-------------------------
VI. Known Issues
-------------------------
- If you own a GeForce video card and are experiencing discolorations and flashing issues in the water reflection, download and install the latest video drivers for your video card. Upgrading your drivers will also provide you with a significant performance increase.
- Be careful when using anti-aliasing effects for your specific video card. Some video cards will encounter serious performance issues with these settings turned on.
- In Software Rendering, sometimes the buttons will remain orange following selection.
- All Matrox G400 - 550 model video cards will only support Software Rendering Mode.
- Dynamic cameras and camera controls are unavailable in Software Rendering Mode.
- Users of Kyro II Chipset Video cards (Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 or VideoLogic Vivid!XS for example) do not render the hole overview map.
- Changing to 32-bit color will remove banding in the skies at a cost of mild performance.
- If your PC will run in 3D Hardware mode and you choose to run in Software Rendering mode, then return to 3D Hardware mode, you will have to reset your camera options
