TROUBLESHOOTING AND TIPS FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE ---------------------------------------- 1. If you receive a message telling you that the CD is unreadable, make sure that the CD is clean and dust-free and that there are no scratches. 2. If your computer locks up or crashes while running the game, it may be because you have other applications running in the background. You should close all other applications and programs while you are running this game. This may include screensavers and internet connections. To disable a screensaver, read the documentation that came with the screensaver or with your computer's operating system. F. KNOWN PROBLEMS ---------------------------------------- DARIAS INFERNO uses special fades between levels and when exiting the game. In some rare cases, certain video cards crash while this happens. Try updating your driver to the latest version or adding the /DontFade option to the command line. Right click on the Darias Inferno shortcut and type /DontFade at the end of the line labeled Target. G. HINTS AND TIPS FOR BETTER GAMEPLAY ---------------------------------------- 1. You can navigate Daria through the game by using either the mouse or the keyboard arrows. However in certain places it may easier to move her with the arrow keys (Movie Theater, Boiler Room). 2. When you are using an Inventory Item on an object or person, move around that object to find exactly the right position for Inventory Item to work. H.
