# Video Setup

This page contains important information on configuring your video card. If you have a 3D accelerator card with OpenGL drivers, you can run this game in hardware mode and experience incredibly smooth game-play in high resolution.

## Display Setup Program

Before running the game for the first time, you should select a video mode from the video setup program. The image on the right shows what the video setup program looks like. If you haven't seen this setup program before running the game, be sure to go to the game's program group and run 'Display Setup'.

The video setup program gives you 4 video mode options:

- 3dfx Voodoo2
- 3dfx Banshee
- Other 3D card
- Software Mode

If you're not sure which 3D card you have, or you've selected the wrong card, you can always re-run the Display Setup program and select Software Mode to be safe. Software Mode should work on all video cards. However, note that Software Mode is the slowest choice! This game performs best in 3D hardware accelerated mode.

3dfx Voodoo2
Choose this option if you have a Voodoo2 based board. This video card requires a custom version of opengl32.dll present in the game's directory to experience 3D hardware acceleration.

3dfx Voodoo Banshee
Choose this option if you have a 3dfx Banshee board. This video card requires a custom version of opengl32.dll present in the game's directory to experience 3D hardware acceleration.

Other 3D Card
Most users with 3D cards with OpenGL ICD drivers should select this option to experience 3D hardware acceleration. No special DLL needs to be copied to the game directory for these boards. These boards include the ATI Rage 128, 3dfx Voodoo3, and NVidia TNT2 cards.

Software Mode
All users who do not have 3D boards, or who have 3D boards which lack an OpenGL driver, should select Software Mode. Remember, software rendering is very slow compared to hardware mode.

## OpenGL

This program requires the presence of an OpenGL driver on your system. Windows should ship with the required OPENGL32.DLL file in your Window's SYSTEM directory. If you are having trouble getting your video card to work with this game, or you can not locate the OpenGL drivers for your particular video card, you should try GL Setup, a free OpenGL driver installation program available on the internet. More information on GL Setup can be found at www.glsetup.com.
