vary from card to card)
- 20MB hard drive space
- DirectX 5+ supported soundcard
- 4 x Speed CD-ROM
******************************************************************
2. DIRECTX5+
LiveWire! has been optimised for DirectX, in order to take advantage of this
optimisation you are strongly advised to install DirecX6 when prompted to.
DirectX6 will install new video and audio drivers to your system where
appropriate.
Hardware Acceleration
LiveWire! runs in Direct 3D, this ensures that the game provides the best
performance on the widest range of 3D video cards.
******************************************************************
3. GAME LAUNCHER
When the game starts it looks at the hardware in your PC and tries to work
out the best graphics mode to run in. The launcher will default to Direct 3D
if it detects a 3D accelerator card.
If no suitable 3D card is detected or there is a hardware/driver problem the
launcher will default to Software mode.
You may need to install the latest video drivers for your particular card to
secure the best performance from the game. These drivers are normally
available from your card manufacturer or they may be downloaded from the
Internet. (See the 3D CARD SUPPORT SITES below)
It is possible to override the options the launcher selects but we recommend
playing the game in whatever default mode is initially presented before
selecting any alternate modes.
Livewire! will support multi-monitor systems possible under Windows98.
To play the game on a specific monitor you must choose the driver associated
with that monitor in the launcher. These will be listed under the 'Advanced'
settings of the launcher.
The launcher provides the following advanced options:-
LINEAR FILTERING:- *
This option causes your 3D card to lessen the 'blockiness' of any texture
on screen. Some early 3D cards will not support this ability, notibly early
Matrox cards such as the Mystique and Millenium.
TEXTURE DITHERING:- *
This option will again, help to remove the the 'blockiness' of textures on
screen. Just about all 3D cards will support this function.
SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS:- **
This option should be set if you find that Livewire! does not run at a
respectable speed. It turns off various advanced settings within the game at
the expense of quality and will help slow machines run the game slightly
faster.
ZBUFFERING:- *
This option will prevent much of the 'bleedthrough' of triangles close
to each other on screen. Switching off zbuffering will free up a large
amount of video memory on some 3D cards and can be disabled to help prevent
a loss of texture memory (see below in TROUBLESHOOTING). This option will
normally be disabled by default.
TEXTURE COMPRESSION:-
This option will reduce the amount of video memory required by the textures
in the game at the expense of quality. It should ONLY be enabled if you experience
a loss of textures in the game (see below in TROUBLESHOOTING). This option
will normally be disabled by default.
ANTI ALIAS:- *
This option will 'smoothen' the edges of all polygons drawn by your 3D card.
If your card supports this option, it will increase the quality of the game.
We have noted some strange effects on cards with this option enabled.
This option will normally be disabled by default.
GOURAUD TRIANGLES:- *
This option will enable or disable gouraud shading in the game. Some early
3D cards will not perform gouraud shading and on those cards, this option
will default to off.
If you experience speed problems with your 3D card, you my like to try to
disable all features marked * above and enable features marked **. Some
features require extra processing by the 3D card and disabling them can
increase the rendering speed.
******************************************************************
4. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Q: I know I have a 3D card installed but the launcher isn't picking it up
and offering me that option as a default.
A: Ensure you have the latest DirectX6 compatible drivers for your 3D card.
Check the card manufacturer's web site for the latest drivers.
Q: I have a joystick plugged into my computer, but LiveWire! doesn't
recognise it.
A: Check the joystick configuration in Windows.
Go to Settings...Control Panel...Game Controllers and check to make sure
that your joystick is configured correctly.
Q: Parts of the menu and objects that should be transparent within the game
appear dithered (speckled or dotty) instead.
A: A minority of older 3D cards do not support the effects that LiveWire!
uses for transparent objects in the game. To support these cards we have
implemented the 'next best' option creating the effect you are seeing.
Unfortunately any other solutions are limited by the 3D hardware you are
using.
Q: During a game my controls stop working and a message
"Task Switched - Running in Background" appears.
