******************************************************************

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.

2. DIRECTX5+

LiveWire! a t optimis pour DirectX ; afin de profiter de cette 
optimisation, nous vous recommandons d'installer DirecX6 lorsqu'on vous l'indique. 
DirectX6 installera les nouveaux pilotes audio et vido sur votre systme  l'endroit 
appropri. 

Acclration matrielle

LiveWire! fonctionne sous Direct 3D ; ceci assure que le jeu fournit la meilleure 
performance possible sur une gamme tendue de cartes vido.

******************************************************************

3. LANCEMENT DU JEU

Lorsque le jeu commence, il inspecte le matriel quipant votre PC et recherche 
Le meilleur mode graphique  excuter. Le programme de lancement choisira Direct 3D par dfaut 
s'il dtecte une carte acclratrice 3D.

Si aucune carte 3D n'est dtecte ou qu'il y a un problme de matriel/pilote, le 
programme de lancement se connectera par dfaut sur le mode logiciel.

Vous devrez peut-tre installer les tout derniers pilotes vido pour votre carte afin de 
vous assurer la meilleure performance possible. Vous pouvez en gnral 
vous procurer ces pilotes auprs du fabricant de votre carte ou les tlcharger  partir de 
l'Internet. (voir SITES D'ASSISTANCE DE CARTES 3D, plus bas)

Il est possible d'annuler les options choisies par le programme de lancement, mais nous vous conseillons 
de jouer avec le mode initialement choisi avant de 
slectionner des modes de jeu diffrents.

******************************************************************

4. DEPANNAGE

Q: Je sais que mon PC est quip d'une carte 3D, mais le programme de lancement ne la dtecte pas 
   et m'offre cette option en tant qu'option par dfaut.

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 tlcharger les tout derniers pilotes.

Q: J'ai branch un joystick sur mon ordinateur, mais LiveWire! ne 
   le reconnat pas.

R: Vrifiez la configuration du joystick sous Windows.  
   Allez dans Paramtres...Panneau de configuration...Contrleurs de jeu et assurez-vous que 
   votre joystick est correctement configur.

Q: Certaines parties du menu et des objets qui devraient tre transparents dans le jeu 
   ont l'air parpills (comme tachets). 

R: Un petit nombre de cartes 3D plus anciennes ne supporte pas les effets utiliss par LiveWire! 
   pour les objets transparents du jeu. Pour supporter ces cartes, nous avons 
   opt pour la meilleure options possible, en crant l'effet que vous voyez   l'cran. 
   Malheureusement, toutes les autres solutions sont limites par le matriel 3D que vous 
   utilisez.

Q: En cours de partie, mes commandes se bloquent et le message 
   " Tache modifie : excution en arrire-plan " apparat. 

R: Vous avez appuy sur la touche 'Windows' de votre clavier ou sur les 
   touches 'Alt - Tab'. C'est pourquoi Windows pense que LiveWire n'est plus 
   la fentre prioritaire sur votre bureau. Utilisez la combinaison 'Alt Tab'  
   pour restaurer le jeu.

Q: La musique est soit trop forte soit trop basse.

R: Rglez la balance du CD audio dans la fentre de contrle du volume de Windows.

Q: Je n'entends aucun effet sonore ou,  rglage maximum (rglages du jeu), 
   le son est trs bas.

R: Rglez la balance Wave dans la fentre de contrle 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.

******************************************************************

2. DIRECTX5+

LiveWire! wurde fr DirectX optimiert. Um die Vorteile dieser Optimierung nutzen zu knnen,  
solltest Du unbedingt DX6 installieren, wenn Du dazu aufgefordert wirst. 
DirectX6 installiert bei Bedarf neue Video- und 
Audiotreiber auf Deinen Computer.

Hardware-Beschleunigung

LiveWire! luft in Direct 3D, so da mit den meisten  
3D-Videokarten optimale Spielleistung gewhrleistet ist.

******************************************************************

3. SPIEL-STARTPROGRAMM

Bei Spielstart wird Dein PC auf den am besten geeigneten Grafikmodus hin untersucht. 
Das Startprogramm whlt als Standardeinstellung Direct 3D, 
wenn es eine 3D-Beschleunigerkarte erkennt.

Falls keine geeignete 3D-Karte gefunden wird, oder ein Hardware- oder Treiberproblem besteht, 
whlt das Startprogramm als Standardeinstellung den Software-Modus.

Mglicherweise mut Du die neuesten Video-Treiber fr Deine Karte installieren, 
um die beste Spielleistung zu erhalten. Diese Treiber erhltst Du normalerweise 
beim Kartenhersteller oder ber ein Internet-Download. 
(Websites mit 3D-Support sind unten angegeben)

Die vom Startprogramm vorgegebenen Optionen kannst Du auch ndern. Allerdings empfehlen wir,
da Du das Spiel zunchst im voreingestellten Standard-Modus  spielst, bevor 
Du einen anderen Modus whlst.  

******************************************************************

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 fr 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: berprfe die Joystick- Konfiguration in Windows.  
   Gehe zu  Einstellungen...Systemsteuerung...
   Spielsteuerungen, und vergewissere Dich, da 
   Dein Joystick richtig konfiguriert ist.

F: Teile des Mens und manche Objekte, die im Spiel eigentlich transparent sein sollten,  
   erscheinen statt dessen unsauber (schmierig oder fleckig). 

A: Einige ltere 3D-Karten untersttzen die Effekte nicht, die LiveWire!
   fr die transparenten Objekte im Spiel verwendet. Um solche Karten zu untersttzen, haben wir die Option  
   'nchstbeste' (next best) eingebaut. Mit dieser Option wird die angezeigte Wirkung erzielt.
   Leider sind Problemlsungen aufgrund Deiner 3D-Hardware, 
   eingeschrnkt.

