They may contain important information related to your card, which you will need in order to get Tomb Raider II to run properly.3D Graphic Cards----------------Tomb Raider II supports all 100% Direct3D compliant graphic cards. This means that Tomb Raider II will run on every 3D accelerator card, providing that you have installed DirectX 5.0, and you have installed drivers for your 3D card which support all of the features of DirectX 5.0required by Tomb Raider II.Due to the fact that DirectX 5.0 is a very recent release, there are a few known problems with the current sets of drivers that are available for the various 3D graphic card chipsets. As new drivers become available, many of these problems will be fixed.Graphics card manufacturers constantly update their drivers. If you are running the game on a 3D accelerator card, make sure you have the latest drivers available for your card. See the Tomb Raider II Related Web Sites section for a list of web sites where you will be able to obtain the very latest drivers for your graphics card.Rendition Verite 1000On certain Rendition Verite 1000 cards, Tomb Raider II may crash out to the desktop immediately after the copyright screen is displayed, due to an inability to play the Full Motion Videos. If you experience this problem, you can turn off the FMV's in the game, by selecting the Advanced tab in Setup, and checking the Disable FMV box. If you wish to view the FMV's in the game, updated drivers for your Rendition card are included on the CD, in the Drivers\Rendition 1000 directory. This set of drivers is more recent than the drivers installed by DirectX 5. Installation instructions are provided in the readme file in the same directory.DirectX 5.0 will replace your Rendition card manufacturer's drivers, with the generic drivers that are included with DirectX 5.0. You may need to go back to your original drivers, in order to get the game working properly. The easiest method to accomplish this is:1. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties.2. In the Display Properties, click on the Settings tab.2. Select Change Display Type or Advanced Properties.3. At the top of the screen, your Adapter should be listed as "Rendition Verite". Click the Change button on the right, and you will see a list of available drivers for your graphic card.4. Click on the driver that is NOT labeled Rendition Verite and click OK.S3 Virge VX/GX/DXIf you experience any problems with your S3 Virge VX/GX/DX card, the latest drivers are available on the Tomb Raider II CD in the Drivers\S3 Virge directory. Installing these drivers will help to fix problems that you may encounter.PowerVR PCX1On PowerVR cards with the PCX1 chip, the text in all of the menus may notbe displayed to the screen. To fix this, turn off Z-Buffering by pressing the F7 key, or make sure that the Z Buffer option is unchecked in the graphics setup screen. Watch for the release of updated drivers from Power VR which may completely fix this problem.3DfxIn rare instances, Tomb Raider II will not detect 3Dfx cards. If you have a 3Dfx card installed, and experience this problem, it is probably because the 3Dfx driver is listed under the Multimedia heading, instead of Sound, video and game controllers in the System Properties/Device Manager. You will need to get the latest 3Dfx drivers for your card, remove your current drivers and install the new drivers.3Dfx Voodoo Rush (Intergraph Intense 3D & Hercules Stingray)The 3Dfx Voodoo Rush cards are properly detected by Tomb Raider 2. The game will list the available driver under Graphics Card as "Primary Display Driver". This is the Direct3D driver that enables TR2 to run properly with a great number of 3D cards, including the Voodoo Rush cards. While running TR2 on the Voodoo Rush cards, if the graphics tend to flicker or blink, you will need run Setup Tomb Raider II, and turn on all of the Graphics options under the Graphics tab, including Triple Buffer. This should alleviate the problem.CD-ROM drivesIf you have a computer system with more than 1 CD-ROM drive, or a CD changer - Tomb Raider II runs most efficiently when theTRII CD is in the first CD-ROM drive. The game will run in any of the CD drives, but you may not get redbook CD audio, and you may experience some slowdown. Depending on your hardware configuration, the game will sometimes try to stream data from the primary CD drive. In order to get the best performance, we recommend using the first occurring CD-ROM drive (or slotif a multi-changer) with Tomb Raider II.Sound CardsTomb Raider II requires that you have a sound card which fully supports DirectX 5.0. If you are getting loud static popping, or get no sound effects at all, you will need to update your sound card drivers to drivers that are compatible with DirectX 5.0. Please note that some