- Technical Information about WinWayout 2.00
- ------------------------------------------
-
- - GRAPHIC DRIVER PROBLEMS (ET4000)
-
- While WinWayout 2.00 runs without problems on many machines, we've
- experienced troubles with some ET-4000 graphic drivers.
-
- WinWayout 2.00 uses backing store to create the view of the lab.
- After excessive resizing of the game window (which causes our program to
- release the backing store and request new backing store adapted to the
- window size), Windows stops short. We're shure this is a problem of the
- graphic driver an not an error in our program.
-
- We recommend you check this out on your machine by zooming/unzooming the
- game window for aprox. 15 times. If the problem occures, you should use
- another graphic driver if possible or avoid resizing the game window.
-
-
- - SOUNDS (SPEAKER.DRV - speaker driver)
-
- In order to hear sounds in this game, you must install a sound-driver on
- your computer.
-
- If you play the game with sound, you will notice that the effects stop the
- game for the time they are audible. This is due to the fact that Windows
- 3.1 cannot asynchronousely (this means, without holding the program)
- play sounds that are linked as resources. Only sounds that are stored on
- files can be played asynchronousely (but this is no help for FX because of
- the time it takes to load the file). If you hold the mouse button or key
- pressed while the sound is playing, the function of the button/key will be
- executed several times when the sound is finished. This may cause undesired
- effects, e.g. when using a weapon.
-
- You can enable/disable the sound effects in the Options-part of the menu.
-
- To hear the music, choose Help/About... and wait for 5 Seconds.
-
- If the music stops after a few seconds, check the "Seconds to limit playback"-
- parameter of your sound driver.
-
- - SPEED
-
- Due to the new graphic system, WinWayout 2.00 is less flickering but also
- slower than previous versions.
-
- To increase the speed of the game:
-
- - reduce the graphic-detail-level or
- - reduce the size of the window.
-
-
- We hope you enjoy our new game!
