Troubleshooting Notes ((supplemental to those in the original readme.txt file))
- If you have a Voodoo 3 based card, please make sure you have the latest/final version of the 3DFX drivers – early driver versions can cause various artifacts in hardware mode. 3DFX drivers can be found at www.3dfx.com.
- If you have stability problems, all of the following can be possible solutions:
- Try not to run any other programs in the background – close all other programs before starting Tropico. Avoid task-switching (ALT-TAB) out of Tropico.
- Make sure you have up to date video and sound card drivers
- Certain sound cards (Soundblaster Live) have hardware acceleration. It has been reported that this sometimes causes instability or can increase sound related problems. If your sound stutters or you experience instability, try disabling hardware acceleration on your sound card (if you have it).
- Remember, there are a wide variety of graphics options available in the settings menu (press [F2] in the game world), including the ability to change resolutions, enable hardware acceleration, change the amount of graphic detail etc. If performance is slow on your machine, consider running at a lower resolution, turning down the level of graphics detail, and/or otherwise adjusting these settings.
