================================================== ==============================


2.1. Display/Performance Settings

The Graphical Settings can directly impact the memory usage of the game. If your computer lacks RAM memory, these settings should be lowered down accordingly.

There are some video card drivers that may cause flickering and disappearing objects. It is important to make sure the latest available drivers are installed. Forcing the number of pre-rendered frames to one (1) in the driver settings can also possibly correct this problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4. Hints

• It is _not_ advisable to install the game into the Windows folder (usually C:\Windows), a subfolder of the Windows folder, nor the root of the system drive (usually C:\).
• It is recommended to close all other running programs before installing the game, to reduce the risk of software conflicts.
• If using Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or nForce Audio, you may experience sound anomalies. To work around the problem, reduce the Hardware acceleration slider to 'Basic' in the Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->Audio tab->Advanced->Performance tab.
• If you experience graphical corruption, make sure your graphics driver's control panel is _not_ configured to override application settings.
