3.4. Bugs and Comments
Video refresh rate:
Always select the highest refresh rate supported by your monitor. This
ensures a more fluid and visually pleasing game.
**** Sound Compatibility ****
Use of HeadSet (Headphones/Microphone):
- Depending on the setup (operating system + DirectX), it
may be necessary to change the hardware acceleration (setup panel > sound > audio > sound reading > advanced).
- Some drivers apply an effect to sounds read by the PC. For some setups, this may interfere with the operation of the sound engine.
- With some cards, a half-duplex/full-duplex manual setup is possible. For this game, the card should be set up for full-duplex.
- As far as the headset is concerned, if the Internet connection is poor, there is a risk of interference or breaks in voice communication during the game.
- It is often possible to configure sound cards so that they only put out the sound signal on their digital output. In this event, you should check that this is compatible with the audio equipment used (you should use a digital amplifier connected to the digital output). See the sound card manual.
- Check that the input/output cables are correctly connected (2 cables to connect when using a headset). Do not forget that sometimes there is a volume control or a switch for the microphone on the headset lead.
**** Graphics Compatibility ****
- If the game is very slow, or the display corrupted, check that anti-aliasing is not forced at the level of the drivers. If this is the case, deactivate it.
- If your monitor switches to Energy Saving, update the drivers for your screen.
**** Network Compatibility ****
Problems with Firewalls
If you have a firewall on your Internet connection, check the "Playing on Gamespy" paragraph.
**** Hardware Compatibility ****
Motherboard drivers and BIOS settings:
If your computer does not respond, check that your motherboard drivers are up-to-date. If you have carried out changes to BIOS and the game crashes, try restoring the default settings (or security settings).
****Sticky-keys ****
It is recommended to deactivate the sticky-keys when playing. (Control Panel -> Accessibility Options -> Keyboard -> Use sticky keys should be unchecked).
Windows Updates while playing may minimize your game and / or make it slower.
GRAW2 exclusively uses AGEIA PhysX technology to provide interactive physics effects on the PC. The PhysX engine operates on any PC system to provide overall game-play and effects physics. Beyond this, the game is designed to take full advantage of the AGEIA PhysX Processor - the world's first and only dedicated PC physics accelerator.
Gamers with PhysX cards get access to enhanced and exclusive bonus content in addition to the game-play and effects standard to the software PhysX engine. In particular, card owners unlock: “AGEIA Island” - a level designed for a more extensive physics experience showcasing fully realistic and interactive environments possible only with PhysX acceleration.
*) Settings and Performance
There are three levels of PhysX adjustable via a drop-down sub-menu in the game-menu: "Options->Video->Advanced Settings". These levels offer variable scale and sophistication of environmental physics and interaction.
At run-time, the game will automatically detect for the existence of a PhysX card and default to: "Normal" if no PhysX accelerator is detected and to: “PhysX High” when a card is detected. The “PhysX Extreme” option is available for users willing to push physics to the limit on the most powerful systems with PhysX hardware. Gamers are recommended to leave these settings at their default levels or go lower if they experience performance issues. A dual-core PC plus PhysX card is highly recommended to play missions at: “PhysX High”.
All game physics is exclusively based on AGEIA PhysX SDK v2.7.1. The corresponding system software (driver) is distributed with the game. For the latest drivers and more news and information on GRAW2 and PhysX including exclusive bonus content, users are encouraged to visit: www.ageia.com.