A: You have pressed either the 'Windows' key on your keyboard or the
'Alt - Tab' key. Consequently Windows thinks that LiveWire is no longer
the uppermost Window on your desktop. Using the 'Alt Tab' key sequence
should restore the game.
Q: The music is too loud or quiet.
A: Adjust the CD audio balance in the windows volume control.
Q: I get no sound effects or at maximum volume (in game settings)
the sound is very low.
A: Adjust the Wave ouput balance in the windows volume control.
Ensure you have the latest DirectX6 compatible drivers for your Sound card.
Check the card manufacturer's web site for the latest drivers.
Q: I get lots of white objects on screen.
A: Your 3D card has run out of texture memory. Livewire! should be able to
avoid this problem but if it does occur, try disabling ZBuffering and/or
enabling texture compression in the 'Advanced' options on the launcher.
Q: The game runs very slow on my computer.
A: Your computer may have quite an old 3D accelerator card which is not as
fast as more modern cards. Try disabling different features in the
'Advanced' options in the launcher or using the LiveWire! fast software
renderer (see above in GAME LAUNCHER).
Q: When playing a network game I get different results from my opponents.
A: Install the very latest drivers for your network card.
******************************************************************
5. KNOWN PROBLEMS
VIDEO
Early Mystique & Millennium Direct 3D cards
These do not support the transparency code used in LiveWire!. As a result
all transparent areas in the game (ghosts/ smoke etc.) do not look
as effective as we would wish.
CREATIVE LABS Graphics Blaster Extreme 3d cards.
There are flickering problems with graphics on bios versions below 1.44.2
These can be fixed by downloading the latest bios and video drivers.
NETWORK
You may encounter problems using the Windows 98 generic network card drivers.
This can be fixed by downloading the very latest drivers from your network
card manufacturer. We suggest that you download the very latest drivers
for your network card anyway.
******************************************************************
6. QA REPORT ON D3D SUPPORT AND PERFORMANCE

2. DIRECTX5+
LiveWire! a ΘtΘ optimisΘ pour DirectX ; afin de profiter de cette
optimisation, nous vous recommandons d'installer DirecX6 lorsqu'on vous l'indique.
DirectX6 installera les nouveaux pilotes audio et vidΘo sur votre systΦme α l'endroit
appropriΘ.
AccΘlΘration matΘrielle
LiveWire! fonctionne sous Direct 3D ; ceci assure que le jeu fournit la meilleure
performance possible sur une gamme Θtendue de cartes vidΘo.
******************************************************************
3. LANCEMENT DU JEU
Lorsque le jeu commence, il inspecte le matΘriel Θquipant votre PC et recherche
Le meilleur mode graphique α exΘcuter. Le programme de lancement choisira Direct 3D par dΘfaut
s'il dΘtecte une carte accΘlΘratrice 3D.
Si aucune carte 3D n'est dΘtectΘe ou qu'il y a un problΦme de matΘriel/pilote, le
programme de lancement se connectera par dΘfaut sur le mode logiciel.
Vous devrez peut-Ωtre installer les tout derniers pilotes vidΘo pour votre carte afin de
vous assurer la meilleure performance possible. Vous pouvez en gΘnΘral
vous procurer ces pilotes auprΦs du fabricant de votre carte ou les tΘlΘcharger α partir de
l'Internet. (voir SITES D'ASSISTANCE DE CARTES 3D, plus bas)
Il est possible d'annuler les options choisies par le programme de lancement, mais nous vous conseillons
de jouer avec le mode initialement choisi avant de
sΘlectionner des modes de jeu diffΘrents.
******************************************************************
4. DEPANNAGE
Q: Je sais que mon PC est ΘquipΘ d'une carte 3D, mais le programme de lancement ne la dΘtecte pas
et m'offre cette option en tant qu'option par dΘfaut.
R: Assurez-vous que vous disposez bien des tout derniers pilotes compatibles DirectX6 pour votre carte 3D.
