General Notes and Troubleshooting 1.1. Installation Notes If you choose not to install Rogue Spear to the default location (c:Program filesRed Storm EntertainmentRogue Spear), You must install Rogue Spear into a valid folder. You can not install the game to a C: or D: drive without first creating a folder or directory to install the game into. You must create a folder (i.e. C:Rogue Spear or D:Red Storm Entertainment instead of installing directly to C: or D: without a folder) 1.2. Rogue Spear and Laptop computers. Rogue Spear was neither developed nor tested for laptop computers. The reason for this is that most video and sound card companies sacrifice DirectX compliance for miniaturization and portability. As such, these manufacturers do not offer drivers that are optimized for Direct3D gaming, which means that ultimately; you may have limited success in running the game properly. 1.3. Multi-Tasking (Alt-Tab) Rogue Spear does not support multitasking (pressing ALT+TAB). This should not be an issue, as there should not be any open programs running in the background while playing Rogue Spear. For best results, please make sure all open programs are closed before starting Rogue Spear -- this includes any programs running in the System Tray beside the clock on the Windows 9x task bar. If you need to return to Windows while in the game, we recommend that you exit by pressing the ESC key, then selecting Exit Rogue Spear from the preceding menu to get back to Windows quickly. 1.4 Windows 2000 Rogue Spear was not developed or tested on Windows NT 4.0/ 2000 Professional. Rogue Spear may or may not run on Windows 2000 Professional but the game was designed to run on Windows 98 or Windows 95. 1.5 Cyrix and AMD compatibility Rogue Spear runs normally on computers using Cyrix or AMD processors. However, performance on computers using these processors may be noticeably slower. 1.6 Miscellaneous tips for making the game run faster.
