- 1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Software Mode (320 x 200 or 640x480x65536 stretched High Colour)
-
- - Intel Pentium 133Mhz CPU or equivalent
- - 16MB RAM
- - Windows 95/98
- - DirectX 5+ supported Graphics Card with 2Mb RAM
- - 20MB hard drive space
- - DirectX 5+ supported soundcard
- - 4 x Speed CD-ROM
-

- 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.
-

-
- 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

-
- 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.
- Lade von der Website Deines Kartenherstellers die neuesten Treiber-Updates herunter.

-
- ******************************************************************
-
- 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.
