RALLY CHALLENGE Demo - Readme file....The stuff you need to know....
13/1/97
1) Memory and other Apps. - Notes about multi-tasking Rally Challenge
2) Extra Keys - What we either forget to include in the manual, or added at
the last minute.
3) Direct X - Rally Challenge and DirectX information
4) Other stuff
----------
Memory and other Apps.
----------------------
If your machine has 8 Mb of memory, Rally Challenge should run OK, but only
if you aren't running any other programmes as the same time. This is a
pretty good rule to follow regardless of how much memory you have. We
recommend that you quit all other programs before launching Rally Challenge.
----------
Extra Keys
----------
Also, don't press ALT-TAB or CTRL-ESC to switch tasks. This version of
Rally Challenge doesn't like being minimized. Why you need to check another
app when you screaming through the forest at 200 KPH essapes me anyway.
----------
Direct X
--------
Rally Challenge uses DirectX version 2. Version 3 will be out by the time
you are playing this, but we didn't get it in time to include it. Version 3
of DirectPlay is supposed to support Internet play, but since we don't have
Version 3 yet, we haven't been able to test it.
To get up-to-date info, check our Web site at :
http:\\www.silverlightning.com
or the Roadshow page :
http:\\www.village.com.au
Look in the 'Interactive' section
We are hoping to add patches for 3D accelerators soon also.
If you are using the Diamond Stealth 64 Series(Diamond GT) switch to
Diamond Stealth 64 Video PCI drivers that come standard with Windows 95.
Again, Direct X v3 should hopefully fix this.
----------
Other Stuff
-----------
The first time you start Rally Challenge, you will be a message box that
says 'Could not load prefs..using default'. This is normal, and will only
happen the first time you play the game.
Enjoy Rally Challenge. Or else. Then buy it. Please.
