WAR And PEACE And How It Effected

The World Essay, Research Paper

If your computer starts up in the 24 bit version of the game with fuzzy

looking graphics, try re-selecting the screen mode from the F11 menu. This

should cure this problem.

High colour GTA uses a built-in version of the "univbe" display driver to

provide its multitude of 15, 16 and 32-bit display modes. If your video card

is not recognised by the univbe check, or if you change your video card and

the check does not update to it, try running uvconfig.exe in the gtados

directory. If that doesn’t work, try running 24-bit GTA by typing

"gta24 -nounivbe" in the gtados directory. This will cause it to skip univbe

and use your video card’s native drivers instead. Alternatively, get hold of

the latest version of univbe from SciTech Software, and run it as a TSR before

running GTA.

Windows Drivers ( Grand Theft Auto DirectX )

GTA DirectX will only work correctly if you have the latest Windows 95 Direct

X Microsoft-certified driver for your video card. Your video card vendor

should be able to supply this.

Some of the latest versions of drivers will allow the use of

High colour / Low resolution screen modes (recommended). An example of this

is the Matrox Millenium.

Gravis Ultrasound

The DOS version of GTA, run under Windows 95, will not play any

sound effects with an Ultrasound, UNLESS you shut down windows into MS-DOS

mode, or change the PIF from DOS-Box to MS-DOS mode.

DOS Version – CD Sound

To allow CD audio to play on the DOS version of GTA, when run under a

bootable version of DOS, make sure that you have the MSCDEX driver loaded.

On a Windows 95 machine, if you play the DOS version through Windows, or

in a DOS box, you should get CD audio.

Sidewinder Control Pad – In DOS GTA

The Microsoft Sidewinder pad is not compatible with DOS GTA. However, it

can be used with Windows (DirectX) GTA.

Voodoo Graphics (3Dfx) Users

GTA supports 3Dfx Glide 2.42 and higher. Voodoo Graphics users must have

this updated version of Glide installed on their system. To install the

updated Glide runtime driver kit, run the grtvgr.exe file in the 3Dfx

folder of the GTA CD.

Note that we recommend 32MB of RAM to run 3DFX GTA.

EMM386 (DOS)

In DOS 6.22, If you have the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS,

play GTA, quit then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reset the machine, you may find

that the keyboard does not respond any more.