Consultez le site Web du fabricant de votre carte pour tΘlΘcharger les tout derniers pilotes.
Q: J'ai branchΘ un joystick sur mon ordinateur, mais LiveWire! ne
le reconnaεt pas.
R: VΘrifiez la configuration du joystick sous Windows.
Allez dans ParamΦtres...Panneau de configuration...Contr⌠leurs de jeu et assurez-vous que
votre joystick est correctement configurΘ.
Q: Certaines parties du menu et des objets qui devraient Ωtre transparents dans le jeu
ont l'air ΘparpillΘs (comme tachetΘs).
R: Un petit nombre de cartes 3D plus anciennes ne supporte pas les effets utilisΘs par LiveWire!
pour les objets transparents du jeu. Pour supporter ces cartes, nous avons
optΘ pour la meilleure options possible, en crΘant l'effet que vous voyez α l'Θcran.
Malheureusement, toutes les autres solutions sont limitΘes par le matΘriel 3D que vous
utilisez.
Q: En cours de partie, mes commandes se bloquent et le message
" Tache modifiΘe : exΘcution en arriΦre-plan " apparaεt.
R: Vous avez appuyΘ sur la touche 'Windows' de votre clavier ou sur les
touches 'Alt - Tab'. C'est pourquoi Windows pense que LiveWire n'est plus
la fenΩtre prioritaire sur votre bureau. Utilisez la combinaison 'Alt Tab'
pour restaurer le jeu.
Q: La musique est soit trop forte soit trop basse.
R: RΘglez la balance du CD audio dans la fenΩtre de contr⌠le du volume de Windows.
Q: Je n'entends aucun effet sonore ou, α rΘglage maximum (rΘglages du jeu),
le son est trΦs bas.
R: RΘglez la balance Wave dans la fenΩtre de contr⌠le du volume de Windows.
Assurez-vous que vous disposez bien des tout derniers pilotes compatibles DirectX6 pour votre carte son.
Consultez le site Web du fabricant de la carte pour vous procurer les tout derniers pilotes.
******************************************************************
5. PROBLEMES CONNUS
VIDEO:
Cartes Direct 3D Early Mystique et Millennium
Ces cartes ne supportent pas le code de transparence utilisΘ dans LiveWire!. En consΘquence,
toutes les zones transparentes du jeu (fant⌠mes, fumΘe, etc.) n'ont pas l'air
aussi parfaites que nous l'aurions voulu.

******************************************************************
2. DIRECTX5+
LiveWire! wurde fⁿr DirectX optimiert. Um die Vorteile dieser Optimierung nutzen zu k÷nnen,
solltest Du unbedingt DX6 installieren, wenn Du dazu aufgefordert wirst.
DirectX6 installiert bei Bedarf neue Video- und
Audiotreiber auf Deinen Computer.
Hardware-Beschleunigung
LiveWire! lΣuft in Direct 3D, so da▀ mit den meisten
3D-Videokarten optimale Spielleistung gewΣhrleistet ist.
******************************************************************
3. SPIEL-STARTPROGRAMM
Bei Spielstart wird Dein PC auf den am besten geeigneten Grafikmodus hin untersucht.
Das Startprogramm wΣhlt als Standardeinstellung Direct 3D,
wenn es eine 3D-Beschleunigerkarte erkennt.
Falls keine geeignete 3D-Karte gefunden wird, oder ein Hardware- oder Treiberproblem besteht,
wΣhlt das Startprogramm als Standardeinstellung den Software-Modus.
M÷glicherweise mu▀t Du die neuesten Video-Treiber fⁿr Deine Karte installieren,
um die beste Spielleistung zu erhalten. Diese Treiber erhΣltst Du normalerweise
beim Kartenhersteller oder ⁿber ein Internet-Download.
(Websites mit 3D-Support sind unten angegeben)
Die vom Startprogramm vorgegebenen Optionen kannst Du auch Σndern. Allerdings empfehlen wir,
da▀ Du das Spiel zunΣchst im voreingestellten Standard-Modus spielst, bevor
Du einen anderen Modus wΣhlst.
******************************************************************
4. PROBLEMBEHEBUNG
F: Ich habe eine 3D-Karte in meinem PC installiert, aber das Startprogramm erkennt sie nicht und
bietet nur diese Option als Standardeinstellung an.
A: Vergewissere Dich, da▀ Du die neuesten DirectX6-kompatiblen Treiber fⁿr Deine 3D-Karte hast.
Lade von der Website Deines Kartenherstellers die neuesten Treiber-Updates herunter.
F: Ich habe einen Joystick an meinen Computer angeschlossen, aber LiveWire!
erkennt ihn nicht.
A: ▄berprⁿfe die Joystick- Konfiguration in Windows.
Gehe zu Einstellungen...Systemsteuerung...
Spielsteuerungen, und vergewissere Dich, da▀
Dein Joystick richtig konfiguriert ist.
F: Teile des Menⁿs und manche Objekte, die im Spiel eigentlich transparent sein sollten,
erscheinen statt dessen unsauber (schmierig oder fleckig).
A: Einige Σltere 3D-Karten unterstⁿtzen die Effekte nicht, die LiveWire!
fⁿr die transparenten Objekte im Spiel verwendet. Um solche Karten zu unterstⁿtzen, haben wir die Option
'nΣchstbeste' (next best) eingebaut. Mit dieser Option wird die angezeigte Wirkung erzielt.
Leider sind Probleml÷sungen aufgrund Deiner 3D-Hardware,
eingeschrΣnkt.
F: WΣhrend eines Spiels setzen meine Steuerungen aus, und es erscheint die Nachricht
"Task gewechselt - LΣuft im Hintergrund" (Task Switched - Running in Background).
A: Dann hast Du entweder die 'Windows'-Taste oder 'Alt - Tab' auf der Tastatur gedrⁿckt.
Windows erkennt LiveWire dann nicht mehr als das oberste Fenster auf dem Desktop.
Mit 'Alt - Tab' sollte das Spiel normalerweise
wiederhergestellt werden k÷nnen.
F: Die Musik ist zu laut oder zu leise.
A: Stelle die CD-Audio-LautstΣrke mit der Windows-LautstΣrkesteuerung ein.
F: Ich kann keine Soundeffekte h÷ren, und wenn sie (in den Spieleinstellungen) auf maximale LautstΣrke eingestellt sind,
sind sie kaum zu h÷ren.
A: Stelle die Wave-AusgangslautstΣrke mit der Windows- LautstΣrkesteuerung ein.
Vergewissere Dich, da▀ Du die aktuellsten DirectX6-kompatiblen Treiber fⁿr Deine Soundkarte hast.

******************************************************************
1. REQUISITI DI SISTEMA
Modalitα software (320 x 200 65536 colori o 640x480x65536 estesa)
- Processore Intel Pentium a 133 MHz Intel o compatibile
- 16 MB di RAM
- Windows 95/98
- Scheda grafica compatibile con DirectX5+ con 2 MB di RAM
- 20 MB disponibili sul disco rigido
- Scheda audio compatibile con DirectX5+
- CD-ROM a velocitα 4 x
Modalitα di accelerazione hardware (640x480 colori a 16bit)
- Processore Intel Pentium a 133MHz o compatibile
- 16 MB di RAM
- Windows 95/98
- Scheda grafica D3D compatibile con DirectX5+ con 4 MB di RAM (le prestazioni di D3D
variano da una scheda all'altra)
- 20 MB di spazio disponibile sul disco rigido
- Scheda audio compatibile con DirectX5+
- CD-ROM a velocitα 4 x
******************************************************************
2. DIRECTX5+
LiveWire! Φ stato ottimizzato per DirectX: per trarne il massimo vantaggio,
ti consigliamo vivamente di installare DirectX6 quando ti viene richiesto.
DirectX6 installerα nuovi driver video e audio nel sistema dove
Φ necessario.
Accelerazione hardware
LiveWire! viene eseguito in Direct 3D, in questo modo avrai le migliori prestazioni di gioco
con la maggior parte delle schede video 3D.
******************************************************************
3. UTILIT└ DI AVVIO DEL GIOCO
All'avvio del gioco, viene controllato l'hardware del PC, in modo da individuare
la modalitα grafica migliore per l'esecuzione. Se all'avvio viene individuata una scheda di accelerazione 3D,
la modalitα predefinita sarα Direct 3D.
Se non viene individuata una scheda 3D adeguata o se vengono riscontrati problemi relativi all'hardware o al driver,
l'impostazione predefinita all'avvio sarα la Modalitα software.
Potrebbe essere necessario installare i driver video pi∙ recenti per la tua scheda in modo da
ottenere le migliori prestazioni di gioco. Questi driver normalmente possono
essere richiesti al fabbricante della scheda o si possono scaricare da
Internet (vedi pi∙ avanti SITI INTERNET PER IL SUPPORTO DELLE SCHEDE 3D).
╚ possibile ignorare le impostazioni selezionate dall'utilitα di avvio, ma consigliamo di
eseguire il gioco nella modalitα predefinita prevista all'avvio prima
di scegliere una modalitα alternativa.
******************************************************************
4. RISOLUZIONE DEI PROBLEMI
Q: So di avere una scheda 3D installata, ma l'utilitα di avvio non la rileva
e mi offre quell'opzione come impostazione predefinita.
A: Assicurati di avere i driver compatibili con DirectX6 pi∙ recenti per la scheda 3D.
Cerca i driver pi∙ recenti nel sito Internet del fabbricante.
Q: Il joystick Φ connesso al computer, ma LiveWire! non
lo riconosce.
A: Controlla la configurazione del joystick in Windows.
Scegli Impostazioni...Pannello di controllo...Periferiche di gioco e controlla che
il joystick sia configurato correttamente.
Q: Parti del menu e oggetti che dovrebbero essere trasparenti all'interno del gioco
hanno un aspetto retinato (con imperfezioni o puntini).
A: Una minima parte delle schede 3D pi∙ vecchie non supporta gli effetti
utilizzati in LiveWire! per gli oggetti trasparenti del gioco. Per ottenere la compatibilitα con queste schede abbiamo
dovuto adottare la soluzione che produce l'effetto che vedi.
Purtroppo la possibilitα di trovare altre soluzioni Φ stata limitata
dall'hardware 3D che utilizzi.
Q: Durante una partita i controlli smettono di funzionare e compare il messaggio:
"Passaggio di task - Esecuzione in background".
A: Hai premuto il tasto 'Windows' sulla tastiera o la combinazione di
tasti 'Alt - Tab'. Di conseguenza Windows crede che LiveWire non sia pi∙
la finestra superiore del desktop. Utilizzando la combinazione di tasti 'Alt Tab'
il gioco dovrebbe essere ripristinato.
Q: La musica Φ troppo alta o troppo bassa.
A: Regola l'audio del CD utilizzando i controlli del volume di Windows.
Q: Non si sentono gli effetti sonori oppure al volume massimo (nelle impostazioni del gioco)
l'audio Φ molto basso.
A: Regola il bilanciamento Wave utilizzando i Controlli del volume di Windows.
Assicurati di avere i driver compatibili con DirectX6 pi∙ recenti per la tua scheda audio.
Cerca i driver pi∙ recenti nel sito Internet del fabbricante.
******************************************************************
5. PROBLEMI NOTI
VIDEO:
Prime schede Mystique e Millennium Direct 3D
Queste non supportano il codice della trasparenza utilizzato in LiveWire!. Di conseguenza
tutte le aree trasparenti del gioco (fantasmi, fumo, ecc.) non vengono
rappresentate con efficacia .
