PC GAMER 3.15 CD README FILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTX 5.0
Per chi non legge le pagine disco, ricordiamo di installare i drivers DirectX5:
basta lanciare DXSETUP.EXE nella directory \DIRECTX sul CD.
FINAL FANTASY VII
The Final Fantasy VII demo ha una limitazione: funziona solo con le schede
3Dfx Voodoo Graphics 3D.
Questo significa che chi possiede una scheda Voodoo Rush or Voodoo 2 non pu≥
giocare. Tuttavia se si possiede una di queste schede non si dovrebbero avere problemi:
Diamond Monster 3D
Orchid Righteous 3D
Deltron Realvision Falsh 3D
Skywell Technology Magic 3D
Guillemot MaxiGamer
Canopus Pure 3D
Miro HiScore
Ovviamente bisogna installare anche i drivers per la 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics Direct3D,
inclusi nel demo.
That'll mean going into your Control Panel to update the current
drivers. These instructions are taken directly from the 3Dfx README.TXT file. You might
want to print them to help you install the new drivers.

HEAVY GEAR
Anche questo come Final Fantasy VII, richiede i drivers Direct3D per la 3Dfx Voodoo
Graphics per funzionare.
************************************* segue il testo originale
NET FIGHTER
In order to play Net Fighter, the online action game from SegaSoft, you have to install
SegaSoft's HEAT.net software. You can find the software in the Communications Hut on
Coconut Monkey's island. Be sure to install HEAT before attempting to play Net Fighter!
The program runs through the HEAT front end.
FRONT END STUFF
Remember that in some cases, we provide links to web sites. In order to use these
links, make sure you specify the web browser you want to use in the Communications
Hut (if you don't have one chosen, you'll be prompted to do so). Also, to get to the
sites, you'll have to dial in to your Internet service provider.
Sometimes, you might click "Install Software" under the front end, and it seems like
nothing happens. Please be patient. We test each installation program to make sure
it runs under the front end. But sometimes, the program takes some time to load images
or sub-programs. If you're patient, you'll be rewarded with the installation program
loading up. If you're impatient and continually click the "Install Software" button,
you might accidentally run the installation program multiple times. A good clue to
figure out if your computer is still working on loading the install program is to take
a look at your hard drive and CD-ROM lights. If they're flashing, they're processing.
We always recommend that if you use the front end to install the demos, make sure you
exit out from it before you actually run them. Sometimes demos will conflict with the
front end, making the demo do weird things. In extreme situations, we put a warning
in the front end itself, but it's a good rule of thumb to use the front end to install
the demos, then close it to run them.
Remember, you can always bypass our front end all together by manually installing the
demos, as described on pages 8 and 9 in the magazine.
GENERAL CD STUFF
We've gotten quite a few reports of high-speed CD-ROM drives having difficulty
reading our CDs. We're not sure why yet, but we're working on it. This issue's CD was
created using different software than the last six issues. So if you had problems,
let us know if this CD works better for you. Please E-mail us at mwolf@pcgamer.com if
your problems go away with this issue. However, if it still doesn't work, and you think
it might be a damaged CD, you can get a replacement CD from "subscribe@pcgamer.com"
THINGS IN THE WORKS
We've heard the suggestions, and we're going to do something about it. A project is
currently underway to compile a list of all the patches we've ever put on one of our
CDs, culled from Tom McDonald's Extended Play column. The list will include the name
of the game, the version, and what CD its located on. We're also going to put together
a list of all the demos we've put on one of our CDs. Please be patient with us,
however. The data entry will take some time, and it's low on the priority list right
now. If you have any other suggestions on how we can improve our CD, please go to
support.imaginemedia.com and select Choice Three to send us your suggestions. We'd
love to hear them!
