Improving Gameplay Performance
================================================== ================

Some machines will benefit from experimenting with your
video/sound options:

- From the Main Menu choose the "Options" menu signified
by some electronic equipment towards the left side on
the table. Then select the "Video" menu, select "Texture
Detail" and choose "LOW".

- Also from the "Video" menu uncheck the "WALL DECALS"
check box. This will prevent the game from creating
bullet marks on walls and should improve performance.

- Try reducing your video resolution to 640x480 or even
512x384 in your "Video" menu. The lower the resolution,
the easier it is for your computer to run the game.

- From the "Video" menu you can try lowering your color
depth from 32 to 16 bit.

- Video cards with less than 64MB Video memory cannot set
texture detail to high and texture color depth to 32 bit simultaneously.
These cards can get very poor performance at times, so lower your
texture detail and/or lower your texture depth to 16 bit.

- From the "Advanced" menu under the "Options" menu try
turning the "SHADOWS" down to "simple" or "none". Note that on
some machines setting to Complex will cause your frame rate to
drop by up to one half.

- In Advanced Video Options you can change your View
Model. This allows one to choose how much of their own
player model is shown.
NONE means player's arm and weapon will not appear.
GUN ONLY means the gun and not the arms of the player will appear.
FULL means that you will see both the hands and the weapon you are
holding during gameplay. The less that is showing, the faster the game
should run.

- If you are using the Nvidia GeForce chipsets, it is recommended that
you set your Digital Vibrance setting to low or medium dependent on
preference. By doing so, there is much more of a contrast to the colors
which, in turn, adds a lot to the ambience. Results: the lighting really pops
out and adds increased production value.
You can set your Digital Vibrance by doing the following:
-Right click on your desktop
-Choose Properties
-Choose Settings
-Choose Advanced
-Choose Color Correction
-Digital Vibrance is located at the top of the Color Correction box
The best results were viewed by setting this on low.
