The following is last minute information that was not included in the Help 
file.


POWER VR

When using the Power VR 3D accelerated option, you may experience flickering
on the screen between what appears to be a frame from the current mission
and a frame from the mission last played.  Hitting the ESC key should
refresh the screen and eliminate this problem.

Also, you may experience problems with black boxes appearing behind textures
that have transparency.  This is a result of using old drivers for your 3D
card.  Please make sure you are at least using version 4.1 drivers, which
should be available at www.matrox.com or www.videologic.com.

CANOPUS PURE 3D CARDS

When playing in Glide mode (native 3Dfx) on this card, you may experience 
problems with textures being displayed wrong.  There are two workarounds 
to this problem.  (1) You can play in Direct3D mode, or (2) You can add 
SET SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2 to your autoexec.bat and restart your machine.  This 
will allow you to play in Glide mode without the problem.   

CUTSCENES

When playing in a 3D accelerated mode, you may notice a quick flicker
between cuts during the movies.  Unfortunately, there is no solution to
this problem.

GRAPHIC DETAIL OPTIONS IN 3D ACCELERATED MODE

When playing in a 3D accelerated mode, the Terrain Textures, Clouds and 
Horizons graphic detail options are locked to the ON position.  If you
bring up the ESC menu while in the shell (as opposed to during a 
mission), you will be able to change the toggle for these options.  
However, the options will remain on once you enter a mission.

INTERNET CONNECTION

When players try to host Internet games while experiencing more than 
20% packet loss, they will be able to launch into games but the games 
will not show up on the server for other players to see.  They should 
reconnect to their internet provider and ping the Nitro servers at the 
prompt in the MS-DOS box, e.g., ">ping california3.activision.com -t" 
and check to see if their connection improved.

KICKING PLAYERS FROM MULTIPLAYER GAMES

Instead of using CTRL + (# of player) to eject a player, use 
CTRL+ (# of player) minus one to eject the player.  For example, if the 
host screen has 'H, 2, 3, ...' on the screen and the host wants to 
kick the second player from the game, the host has to use CTRL+1 
to kick the second player from the game.

HOST MIGRATION IN MULTIPLAYER GAMES 

If the current host and player next in line to become host simultaneously
quit a multiplayer game, you may experience random problems in the game
afterward.  It is best to just start a new game when this happens.

WEAPONS LABEL

Occasionally, the weapons cockpit display may disappear after being killed
and/or host migration in multiplayer games.  Hitting the ESC key will 
refresh the screen and eliminate this problem.
