I. WINDOW MODE
All video cards we tested with work in Window Mode.
a. SIMULATING FULLSCREEN MODE IN 640x480 resolution
If your video card resolution is set to 640x480, then running in Window Mode will simulate Fullscreen/DirectDraw by allowing the NetStorm game window to adopt the full size of your screen! The "Edge Scroll in FullScreen" feature will also be enabled!
II. FULLSCREEN/DIRECTDRAW
Although most video cards we tested with run successfully in FullScreen/DirectDraw mode, there are a few video cards we have tested on which did NOT run in this mode (but will still work in Window Mode).
-Trident 9660
-STB Nitro 3D, using Vision95 desktop controls. (If the drivers are used without Vision95 installed, this card will work in Fullscreen.)
-#9 9FX Motion 771, using S3-Vision drivers. (Using the #9 drivers, this card will work in Fullscreen.)
a. HOW TO RETURN TO WINDOW MODE
If you switch into FullScreen/DirectDraw mode and experience graphics problems or the game runs too slow, you can always return to Window Mode by pressing ALT-ENTER.
III. CLOUD PARALLAX
This option will be disabled if NetStorm detects that your video card does not have enough memory to support it. However, from our tests we have determined that the following cards cannot support Cloud Parallax, even though they do work in FullScreen/DirectDraw:
