================================== Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six DEMO Readme ================================== ========================= From the Development Team ========================= This is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Demo! Please be sure to read this text file, as it contains important information regarding gameplay in Rainbow Six. Also, customer support and other useful contact information is included. ============ Known Issues ============ Rainbow Six does not support the Windows key, the Alt-Tab key, and other keyboard shortcuts for switching applications. Saving or deleting a plan file will fail if the file is write-protected. Holding down an action key or a mouse button at the same time you use ESC to call up the quick menu from the 3-D action interface may cause control problems when you re-enter the action interface. Clicking an action key or a mouse button while the action interface is loading may cause control problems when you enter the action interface. ============= General Notes ============= If you experience trouble with the chase camera in third-person mode, switch to first-person mode and back to clear it. Key bindings are stored in the file sherman.kmp. This file may be copied and replaced if you want to swap out multiple sets of bindings. If you have trouble running Rainbow Six, save a copy of the file sherman.log. This file may help tech support diagnose the problem. If you have a Microsoft Intellipoint mouse and you want to assign an action key to the center wheel button, be sure that the wheel's button assignment is set to "default". If Rainbow Six is running slowly on your system, several options may improve performance: * Turn off fog in the video options. * Turn off music in the sound options. * Turn off the Max Sounds option. This limits the number of effects played simultaneously. * Switch to a lower screen resolution. * While in the 3-D action phase, use the minus key to shrink the 3-D portion of the screen. ======== AI Notes ======== Computer-controlled teams maintain an internal priority list to determine who will go first if there is a conflict. For instance, if you make a plan that sends the blue and red teams through a door simultaneously, the red team will wait for the blue team to move before proceeding. Occasionally a team may think its way is blocked by a higher priority team even when it isn't. This can be avoided by increasing the distance between the paths the two teams take. If you take personal command of a computer-controlled team and lead them far off their planned path, they may not be able to return to their plan when you switch out of them. If this happens, take command again and steer them back onto their path. While your computer-controlled teams will do their best to carry out your orders, there are some situations that they will not handle gracefully: Sending a team down a ladder while another team is climbing up the same ladder, sending two teams in opposite directions through the same door at the same time, crowding multiple teams into small rooms, etc. As a general rule, if a plan would cause chaos and confusion for the team in the real world, it will do so in the game. =========== Video Notes =========== Rainbow Six requires at least 2 megabytes of texture memory to run properly with hardware acceleration. On cards with less memory the textures will be reduced to fit the available space. This may result in an unacceptable degradation of image quality. You can force the game to render in software mode (which will use full resolution textures) by setting the Force Software flag in the video options. On some video cards (including the Voodoo and Voodoo 2) switching between hardware and software rendering in the game may cause transparency problems. This problem can be fixed by exiting and reentering the game. On some video cards, in some resolutions, a line of erroneous pixels may appear on the right side of the rendering window. These pixels only appear in software mode and can be eliminated by switching resolution. For a complete list of supported hardware cards, please check our website at http://www.redstorm.com. ====================== Hardware Compatibility ====================== The game runs on AMD and Cyrix processors. ============================ Customer Support Information ============================ Please make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements before contacting us as our Support representatives can not help customers whose computers do not meet the minimum requirements.
