Video Driver Notes

Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed was designed for use under Direct X release 7.
Please ensure that you have the latest DX7 drivers installed on your system.

The latest drivers from nVidia and 3DFx are contained in the \Drivers subdirectory

downloaded and installed the latest DirectX drivers for your Voodoo card.

3DFx Voodoo 1
Support for Voodoo1 is through Glide.

nVidia RIVA128
For best look and performance, the following should be set via the Nvidia RIVA 128
video card control panel:
- Per pixel mipmapping: Disabled;
- No Automatic mipmap generation;
- Direct3D Texture Memory Size: 0 MB.

If you are having trouble with unreadable or scrambled fonts, try changing the

- Filtered Texel Origin: x=0.00 texels, y=0.00 texels.

- Filtered Texel Origin: x=0.00 texels, y=0.00 texels.
nVidia GeForce
Please ensure that the latest drivers are in use. Problems have been identified
with slow frame rate and game instability on driver releases prior to 5.x.

The Diamond Viper II

This video card appears to have Z-precision issues. This results in the polygons
(or groups of polygons) appearing to "swim" and "poke through each other" in both
the game options screens and while driving (most notably with the cars). Diamond
is aware of this problem and is looking into it.

The Diamond Stealth III G540

This video card has graphical problems when using some S3 provided video drivers.
Diamond provided drivers do not show this problem.

CONTROLS
'Look Forward'
This function when used with the 'Look Left' and 'Look Right' keys allows you to
look at a 45 Degree angle in each direction. Example: When holding down the 'Look
Left' key and the 'Look Forward' key at the same time, you will look left 45
degrees. When pressing the 'look forward' button on it's own, it does nothing.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SCREEN SHOTS
Press Alt-P to take screenshots from gameplay to show your friends or put on the
Internet. Once you have taken a screenshot, they can be found in [Need For
Speed]\SaveData. The screenshots are named UNLEASHEDxx.TGA. The file format is TGA
(Photoshop)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SAVED REPLAYS
Saved Replays can be found in the [Need For Speed]\Savedata\*.rpl directory. You
can take saved replays and send them to friends via e-mail or post them on the
Internet to show off your driving skills.

INSTALL Issues

Poor install performance and Outlook 98

Symptom
When I run Setup.exe on my system, which has Microsoft� Outlook™ 98 running
and is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server, the setup initialization reaches
99%, but then nothing happens. If I wait a long time, the first dialog box appears
and the installation proceeds normally.

Cause
This problem occurs due to some timing issues between Setup.exe and the Microsoft
Exchange Server.

Workaround
Close Outlook 98 before running Setup.exe. Generally, you should not have any other
applications running when you run an installation.
Crash while installing when using Browse on Netware Networks

Symptom
On any PC with Client32 installed and connected to the network, clicking "browse"
during the install to select a different directory to install to will cause the
installer to crash.

Cause
This problem happens only on some systems running Client for NetWare Networks. It
is due to a bug in Nwnp32.dll that affects programs that display the 16-bit style
open file common dialog box. In InstallShield installation authoring products, it
affects all dialogs that contain a Browse button (AskDestPath, AskPath,
ComponentDialog, EnterDisk, SdAskDestPath, SdComponentDialog, SdComponentDialogAdv,
and SdSetupType).

Resolution
A fix is available on Microsoft�s Web site at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q192/2/49.asp.

Note:
This information only applies to the English version of Windows 98. Contact
Microsoft for the Japanese and German versions of this DLL.

Workaround
Prior to the availability of the fix, some InstallShield customers reported that
taking the following actions enabled them to work around the problem:

- Connect to a bindery server, instead of using NDS (NetWare Directory Services).

- Do not map any network drives (including through the logon script).
- Do not log on to the network.
- Use a custom dialog to prompt for the path.
- Use the AskPath dialog and type the path into the edit field, instead of browsing
to it.
- Install and use NetWare network client software from Novell, instead of the
existing Client for NetWare Networks.

Car Settings - Gear Ratios

Gear Ratios can only be changed on Race Cars (ie: 550 Spyder, 935 and GT1) in all
other cars the gear ratio cannot be changed.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Alt-Tab Problems

The use of Alt-Tab to minimize the game during multiplayer Comms games may
disconnect you from the game.

When returning to a game that was minimized with Alt-Tab, you may experience pauses
or temporary graphic corruption.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Audio Delay

If you are using a Sound Card that does not have current Direct X driver support
you may experience slight delays in audio playback.

Attention NVIDIA GeForce256 and NVIDIA Quadro users:

NFS:PU does not support the GeForce and Quadro cards on some Intel i820
motherboards and on some Gigabyte GA-7IX Athlon systems. This is due to a bug in
the NVIDIA drivers; the bug symptom is extremely low framerate. The 5.x driver
series from NVIDIA (which are due to be released soon) fix the problems with i820
and Gigabyte GA-7IX Athlon configurations.

Until the 5.x drivers are released, or if you experience lockups or stability
problems in general, we recommend you use the 3.77 drivers (provided by NVIDIA)
which can found on this CD in the

Drivers\NVIDIA\GeForce256 & Quadro directory.

Please contact NVIDIA (http://www.nvidia.com) or your board vendor for more

information and release dates for future drivers based on the NVIDIA 5.x series.

The latest NVIDIA drivers can be found at:

Pentium Pro and Voodoo 2 Cards

For users with Pentium Pro machines and Voodoo2 video cards: if the game is not
functioning at all (doesn't get into any screens) then add, "driver=voodoo2z" to
your shortcut's Target: line, following Porsche.exe. Eg. "C:\Electronic Arts\Need
For Speed Unleashed\Porsche.exe driver=voodoo2z"
