Croc: Legend of the Gobbos release 1.0
======================================
Thank you for purchasing Croc. This file contains last-minute
instructions, troubleshooting tips, and contact information.
PC MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS:
==========================
- Pentium 133 (or 100% compatible processor)
- Windows 95
- 16mb RAM
- 2x CD-ROM
- DirectX compatible video card
- DirectX compatible sound card
- 100mb free hard drive space for compact install
- 50mb free Virtual Memory swap file space on hard drive after
install
INSTALLATION ISSUES:
====================
DirectX Installation:
---------------------
If for some reason another product installs an older version of
DirectX, or if Croc does not successfully install DirectX, you may
wish to install DirectX manually by right-clicking on the CD icon in
'My Computer', selecting Open, opening the 'directx' folder, then
double-clicking on the Dxsetup.exe icon and then clicking on the
'ReInstall DirectX' option.
Croc does not install or share any DLL's except those used by DirectX.
Executables:
------------
Croc will install three executable files on your hard drive:
Crocrun.exe: Game launch program, installs (when run from CD),
launches and allows you to configure the initial game
setup.
Croc.exe: Pentium optimized version of the game.
CrocP6.exe: Pentium Pro optimized version of the game (also used by
Pentium II, and Pentium compatible processors such as
AMD K6 & Cyrix 6x86)
PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES:
=======================
Although Croc will work with other applications running in the
background, for the best results it is recommended that you run the
game as a stand-alone application (with no other applications running).
As well as avoiding possible conflicts from other applications, this
will also help prevent Windows from accessing the hard drive Virtual
Memory swap file, and affecting the speed and sound effects of the
game.
Even if you close all running applications, there may be a number of
other tasks running in the background. Some of these are displayed as
icons in the System Tray on the Windows Taskbar, and others are not
immediately obvious.
If, after trying the above suggestions, you are still experiencing
performance problems, you can experiment with closing these tasks,
although it is possible that closing some of them could cause your
computer to crash and require restarting.
You can usually close most System Tray tasks by right-clicking or left-
clicking on their Tray icon, and then selecting Close, Exit, Quit or
Suspend (depending upon the task).
After this, to see what 'hidden' tasks are still running, from the
Windows 95 desktop, carefully press the CTRL, ALT and DEL keys together
ONCE - this will display a list of active tasks. You can free up
system resources by closing these one at a time by clicking on a task
and then selecting the 'End Task' button. On most systems, you will be
able to close all tasks except 'Explorer' (which you should leave
running).
If you are running on a hardware accelerator with only 2mb of video
memory and a system with only 16mb of RAM there may be sound and
performance problems as Windows 95 swaps memory onto the hard drive. A
severe shortage of available hard drive space for the Virtual Memory
swap file can cause Windows 95 to crash under some circumstances.
The recommended settings for a minimum specification machine using the
software-only driver option are:
- Perspective OFF
- Normal Lighting
- 320x200 or 320x240 screen resolution
You may need to experiment with adjusting the settings to obtain the
best balance of speed and performance for your system.
