Notes
==================================================================

- THPS4 supports most Windows compatible game-pad controllers.  Please refer to your controller documentation for proper installation and operating instructions.  You can configure your controller from the THPS4 Configuration Utility.
- If you experience performance problem, try setting the game to a lower resolution (such as 640x480) and tweak the different options. Turning the distance fog ON should help.
- MULTIPLAYER: THPS4 allows you to host and join multiplayer games through the popular Windows matchmaking service, GameSpy Arcade. You can install it using the THPS4 install disk.

Multiplayer FAQ
==================================================================

(Refer to the game manual for more information)

Q:  Can I play Internet games if I am behind a firewall or router?
A:  Ports 5250-5251 are required open for behind firewall gameplay. Because players that are behind firewalls or routers may encounter connection problems when trying to host or join THPS4 games through the Internet, Aspyr does not support these devices. For technical support on this devices please contact your firewall or router maker.

Q: I have a dialup modem and when I host games, clients regularly drop out. Is my modem not working properly?
A: Due to their low bandwidth, Modems are only recommended for up to 4 players games. Please adjust your multiplayer options accordingly.
