10.1. Q-Lat2 doesn't execute at all or the game doesn't work properly


See chapter 1: System Requirements. If Q-Lat 2 doesn't execute properly, most likely your system doesn't meet the system requirements.

Make sure you have the latest version of Direct X, or at least version 6.0. Latest version can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp

Q-Lat 2 doesn't work, if any files are missing or they are corrupted. It is possible, that if you have downloaded Q-Lat2 package through the Net, the package could have been damaged. Try downloading the game again from our site at http://pistegamez.cjb.net

WARNING: Modifying or replacing any of the files that came with Q-Lat2, may cause the game not to work properly.

 

10.2. The game is too slow


See chapter 4.6: Graphic Details Menu. Dropping the levels of details increases the game's performance.

Turning the music off, or decreasing the music quality in Midas Digital Audio System Setup (see chapter 3).

The reason the game requires so much power is because of the fact, that I'm not a programming genius. But I like my games cool looking, so I like to add all sorts of useless but nifty details to them. Sorry about that if you're an owner of a slow machine :-/

 

10.3. Screen is blinking


There may be difficulties with some old video cards. I recommend you get the latest drivers to your video card from the manufacture's web site. Blinking may also be result of slow performance. I really don't know how to fix this, so if anyone knows any good tips how to resolve this problem, I'd appreciate it if you sent them to me :)

 

10.4. Screen shots fail


This is how I took my screen shots:
During the game press Print Screen. Exit the game and open Paintshop Pro (I use 3.11). Choose Edit > Paste > As New Image. Choose Colors > Load Palette. Set option "Apply Palette to Image using:" to "Maintain Indexes". Load Q2.pal from Q-Lat2/Gfx directory. Some times this fails, but most often it works.

You can also use one of these screen shots:
