- >> 3. TROUBLESHOOTING <<
- ========================
-
- Make sure the latest drivers are installed for your graphics card, sound
- card and any other system devices. These can be downloaded from the chip
- manufacturer's websites.
-
- Make sure DirectX 6.1 or later is installed on your system.
- Make sure DirectX Media 6.0a or later is installed on your system.
- Make sure Intel Indeo drivers are installed on your system.
- DirectX 7.0, DirectX Media 6.0a and Intel Indeo drivers can all be found
- on the Le Mans 24 hours CD.
-
- If you are using an audio cd with the game then make sure all applications
- which can auto play audio cd's are disabled.
-
- If you are using an Interact V4 Force Feedback Steering Wheel the game may
- start to run slowly. If so, close down any Interact helper applications on
- the system tray to solve this problem.
-
- If you change the hardware on your system then you must delete the following
- file for the game to function correctly:
-
- "<Lemans_Install_Directory>\bin\lemans.ini"
-
- If you have a virus checker on your system then disable it before running
- the game. If the game files are being checked for viruses when opened then
- the game will stop now and again, especially with commentary.
-
- Make sure your desktop settings are a minimum of 16bit colour. The game will
- not run if a colour depth less than this is selected.
-
-
- ===================
- >> 4. KNOWN BUGS <<
- ===================
-
- You will experience alpha blending problems on the S3 Savage 3 and 4 video
- cards. This will manifest itself as solid patches of white on screen.
-
- On some older ISA soundcards you may experience sound jumping problems.
-
