    VI. KNOWN ISSUES

    I. INSTALLING THE GAME:


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

    NOTE: Avoid minimising the installer during install.

    Insert Disc 1 into your CD/DVD drive. If you have Autorun enabled the game should
    start installing immediately. If Autorun is disabled, browse to the CD and double-
    click on 'setup.exe'.
    You will be prompted for your choice of language for the installer program - select
    it from the drop-down list.
    You will then be asked to enter the directory you wish to install the game to.
    After a few minutes you will then be asked to insert Disc 2 to continue the
    install. Swap Disc 1 for Disc 2 and select 'OK'.

    II. RUNNING THE GAME:


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

    After you install "Project IGI2: Covert Strike" there will be an "IGI 2" shortcut
    on your desktop. Double-click this to start the game.
    Alternatively you can start the game by going to: Start Menu -> Programs ->
    Codemasters -> IGI 2 -> Play IGI 2.

    III. STARTING AND JOINING A MULTIPLAYER GAME:


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

    1. Joining a Multiplayer game:


    ------------------------------

    - Start the game and select 'Multiplayer'.


    - Then choose 'Join Game' and click on 'SEARCH LAN' to find all available games on
    a LAN or 'SEARCH INTERNET' to find all available servers online. For the latter
    option you need to be already connected to the internet.
    - On this screen you can enter a name for yourself and an IP address of a server if
    you know one.
    - Choose the game you wish to join, using the option at the top of the list to sort
    by number of players, ping and name, and then click 'JOIN'.
    - The game will then load to the 'Select Team' screen.

    2. Starting a Multiplayer game:


    -------------------------------

    - Start the game and select 'Multiplayer'. Then choose 'Start Server'.
    - Enter your name and the server name at the top of the screen.
    - Click on 'Map List' to choose the map(s) you wish to play, selecting 'OK' when
    you're finished.
    - You can also set the maximum number of players you wish to allow on the server,
    the number of spectators, the port number, whether weapons dropped by enemies will
    remain to be picked up, whether healthpacks are allowed, or whether you wish to
    start this game as a dedicated server. NOTE: if you choose this final option you
    will not be able to play the game on this PC. See below for information on
    Dedicated Servers.
    - Click 'OK' to start the game.
    - The game will then load to the 'Select Team' screen.

    3. Setting up a dedicated server for a Multiplayer game:


    --------------------------------------------------------

    - Create a shortcut to 'igi2.exe', right-click on it and select 'Properties' and


    add 'window quiet serverdedicated port26001 level02' after '...igi2.exe' in the
    'Target:' box. Use this shortcut to run a dedicated server. It will display as a
    black window which means the server is running. The list of multiplayer maps is:

    level01 = Redstone
    level02 = Forestraid
    level03 = Sandstorm
    level04 = Timberland
    level05 = Chinese Temple

    The available port numbers are port26001 -> port26014

    V. PERFORMANCE TWEAKS:
    ===========================

    If you are having problems getting IGI2 to run well on your machine, please read
    on.

    In the graphics settings window, there are quite a few options. The list below is
    split into three sections, processor, GFX card and RAM. Whichever area of your
    system is the lowest / oldest out of these, try the options below for that part of
    your hardware. Don't do them all at once, tune them one at a time.

    Note that resolution changes make very little difference at all for IGI2 unless you
    have a really old graphics card.

    ----------------------------------

    Processor - if your processor is 1GHz or below, make some changes to these


    settings:

    1. Terain detail slider - this is very expensive. Note dropping the terrain slider
    will cause the terrain to morph (also, note that you can increase this to max to
    cure terrain warping if you have a very good machine (2GHz or above)).

    2. All these are equally important - Lens Flares, Bullet Decals, Wind on Trees.
    Turn them off 1 by 1, keeping the one you prefer the most till last.

    3. Water detail - only change this if your GFX card doesn't support hardware vertex
    shaders. Anything GF3 or higher that is NOT an MX card, and anything Radeon 8500
    above will support this.

    4. High quality forests - this will have a very big impact on improving your
    processor speed, but I list it as no. 4 as it also makes the game look a lot worse.
    If you don't mind the look of the low quality forests, this should help processor
    usage quite a bit.

    5. Model detail - careful with this one, agai