sound card manufacturers do not have DirectX 5.0 compatible drivers yet. Until there is a driver available, you can try reducing the Wave volume in Volume Control. Double-click on the small speaker on the Windows task tray to open Volume Control.Technical Help--------------There are many 3D accelerator cards available on the market, and they allwill perform differently under the same conditions, depending on the chipset, amount of video memory, and drivers installed. The key to getting the best performance out of your graphics card is to set the card to a higher resolution, while maintaining a good frame rate with no texture loss. Many accelerator cards will run Tomb Raider II very efficiently at 640x480 High Color.If you notice texture drop out - white blank spots on menu text, objects,terrain and characters including Lara, you will need to lower the graphics resolution. The card has run out of texture memory. The graphics resolution can be changed in the setup window, and can also be changed in-game by using the F1 key to lower the resolution, and F2 to raise the resolution. Turning off Z-Buffering may help to fix this problem as well. Use the F7 key to toggle Z-Buffering on and off. If the results are unsatisfactory, you can run the game in software mode by running Setup, and selecting Software 256 Colour Renderer.If you are experiencing very low frame rates, you may want to lower the screen resolution. You can also reduce the screen size, which will leavea border around the viewable area. The F3 key will reduce the screen size, and the F4 key will increase the screen size. Reducing the resolution and screen size will help Tomb Raider II run faster.On some 3D cards, seaming may occur, drawing borders around polygons. This is most apparent when looking at the sky, which will have a tiled look to it. Turning off bi-linear filtering may help to fix this problem. Bi-linear filtering can be toggled on and off by pressing the F8 key.When using the Hot Keys in-game to increase the resolution, you will haveto be a little careful. Some of the graphic options such as Z-Buffering can be supported at lower resolutions, but may not be supported at higherresolutions. If you increase the resolution in-game to a resolution which does not support the currently selected graphics options, the game may crash your system. For example, the 3Dfx card will not run the game with Z-Buffering on in 800x600 High Color mode. If you have Z-Buffering on, and increase the resolution in-game to 800x600 the game will crash.If you are getting any errors when running the game, such as runtime C++ error, or cannot find dinput.dll, reinstall DirectX 5.0. DirectX 5.0 can be installed directly from the Tomb Raider II CD by running the dxsetup.exe program from the directx directory.If you continue to have problems, please contact your hardware manufacturer.Setup-----There are a large number of options available in the Setup window, which allow you to configure the graphics, sound and controls within the game. You may need to change some of the graphics settings to achieve the best possible performance (frame rate and detail level) on your particular graphics card. Please refer to the Technical Help section for more details on graphics configuration.The Setup window is accessed by clicking the Setup button on the Autorun Menu, or by selecting Setup Tomb Raider II from the Start menu. Click onone of the five tabs to select the page of options associated with it. The tabs available are:OptionsThe Options page displays a list of your current graphics, sound and joystick settings.*NOTE: This demo does not include gamepad/joystick support.

The default advanced settings leave the Various graphics options unchecked and Always adjust is selected under Texel Adjustment.Disable FMV When this is checked, the Full Motion Videos in the game will be disabled.Joysticks & Gamepads--------------------Tomb Raider II supports a wide variety of Windows 95 compatible game controllers. However, there are no default settings for the joystick buttons, so you will need to assign the various controls to the joystick buttons yourself.At the Main Title screen, highlight Controls (cursor keys icon) and pressthe Enter key. The Default Keys should now appear on screen. Press the right cursor key to bring up the User Keys screen. It is here that you will be able to assign the joystick buttons. Highlight the particular control you want to assign by using the cursor keys. Press the Enter keyto select that control, and then press the joystick button you wish to use. The text will flash on and off if you have assigned two controls to the same button. Once you have assigned controls for all of the joystick buttons, press the ESC key to exit the Controls screen.*NOTE: This demo does not include gamepad/joystick support.
