Problems have been identified with slow frame rate and game instability on driver releases prior to 5.x. The Diamond Viper II This video card appears to have Z-precision issues. This results in the polygons (or groups of polygons) appearing to "swim" and "poke through each other" in both the game options screens and while driving (most notably with the cars). Diamond is aware of this problem and is looking into it. The Diamond Stealth III G540 This video card has graphical problems when using some S3 provided video drivers. Diamond provided drivers do not show this problem. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CONTROLS 'Look Forward' This function when used with the 'Look Left' and 'Look Right' keys allows you to look at a 45 Degree angle in each direction. Example: When holding down the 'Look Left' key and the 'Look Forward' key at the same time, you will look left 45 degrees. When pressing the 'look forward' button on it's own, it does nothing. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// SCREEN SHOTS Press Alt-P to take screenshots from gameplay to show your friends or put on the Internet. Once you have taken a screenshot, they can be found in [Need For Speed]SaveData. The screenshots are named UNLEASHEDxx.TGA. The file format is TGA (Photoshop) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// INSTALL Issues Poor install performance and Outlook 98 Symptom When I run Setup.exe on my system, which has Microsoft® Outlook? 98 running and is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server, the setup initialization reaches 99%, but then nothing happens. If I wait a long time, the first dialog box appears and the installation proceeds normally. Cause This problem occurs due to some timing issues between Setup.exe and the Microsoft Exchange Server. Workaround Close Outlook 98 before running Setup.exe. Generally, you should not have any other applications running when you run an installation. Crash while installing when using Browse on Netware Networks Symptom On any PC with Client32 installed and connected to the network, clicking "browse" during the install to select a different directory to install to will cause the installer to crash. Cause This problem happens only on some systems running Client for NetWare Networks. It is due to a bug in Nwnp32.dll that affects programs that display the 16-bit style open file common dialog box. In InstallShield installation authoring products, it affects all dialogs that contain a Browse button (AskDestPath, AskPath, ComponentDialog, EnterDisk, SdAskDestPath, SdComponentDialog, SdComponentDialogAdv, and SdSetupType). Resolution A fix is available on Microsoft?s Web site at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q192/2/49.asp. Note: This information only applies to the English version of Windows 98. Contact Microsoft for the Japanese and German versions of this DLL. Workaround Prior to the availability of the fix, some InstallShield customers reported that taking the following actions enabled them to work around the problem: - Connect to a bindery server, instead of using NDS (NetWare Directory Services). - Do not map any network drives (including through the logon script). - Do not log on to the network. - Use a custom dialog to prompt for the path. - Use the AskPath dialog and type the path into the edit field, instead of browsing to it. - Install and use NetWare network client software from Novell, instead of the existing Client for NetWare Networks. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Alt-Tab Problems When returning to a game that was minimized with Alt-Tab, you may experience pauses or temporary graphic corruption. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Audio Delay If you are using a Sound Card that does not have current Direct X driver support you may experience slight delays in audio playback. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// Attention Windows 98/98SE Intel Camino and Athlon motherboard users!
