aliasing in the driver on NVidia GeForce cards may cause the computer to lock up under certain configurations. Fog On some cards supporting vertex shaders fog artefacts may appear on the horizon or in the sky. To avoid this you can disable vertex shaders at the loss of some special effects (water and dynamic lighting). To disable vertex shaders add the line "d3d8_enablevertexshaders=0" to the file "environment.cfg" found in the root of the install directory. Water On Radeon 8500 and Matrox Parhelia the water surfaces don't render correctly (using the current drivers at the time of writing). This is a driver issue. Until new drivers have been released that solves this problem you can disable pixel shaders to minimize the problem. To do this add the line "d3d8_enablepixelshaders=0" to the file "environment.cfg" found in the root of the install directory. Radeon 8500 Radeon 8500 exhibits z-buffer problems with latest drivers (Windows 2000/XP 6.13.10.6200C, Windows 98/ME 4.13.01.9069). Please use the previous drivers (Windows 2000/XP 6.13.10.6166C, Windows 98/ME 4.13.01.9062) or updated drivers that work. Troubleshooting - If the demo of the game crashes on start-up, try installing the latest software drivers for your hardware devices (e.g. video card). - If you have low system RAM (less than 128 MB), and you are experiencing virtual memory access during the game, you should make sure that: a) There are no other applications running in the background while you play Enclave demo. b) That your "Texture Resolution" sliders (in texture options) are not set to the highest setting. - Key presses sometimes get stuck when you press 3 or more keys at the same time. To solve this, press once again the key that caused the problem. GAME PERFORMANCE ISSUES Known issues regarding the performance or speed of the demo of the game are listed in this section. Configuring your settings for optimum performance The following steps are recommended to optimize game performance. * Download and install the latest drivers for your sound card, video card, and motherboard. * Download and install the latest Windows updates and service packs. * Make sure your AGP bus is properly configured in the BIOS. * Be sure to download and install the latest AGP drivers. * Monitor your system's performance when using antivirus software and during other system processes. * Make sure you have installed bus-mastering drivers for your IDE controller. * Use a disk defragmenter tool on a regular basis to maintain optimal system performance. * Try the Graphics settings and Texture settings in modifying Enclave demo to better match your system's capabilities.
