Operation Blockade Readme.txt
 
Hello All,
~ We hope that you get hours and hours of enjoyment from Operation Blockade.  If you are looking for in-game hints or you are experiencing problems you have come to the right place. ~
 
 
Here is what didn't make it into the manual because of time constraints:
 
Hints:
-make sure and lead your target.
-try and blast the troop transports and tanks before the hit the beach. 
-before you hit [E] to call in a torpedo attack, make sure to use your target reticule to aim your attack.  You need to lead this target also.

Multiplayer:
If you are trying to start a LAN game and you recieve a message that you do not have IPX installed, you will need to take the following steps in order to be able to play a LAN game.
Go to your [Start] menu, click [Settings], then [Control Panel], [Network], [Add], [Protocol], [Add], select [IPX compatible protocol], then click [ok].  This should get you all set and ready to go!
 
Tech Issues:
- We have encountered some graphical anomalies with some of the Voodoo video cards.  If you experience any problems with these cards here is what you can do:
Try turning the "Z buffer Toggling" off.  This option is located in the "Pick Video Mode" screen.
Also, the Hercules 3D Prophet Kyro video cards are having graphical problems.  For these cards we recommend that you lower your resolution and make sure you have the latest drivers.  You can find these drivers at www.hercules.com.  
- When first joining a multi-player game, it is necessary to click the "Ready" button to see what other players are ready in the game.
- Special mission objectives sometimes don't appear on all computers in multi-player games.
- Occasionally, the game will crash on exit, generating an "illegal operation" message.
- In very rare circumstances, the game may hang when exiting requiring the computer to be rebooted.
- Certain voice-overs about special attacks may be heard in multi-player games, even though the special attacks are not available.
- Occasionally after completing a multi-player game, players are unable to join for a subsequent game or phantom players may appear to the host computer. Exiting the game and restaring will correct the problem.
