1.3 STEAM CLIENT INSTALLATION AND ACCOUNT CREATION

The Homefront installer will check your computer for an existing installation of the Steam Client. If it detects that no Steam Client is installed, it will automatically begin an installation of the Client. If it detects an older version of the Steam Client the installer will update that version to the most current.

Following the Steam Client installation and/or update, the installer will prompt you for your Steam Account login information. If you do not already have a Steam Account, you will create an account at this time.

For further information on Steam, please see their Support page at https://support.steampowered.com/ or their New Users page at https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...7141-OPGX-5121

1.4 DIRECTX® DETECTION AND INSTALLATION

The Homefront installer will check your computer for the currently installed version of DirectX®. If it detects an older version of DirectX®, it will install DirectX® 9.0c and 10 automatically. The installation of DirectX® will not harm your DirectX® configuration. Homefront requires DirectX® to install and play.

================================================== ===================
2) TROUBLESHOOTING
================================================== ===================

2.1 INSTALLER/PATCH ISSUES

A. Interference from Anti-Virus Programs
It is recommended that any anti-virus programs be disabled when attempting to install Homefront. Anti-virus software can often interfere and corrupt the installation process of new software.

B. Modifications
Any modifications to Homefront may result in the inability to patch successfully. Before applying any modifications we suggest backing up the affected files and replacing them before applying any patch. Not doing so may result in the need to re-install the game.

C. Install
The installation of the game is made up of two parts. The first installer installs the game manual and third party installers. The second installer utilizes the Steam installer to install the game. If the install process is interrupted, additional steps may be required to successfully install the game and its contents. The install process consists of the following.

1. Installation of the Game Manual and miscellaneous files.
2. Installation of DirectX.
3. Installation of Steam if not already present.
4. Connection to Steam for authentication, updates, and additional installs if necessary.
5. Installation of the game through Steam.

D. Uninstall
Uninstalling Homefront is done through Steam via the Delete Local Content option. Note that this will only uninstall the game - any additional third party software will need to be removed via the Add/Remove feature (Windows XP) or the Programs and Features panel (Vista & Windows 7).

2.2 VIDEO ISSUES

A. Latest drivers required
For best performance and video quality, please make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card when running Homefront. If you have an ATI or NVIDIA video card, you can find drivers on their websites.

http://ati.amd.com/
Driver: Catalyst 10.12 or newer

http://www.nvidia.com/
Driver: ForceWare Graphics Driver Version 266.58 or newer

Preliminary tests with out-of-date ATI drivers have shown some graphic corruption while playing Homefront. Upgrading to the latest ATI drivers can solve the problem for most users.

Preliminary tests with out-of-date NVIDIA drivers have shown lower performance and missing objects. Upgrading to the latest NVIDIA drivers can solve the problem for most users.

2.3 SOUND ISSUES

A. Latest drivers required
Please make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card when running Homefront.

B. (This applies to XP only) The sound stutters while playing
Make sure you have the latest drivers for your sound card. If stuttering persists, try reducing Hardware Acceleration. From your Windows® desktop, click Start, then Run, type "dxdiag", then press Enter. This brings up the "DirectX® Diagnostic Tool". Click the Sound tab and try reducing the "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level" slider.

C. Headphones
Plugging in headphones while the game is running does not work. Please be sure to start the game with headphones plugged in as the game may not detect headphones plugged in after the game has started.

2.4 OPERATING SYSTEM-SPECIFIC ISSUES

A. Administrator Privileges
You must have Administrator privileges to properly install the game on Windows® XP and Vista® and Windows 7®. You do not, however, require Administrator privileges to play the game after it has been installed. For information on how to change your user settings to obtain Administrator privileges, please refer to your Windows® documentation, or click the Start button and select "Help and Support".
