- Grand Theft Auto - Installation Problems
-
- 24 Bit Version
- --------------
- If your computer starts up in the 24 bit version of the game with fuzzy
- looking graphics, try re-selecting the screen mode from the F11 menu. This
- should cure this problem.
-
- High colour GTA uses a built-in version of the "univbe" display driver to
- provide its multitude of 15, 16 and 32-bit display modes. If your video card
- is not recognised by the univbe check, or if you change your video card and
- the check does not update to it, try running uvconfig.exe in the gtados
- directory. If that doesn't work, try running 24-bit GTA by typing
- "gta24 -nounivbe" in the gtados directory. This will cause it to skip univbe
- and use your video card's native drivers instead. Alternatively, get hold of
- thelatest version of univbe from SciTech Software, and run it as a TSR before
- running GTA.
-
- Windows Drivers ( Grand Theft Auto DirectX )
- ---------------
- GTA DirectX will only work correctly if you have the latest Windows 95 Direct
- X Microsoft-certified driver for your video card. Your video card vendor
- should be able to supply this.
-
- Some of the latest versions of drivers will allow the use of
- High colour / Low resolution screen modes (recommended). An example of this
- is the Matrox Millenium.
-
- Gravis Ultrasound
- -----------------
-
- The DOS version of GTA, run under Windows95, will not play any
- sound effects with an Ultrasound, UNLESS you shut down windows into MS-DOS
- mode, or change the PIF from DOS-Box to MS-DOS mode.
-
- DOS Version - CD Sound
- ----------------------
- To allow CD audio to play on the DOS version of GTA, when run under a
- bootable version of DOS, make sure that you have the MSCDEX driver loaded.
- On a Windows 95 machine, if you play the DOS version through Windows, or
- in a DOS box, you should get CD audio.
-
- Sidewinder Control Pad - In DOS GTA
- -----------------------------------
- The Microsoft Sidewinder pad is not compatible with DOS GTA. However, it
- can be used with Windows (DirectX) GTA.
-
- 3DFX version
- ------------
- 3DFX GTA is compatible with Voodoo 3DFX cards ( e.g. Diamond Monster,
- Orchid Righteous ) However, it is not currently compatible with the latest
- Rush 3DFX cards ( e.g. Hercules Stingray ). This willhopefully be corrected
- soon, and a patch should be available on the DMA or BMG web site.
-
- Note that we recommend 32MB of RAM to run 3DFX GTA.
-
- EMM386 (DOS)
- ------------
- In DOS 6.22, If you have the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS,
- play GTA, quit then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reset the machine, you may find
- that the keyboard does not respond any more.
-
- Using DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE instead should solve this problem.
