PERIPHERALS Hot Wheels(TM) Stunt Track Challenge(TM) has been tested on the following peripherals: Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad Pro (USB). Microsoft Sidewinder (USB). Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 (USB). Gravis Xterminator Digital (USB). Logitech WingMan Extreme Digital 3D ( USB ). Logitech WingMan Rumble ( USB ). ThrustMaster FireStorm Dual Power 3 ( USB ). Other DirectX compatible peripherals, may work with Hot Wheels(TM) Stunt Track Challenge(TM) but have not been tested. ========================================================= 5) Known Issues ========================================================= ON-BOARD GRAPHICS HARDWARE Whilst every effort has been made to ensure compatibility with all DirectX 9.0 compatible graphics hardware on the market, older hardware, especially some "on-board" graphics hardware, may experience performance issues when playing the game. To accommodate this as best as possible, it is advised that the display quality is kept to Low. This can be checked by inserting the original retail Hot Wheels™ Stunt Track Challenge™ disc in your CD-ROM drive, and pressing the Button marked "Display" once the game has been installed. LAPTOP/NOTEBOOK GRAPHICS HARDWARE Display drivers for laptops and notebooks are available for download from your Notebook manufacturer. These drivers may have been modified to accommodate the specific model's hardware. As a result of these modifications, support for a specific feature may not be incorporated into the latest drivers available from your laptop manufacturer. This may cause undesired graphical effects or performance issues when playing Hot Wheels™ Stunt Track Challenge™, or the may fail to run, even though the hardware check provided with the game succeeded. If you have any questions regarding the features or functionality of a particular display driver, please consult with your notebook manufacturer. DIRECT3D ADVANCED SETTINGS If you find the screen is a little blurry (especially in the Gameshow breaks and mainmenu) then you should check your Display Properties/Advanced. Some 3D cards have options for Direct3D involving "Wait for vertical sync". If this is disabled (which is common if you have it setup for performance rather than quality) then you will get a blurred result. APPLICATION SWITCHING IN WINDOWS XP Due to the way DirectInput is implemented on Windows XP machines, if you use application switching (Alt+Esc, Alt+Shift+Esc) or "coolswitching" (Alt+Tab, Alt+Shift+Tab) to change back to the windows desktop when only the game is running, there is a chance that no mouse cursor will appear on the desktop. This only occurs when the game is the only application running on your computer. ========================================================= 6) Technical Support ========================================================= If you are experiencing technical problems with this game, please contact your local THQ technical support department from the list below.
