-
- Known problems & tips
- ---------------------
- Occasionally textures fail to load correctly, but switching out to Windows and
- back again fixes this.
-
- Because the game doesn't take total control over your machine, running other
- applications at the same time can result in severe slow-down. If you want to
- get the best performance, close everything else.
-
- If the game is really slow, you can help speed it up by changing the display
- settings in the pause menu (or the config file) to remove the sky, the sea, or
- to reduce the resolution.
-
-
- Configuration File
- ------------------
- The configuration file is like most Windows .ini files. The sections most
- likely to be worth changing yourself are the player controls, since the demo
- version doesn't include the front-end, and hence has no means of changing the
- controls. To use a joystick, swap the player 2 section with the player 1
- section, and redefine the buttons to your own preference. Most of the rest of
- the options can either be changed in game from the pause menu, or have no effect.
