Tuning the game for your computer

Note that this game makes heavy use of the graphics capabilities of your system. There is a trade-off between the power of your graphics card and that of your computer; if the CPU is more powerful, the game will perform with an older graphics card, and vice versa. The same is true of the sound card. If you are experiencing choppiness or slowdown you should experiment with these settings too.

Video Options Menu

It is best to simply experiment with different settings to see what makes the game smoothest and most visually pleasing. We have supplied an "Overall Detail level" menu item, which will change the other options to some appropriate defaults. On some configurations some options will be restricted or not available at all. For example, the "extra graphical features" will only be selectable on the very latest graphics hardware. If you have a slower main processor (approaching 700 Mhz), the most important option will be "Geometry detail" - you should set this to "low". If you have a slower or older graphics card, the most important option will probably be "Screen Mode" - you should set that to one of the lower screen resolutions, such as 640 x 480.

Sound Options

Many sound cards have problems with certain settings, particularly the higher quality 3D sound. If you are experiencing problems with the sound, try setting "3D sound hardware acceleration" to "No" and "3D sound quality" to "Low (left / right panning)".
