2. Known Issues
################################################## ##############################

2.1. Installing Graphics and Motherboard Drivers

If you experience any graphical problems, please install the latest video and motherboard drivers available for your Graphics Card. Links to the most popular Graphics Card and motherboard manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Installing Sound Drivers

If you experience any sound problems, please install the latest sound drivers available for your sound card. Links to the most popular sound card manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. Installing DirectX

Driver San Francisco requires DirectX runtime DLLs from June 2011 or later to run properly. To get the latest version of DirectX, please visit: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx


DirectX is also provided on the install disc in the folder Support\DirectX.

If you receive an error message about missing DLL files, reinstall DirectX from the install disc to correct the problem.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4. Bugs and Comments

* 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 an AMD dual-core processor, you may experience fast flickering of the in-game menu items. To work around this problem, install the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer available on the AMD web site (see section 3.2).

* If you experience graphical corruption, make sure your graphics driver's control panel is _not_ configured to override application settings.
