To run the game with one of the options below, right-click on the desktop
shortcut to the game, and select 'Properties'. Select the 'Shortcut' tab.
In the 'Target' box add the following command (without inverted commas) at
the end of the line. In Windows 98, this means after the final inverted
commas. Note that command-line switches may not always be reflected by
current options in the in-game menus, even when they are active.
The command line options are as follows:
"NOSOUND" -> Forces the sound to be switched off.
"NOHARDWARESOUND" -> Forces sound cards to run in software mode. Set this
if you experience jerky gameplay under Windows
98SE/ME with new sound cards. See "Known Issues" for
more information.
"NOEAX" -> Disables EAX sound effects.
"NO3DSOUND" -> Disables 3D Sound.
"NOVIDEO" -> Turns off playing of the videos. (The
front-end/attract videos audio is enabled unless
'NOSOUND' is also used.)
"LQVIDEO" -> Forces the use of low quality videos.
"HQVIDEO" -> Forces the use of high quality videos.
"ANALOGUECONTROLS" -> Explained below.
"RESETCONTROLS" -> Resets the controller setup.
"STATICBUFFERS" -> Set this to fix the Geforce 4 MX440 crash bug for
nvidia drivers below version 43.80.
"NOSHADERS" -> Forces the game to use the Fixed Vertex Function
render path (ie removes all pixel shader effects).
"RESETDISPLAY" -> Resets the display setup.
"SAFEMODE" -> Runs in safe mode. This is the same as running with
all of the following options:
RESETDISPLAY, NOSHADERS, NOSOUND, NOVIDEO
