Helpful Hints
-------------
Save OFTEN. You never know what dangers lurk around the next corner.
The F6 key is the Quick Save key and the F9 key is the Quick load key.
Use the monitor calibration from the graphics options menu to adjust
your brightness/contrast of your display to the optimal settings.
With your monitor calibrated, play in total darkness if possible. If
you play with the lights on, you may loose some of the important
details of your surroundings.
Use F11 and F12 to adjust gamma if the game is too bright or too dark.
When changing controls, go to the top of the control configuration
menu, and select "Restore Defaults" to change to the default settings.
To learn the controls during gameplay, press F1 to display the control
mappings.
Keep health items such as food ready by preselecting them with the [
and ] keys. To restore your health, press ENTER. This will raise the
window to verify that you mean to use the item. Press ENTER again to
use the item. You may also enable "Auto Use Health" from the control
options menu (default is ON).
Sometimes you just need to run like hell away from monsters. This isn't
your typical action game. There are times where you will be low on
ammo - it is better to run and live than fight and die.
To make Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock more challenging, turn off
"Auto Aim" mode from the controls menu.
Hardware acceleration is turned off by default. If your video card
supports hardware acceleration, try turning it on.
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card. If your
drivers are more than 3 months old, they are most likely out of date.
Back away from enemies while attacking (even when using melee weapons).
Most enemies only have close range attacks so if you keep some
distance, Lazarus will have the advantage.
Seeing in the Dark
------------------
LANTERN:
The lantern is switched on and off by pressing the Lantern key. (F in
all modes)
Known Issues
==========
If you experience audio dropout while playing Blair Witch 2, make sure
you have the latest sound drivers, or go to the Sound Options menu and
set Device: WavOutWrite: YOUR WAVE DEVICE (the name of your sound card
should be listed here). This should solve the drop out problem.
When talking to characters in Blair Witch 2, sometimes it is necessary
to press and hold the mouse button to get a response.
If your sound or video card drivers are older than 2 months old, they
are most likely outdated. Please download the latest drivers for your
video and sound cards. If you do not know of a source for these
drivers, visit http://www.nocturnegame.com/nocsupport/
Troubleshooting
---------------
Q: I have a video card with only 1MB of memory on it. I meet the system
requirements otherwise. Can I play Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin
Rock??
A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock requires a video card with at
least 2MB of memory on it. Sorry, you will need to upgrade your video
card.
Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock seems really choppy and slow. I
have a fairly low system and I was hoping to play...
A: In the Graphics Options Menu try turning your screen resolution
down. The default is 640 X 480, but you will get faster frame rates at
lower resolutions. Unfortunately, some video cards can have trouble
with lower resolutions. If this happens to you, try varying your
resolutions in the game to see which resolution gives you the best
performance.
Q. I have a Voodoo4/Voodoo5, and when I run in 32 bit color, the frame
rate is very slow. When I set it to 16 bit color, the frame rate is
back to normal. What gives?
A. We believe that this is a bug in the new Voodoo4/Voodoo5 drivers.
Because we are unsure, we are working with 3Dfx to try to address the
problem. If the problem is due to something in their drivers, you
should give 32 bit color a try after each driver update from 3Dfx. If
the problem is in our renderer, we will attempt to correct this issue
in a patch.
Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock displays an error message after
loading/starting a mission.
A: Turn off 3D acceleration from the Graphics Options Menu. Some cards
can not properly support 3D hardware acceleration.
Q: My card supports 3D acceleration. I am sure of it. I want a faster
frame rate!
A: Turn on 3D acceleration from the Graphics Options Menu. If the
program crashes as you load a mission, see the Q & A above.
Q: I have a 3Dfx based card. Will Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock
use this card?
A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Rustin Parr supports Voodoo2, Voodoo
Banshee, Voodoo3, and Voodoo5.
Q: Does Blair Witch Volume Two - Rustin Parr run on Voodoo2, Voodoo
Banshee or Voodoo3?
A: We do not recommend using Voodoo1 or Voodoo2 because they are not
AGP cards. Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock will run on them, it
just won't be as fast as on AGP cards. In reference to Voodoo3, Blair
Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr can run in 16bpp 640 X 480 mode. In
reference to Voodoo5, Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr can run at
higher resolutions in 32 bit color.
Q: I have a Voodoo3 - Can resolutions greater than 640x480 be used?
A: Voodoo3 cards do not support the large textures used in Blair Witch
Volume One - Coffin Rock. If we can find a workaround to this that
doesn't make the game look even more blurry (than it does now on a
Voodoo3), we'll fix it.
Q: Can Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock run in software rendering?