F: Whrend eines Spiels setzen meine Steuerungen aus, und es erscheint die Nachricht 
   "Task gewechselt - Luft im Hintergrund" (Task Switched - Running in Background). 

A: Dann hast Du entweder die 'Windows'-Taste oder 'Alt - Tab' auf der Tastatur gedrckt.
   Windows erkennt LiveWire dann nicht mehr als das oberste Fenster auf dem Desktop. 
   Mit 'Alt - Tab' sollte das Spiel normalerweise 
   wiederhergestellt werden knnen.

F: Die Musik ist zu laut oder zu leise.

A: Stelle die CD-Audio-Lautstrke mit der Windows-Lautstrkesteuerung ein.

F: Ich kann keine Soundeffekte hren, und wenn sie (in den Spieleinstellungen) auf maximale Lautstrke eingestellt sind, 
   sind sie kaum zu hren.

A: Stelle die Wave-Ausgangslautstrke mit der  Windows- Lautstrkesteuerung ein. 
   Vergewissere Dich, da Du die aktuellsten DirectX6-kompatiblen Treiber fr Deine Soundkarte hast.  
   Lade von der Website Deines Kartenherstellers die neuesten Treiber-Updates herunter. 
   


******************************************************************

5. BEKANNTE PROBLEME

FERNSEHEN:
 Frhe Mystique & Millennium Direct- 3D-Karten
 Diese Karten untersttzen den  Tranparenz-Code von LiveWire! nicht. Daher werden die transparenten Objekte 
 im Spiel (wie z.B. Gespenster oder Rauch) nicht optimal dargestellt.

  variano da una scheda all'altra)
- 20 MB di spazio disponibile sul disco rigido
- Scheda audio compatibile con DirectX5+
- CD-ROM a velocit 4 x 
      
******************************************************************

2. DIRECTX5+

LiveWire!  stato ottimizzato per DirectX: per trarne il massimo vantaggio,
ti consigliamo vivamente di installare DirectX6 quando ti viene richiesto. 
DirectX6 installer nuovi driver video e audio nel sistema dove 
 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 modalit grafica migliore per l'esecuzione. Se all'avvio viene individuata una scheda di accelerazione 3D,
la modalit predefinita sar 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 sar la Modalit 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'utilit di avvio, ma consigliamo di 
eseguire il gioco nella modalit predefinita prevista all'avvio prima 
di scegliere una modalit alternativa.

******************************************************************

4. RISOLUZIONE DEI PROBLEMI

Q: So di avere una scheda 3D installata, ma l'utilit 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  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 compatibilit con queste schede abbiamo 
   dovuto adottare la soluzione che produce l'effetto che vedi. 
   Purtroppo la possibilit di trovare altre soluzioni  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  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  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.

3. INICIADOR DEL JUEGO

Al iniciarse, el juego examina el hardware disponible en el PC y establece 
cul es el mejor modo de grficos en el que puede ejecutarse. El iniciador utilizar Direct 3D de forma predeterminada
si detecta una tarjeta aceleradora 3D.

Si ste no detecta una tarjeta 3D o hay algn problema con el hardware y/o los controladores, el 
iniciador utilizar el modo de software de forma predeterminada.

Puede que tenga que instalar los controladores de vdeo ms recientes especficamente para su tarjeta si desea  
obtener el mayor rendimiento del juego. stos se pueden obtener por lo general 
del fabricante de su tarjeta o de un sitio web en 
Internet. (Consulte el apartado SITIOS SOBRE  SOPORTE PARA TARJETAS 3D ms adelante.)

Se pueden anular las opciones que selecciona el iniciador, aunque se recomienda 
utilizar el juego en el modo predeterminado en que se presenta inicialmente antes de 
seleccionar un modo alternativo.

******************************************************************

4. SOLUCIN DE PROBLEMAS

P: Tengo instalada una tarjeta 3D, pero el iniciador no la reconoce  
ni me ofrece la opcin de esa tarjeta de forma predeterminada.

R: Compruebe que dispone de los controladores compatibles con DirectX6 ms recientes para su tarjeta 3D. 
Visite el sitio Web del fabricante de su tarjeta para obtener los controladores ms recientes.

P: Tengo un joystick conectado a mi ordenador, pero LiveWire! no 
lo reconoce.

R: Compruebe la configuracin del joystick en Windows.  
Vaya a Configuracin...Panel de control...Joystick y asegrese de 
que su joystick est configurado correctamente.

P: Hay partes del men y objetos que deberan ser transparentes dentro del juego que 
aparecen con motitas o puntos. 

R: Algunas de las tarjetas 3D ms antiguas no admiten los efectos que LiveWire! 
utiliza para los objetos transparentes del juego. Para aceptar estas tarjetas, hemos 
empleado la mejor alternativa posible, que genera el efecto que est viendo. 
Lamentablemente, cualquier otra solucin empleada se ver limitada por el hardware de 3D 
que usted est utilizando.

P: Durante el desarrollo de la partida, los controles dejan de funcionar y aparece el mensaje: 
"Task Switched - Running in Background" (Cambio de tarea. Ejecutndose en segundo plano). 

R: Ha pulsado la tecla 'Windows' del teclado, o bien la 
combinacin de teclas 'Alt - Tab'. Como consecuencia, Windows piensa que LiveWire ya no es 
la ventana superior del escritorio. En estos casos, la secuencia 'Alt Tab', 
debe restaurar el juego.

P: La msica est demasiado alta o baja.

R: Ajuste el sonido del CD con el control de volumen de Windows.

P: Los efectos de sonido no se oyen o, cuando el volumen est al mximo (en la configuracin del juego), 
el sonido es muy bajo.
