********************************************************** -> Installation <Please carry out the following steps in order to install the game: 1. Place the Cossacks CD-Rom in your CD-Rom drive and close it. 2. If the Autorun function of your CD-Rom drive is activated, the installation program will start automatically. if this is not the case, you will have to start the program CSETUP.EXE in the root directory of the Cossacks CD-Rom manually by double-clicking. 3. Follow the instructions of the installation program. 4. Note: Cossacks - The Art of War is an extension for Cossacks: European Wars. This means that a original version of Cossacks: European Wars has to be installed on your computer. 5. We hope you'll enjoy Cossacks - The Art of War ! ********************************************************** -> Important <1. Your monitor (and your graphic card) must support a 1024x768 resolution for the game to run. If your monitor (or your graphic card) supports only resolutions lower than 1024x768, Cossacks will not run. 2. You must have an installed version of DirectX 6.0 or higher on your computer for the game to run. If you do not already have DirectX installed, you can install it from the game CD. 3. When testing we discovered that old sound cards in ISA slots and sound cards with Yamaha XG chipsets with old drivers lead to computer problems. This problem can only be eliminated by installing the latest drivers for these sound cards. 4. If you experience crashes while playing Cossacks, use the program SoundConfig.exe, located in the installation folder of Cossacks, to reduce the number of supported channels. ********************************************************** In most cases you will not need the program "Internet Game Setup". However, if you play Cossacks via a proxy

and through a firewall in the internet, problems may arise when you download clan icons. In order to solve these, just start the program "Internet Game Setup", set the proxy to "enable" and then enter the address of the proxy and the port. You can find these for instance in the internet explorer under Tools->Internet Options-> Connection->LAN Settings. ********************************************************** www.cossacks.com Developers: GSC Game World www.gsc-game.com Publishers: CDV Software Entertainment AG www.cdv.de CDV Software Entertainment AG Neureuterstr. 37b 76185 Karlsruhe Germany E-Mail: support@cossacks.com Tel: +49-(0)721-97224-0 Fax: +49-(0)721-97224-24