RETE:
Possible problematico Windows98 generico drivers.

******************************************************************
2. DIRECTX5+
LiveWire! se ha optimizado para DirectX. Para obtener el mßximo provecho de esta
optimizaci≤n, se recomienda instalar DirecX6 cuando lo indique el programa.
DirectX6 instalarß nuevos controladores de sonido y vφdeo en el sistema cuando
sea apropiado.
Aceleraci≤n por hardware
LiveWire! se ejecuta en Direct 3D, con lo que se asegura que el juego ofrece el mejor
rendimiento en la gama mßs amplia de tarjetas de vφdeo 3D.
******************************************************************
3. INICIADOR DEL JUEGO
Al iniciarse, el juego examina el hardware disponible en el PC y establece
cußl es el mejor modo de grßficos en el que puede ejecutarse. El iniciador utilizarß Direct 3D de forma predeterminada
si detecta una tarjeta aceleradora 3D.
Si Θste no detecta una tarjeta 3D o hay alg·n problema con el hardware y/o los controladores, el
iniciador utilizarß el modo de software de forma predeterminada.
Puede que tenga que instalar los controladores de vφdeo mßs recientes especφficamente para su tarjeta si desea
obtener el mayor rendimiento del juego. ╔stos se pueden obtener por lo general
del fabricante de su tarjeta o de un sitio web en
Internet. (Consulte el apartado SITIOS SOBRE SOPORTE PARA TARJETAS 3D mßs adelante.)
Se pueden anular las opciones que selecciona el iniciador, aunque se recomienda
utilizar el juego en el modo predeterminado en que se presenta inicialmente antes de
seleccionar un modo alternativo.
******************************************************************
4. SOLUCI╙N DE PROBLEMAS
P: Tengo instalada una tarjeta 3D, pero el iniciador no la reconoce
ni me ofrece la opci≤n de esa tarjeta de forma predeterminada.
R: Compruebe que dispone de los controladores compatibles con DirectX6 mßs recientes para su tarjeta 3D.
Visite el sitio Web del fabricante de su tarjeta para obtener los controladores mßs recientes.
P: Tengo un joystick conectado a mi ordenador, pero LiveWire! no
lo reconoce.
R: Compruebe la configuraci≤n del joystick en Windows.
Vaya a Configuraci≤n...Panel de control...Joystick y aseg·rese de
que su joystick estß configurado correctamente.
P: Hay partes del men· y objetos que deberφan ser transparentes dentro del juego que
aparecen con motitas o puntos.
R: Algunas de las tarjetas 3D mßs antiguas no admiten los efectos que LiveWire!
utiliza para los objetos transparentes del juego. Para aceptar estas tarjetas, hemos
empleado la mejor alternativa posible, que genera el efecto que estß viendo.
Lamentablemente, cualquier otra soluci≤n empleada se verß limitada por el hardware de 3D
que usted estΘ utilizando.
P: Durante el desarrollo de la partida, los controles dejan de funcionar y aparece el mensaje:
"Task Switched - Running in Background" (Cambio de tarea. Ejecutßndose en segundo plano).
R: Ha pulsado la tecla 'Windows' del teclado, o bien la
combinaci≤n de teclas 'Alt - Tab'. Como consecuencia, Windows piensa que LiveWire ya no es
la ventana superior del escritorio. En estos casos, la secuencia 'Alt Tab',
debe restaurar el juego.
P: La m·sica estß demasiado alta o baja.
R: Ajuste el sonido del CD con el control de volumen de Windows.
P: Los efectos de sonido no se oyen o, cuando el volumen estß al mßximo (en la configuraci≤n del juego),
el sonido es muy bajo.
R: Ajuste el balance de Onda con el control de volumen de Windows.
Aseg·rese de que dispone de los controladores compatibles con DirectX6 mßs recientes para su tarjeta de sonido.
Visite el sitio Web del fabricante de su tarjeta para obtener los controladores mßs recientes.
