<h3>
|
|
Low end machines</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that the hardware specifications shown above are the bare minimums,
|
|
so you may need a lot of adjustment to get AssaultCube to run. We recommend that
|
|
you run AssaultCube on better hardware than this. If you have troubles with AssaultCube,
|
|
make sure that the drivers for your graphics card are up-to-date.

Recommended GFX settings for low/medium end machines:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Resolution: 800x600@16bpp</li>
|
|
<li>Antialiasing: OFF</li>

You will need to gather the libraries and drivers needed for AssaultCube by yourself.
|
|
You will then need to compile AssaultCube from source. For this, you'll need to

download the tarball from sourceforge.

|
<b>Users of Windows Vista:</b>

<br clear="none" />
|
|
<b>Note:</b> Files that AssaultCube writes during the game (such as screenshots, configs

and maps) get saved in a seperate folder inside your "My Documents".

<b>Note:</b> Files that AssaultCube writes during the game (such as screenshots, configs

Read the <a href="performanceguide.xml" shape="rect">performance guide</a> or refer to the

<h2>
|
|
Display settings
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you first start AssaultCube, you will be prompted to change some fundamental
|
|
settings from their defaults to how you would like them. Some display settings can
|
|
be changed here. To change more display settings, press ESCAPE and then navigate to: Settings → Video
|
|
Settings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are having technical problems and need to change settings in a way that doesn't
|
|
start the game to do it, you can modify the batch/shell script by adding parameters
|
|
into it. How to edit the batch/shell and the different parameters can be found in
|
|
<a href="commandline.html" shape="rect">command-line arguments</a>. You can also
|
|
add <a href="reference.xml" shape="rect">commands</a> to <i>config/autoexec.cfg</i>
|
|
so they automatically execute on startup.