A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock runs very well with software
rendering - better than it does with hardware acceleration in 16 bit
color under most instances. Select 32-Bit Mode from the Graphics
Options Menu. If your computer's clock speed is less than 500MHz, you
may wish to run Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr in 512x384 or
320x240 mode. Blair Witch Volume One - Rustin Parr automatically
detects the optimal screen resolution for your computer. Screen
resolution may be changed from the Graphics Options menu.
Q: Lazarus is all white, without any textures on him. Sometimes other
characters turn all white. What the heck?!?
A: Most likely you have a card based on a Rage chipset, which has
problems with DirectX 6 and beyond causing this kind of illusion.
Q: The game runs but all I see are shadows. What gives?
A: You probably have a TnT or TnT2 based card. Download the latest
reference video drivers from NVidia's web site.
Q: I want to run higher resolutions than 640x480.
A: You need 16MB on your video card. 32-bit color requires plenty of
video memory and cards with less than 16MB of video memory can not
handle this. Also, some cards that do have 16MB+ of video memory can
not handle Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock in higher resolutions.
Q: 1280x1024 mode runs slow.
A: This mode only runs fast enough on Matrox G400, ATI Rage 128, and
GeForce video cards.
Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock exits to the desktop when I run
it in 512x384 mode.
A: Don't run 512x384 mode. Some older video cards don't properly
support this mode.
Q: The game says that I have less than 200MB of Virtual Memory free.
How do I fix this so that Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock runs
best?
A: Select Control Panel, then System, then Performance, then Virtual
Memory. It is best to change this setting so that Windows manages
virtual memory.
Q: Game gives an error message saying that you're out of memory.
A: You need more virtual memory. See previous Q&A for how to change
your virtual memory settings.
Q: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock levels do not load as quickly
as I would like.
A: Add more RAM to your computer. The more RAM that you have, within
reasonable limits, the faster Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock will
load and run.
Q: The dialog skips, pops, or drops out. I have a SoundBlaster Live
card. Your box says that it supports this card. What's up with that?
A: You have old LiveWare software and drivers. Visit the Creative Labs
web site and download LiveWare 3.0 or higher.
Q: I don't have a SoundBlaster Live card, but I have dialog that skips,
pops, or drops out. What about me?
A: You should download and install the latest drivers from your board
manufacturer. If you have an Aureal based card (like the Diamond
Monster Sound card), download the latest drivers from
http://www.a3d.com/html/download/drivers/.
Q: I have the latest drivers and I am sure that things are working. How
can I get more cool stuff from my sound card?
A: From the Sound Options Menu, turn on Hardware Mixing. If you have
any sound problems, turn this back off (default).
Q: The pistols sound really bad sometimes. It sounds like they are
getting cut off. What's up?
A: It sounds like you have your sound turned up too high on the mixer
in Windows. Load up the mixer for your sound card and make sure the
volume is no higher than 75%. Then, when you want louder sounds, turn
up the sound on your speakers and not in the mixer.
Q: Should I use DirectX 7a with Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock?
A: Yes. DirectX7a is required.
Q: The screen has a black bar above and below it (letterbox), but
nothing is happening and the game won't continue? What do I do?
A: Hit the ESC key on your keyboard and choose to skip the cinematic.
Q: I have set up my controls so that I use the keys on the number pad.
I can't seem to get combinations of keys to work (i.e. run and jump at
the same time). Why?
A: Because of the way the number pad works, it can't understand two
keys on the number pad being pressed at the same time. You should
reconfigure your controls so you will never need to press two keys on
the number pad simultaneously (i.e. run and jump for a running jump).
Q: Will Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock run on a AMD-K6 Processor?
A: Sure.
Q: The game is too dark even when I try calibration. What can I do?!?
A: Use F11 and F12 to adjust the gamma in game.
Q: How do you Uninstall Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock.
A: Go to control panel and select Add/Remove programs.
Q: I have Windows NT. Can I run with hardware accelerated graphics?
A: Blair Witch Volume Two - Coffin Rock supports Windows NT in software
mode. You'll need Windows 2000 and the proper drivers from the video
card manufacturer to run accelerated under Direct3D. Windows NT doesn't
support DirectX 5 or better (which is what Blair Witch Volume Two -
Coffin Rock needs to run properly with acceleration).
Q: Particles make my video and/or sound to run choppy, what do I do?
A: Try turning down the particle density in the graphics options.
Q: When I play in hardware over 640x480 I see the occasional wrong camera or left-over scene.
A: This is due to a problem in clearing the previous frame buffer, it will not affect gameplay in any way.
Q. I need technical support! What do I do?!?
