Release Notes ============= * If logo movies do not play when first starting Space Bunnies Must Die, follow the instructions above for installing the MediaPlayer. * Saved games are not compatible between high resolution and low resolution installs. * Uninstall will most likely leave directories behind after uninstallation. This is due to files copied to your machine during gameplay. After uninstalling it should be safe to delete the the Space Bunnies Must Die directory (c:\jinx\sbmd by default), unless you want to keep your saved games. * On 32mb machines, load times will increase between levels (especially while using software rendering). * The screen may black out for a few moments while the level loads, this is normal behavior. You should still see/hear your hard disk and cd rom being accessed. * ALT-TAB, using a "windows" key on your keyboard, or CTRL-ESC will cause Windows to return to the foreground application. On certain configurations, this may cause your mouse to lock up or disappear. * If after starting the game you get the inventory in the lower left corner but nothing else, the game may be having problems with your hardware accelerator. Try using the software renderer instead. * The low resolution install option is for use with hardware accelerators that do not have sufficient video memory for the high resolution textures. If you experience rendering errors (looks weird), or performance problems, try reinstalling with LowRes textures. * Software rendering will probably not see a performance increase using LowRes textures. * On certain video cards you may see graphical glitches or dropouts in software mode. In certain video modes you may also experience a crash. If you are experiencing problems make sure that your device drivers are current and that you have DirectX 6.0 and the media player installed. * Occasionally on certain video cards, Allison can get caught outside of the world, if this occurs, press escape and reload your last saved game. Hardware Issues =============== * S3 ViRGE: May have texture problems in hardware acceleration, use software instead. * Rendition 2100: Will not run in hardware acceleration, use software instead. * Some video modes listed in game may be unattainable. Please check with your video card and monitor documenation to get correct resolution settings. SBMD and non-Intel PCs ====================== * SBMD is optimized for Intel processors. On non-Intel based PCs you may experience longer level load times (3-4 minutes).
