ACTUA SOCCER - READ.ME
======================
Final CD-Rip Version by Shay Lev Ary Games


Getting Started
===============
If you have any problems getting Actua Soccer running on your
machine check the following.

1.) Do you have enough memory available to run the game? Actua Soccer
needs a minimum of 4 Meg of memory (8Meg for commentary).

2.) Make sure that you do not have SMARTDRIVE activated.
3.) Have you configured your soundcard correctly?
4.) Do you have a mouse driver installed? If NO then install one and
try again.
5.) You may under certain circumstances, experience problems
when running Actua Soccer with UNIVBE. If you do experience any
problems then simply remove UNIVBE from your AUTOEXEC.BAT
and run the game in lo-res.

HI-RES/LO-RES MODES
=================
If you have SVGA capabilities on your machine, then you will be
able to view both the Main Menus and game in glorious Hi-res.
If however you find when running the game that you cannot enter 
the hi-res it means that you do not have SVGA capabilities. If you
contact you video card supplier they should be able to supply
you with a driver.

Sound/Commentary
================
The Actua Soccer commentary system uses a method of pulling each
commentary sample off the CD or hard drive. For obvious reasons 
loading the sample off the CD Drive takes longer than from a
hard disk drive. On the minimum install option you may experience
a slight pause everytime the game looks for a different sample. 
This is because the Minimum install option requires the game to 
load every sample from the CD. The Medium and Maximum install
options copy more samples to the hard drive and therefore will
remove the pause.

Network Game
============

Please note that during a network game occasionally under certain   
circumstances one or more players may experience synchronisation
problems manifesting itself in inconsistent game results across
the networked machines.

In the event this happens please check for presence of one of the
Pentium (TM) processors with the known floating point fault. You
can do this by running a program called 'PROCESS' included on this
disc. If the result is 'TYPE A' then you have one of these faulty
processors.

We suggest you contact your PC supplier as Intel have a replacement
policy.

If all the network machines use the faulty processor then the game
should not suffer from this problem.


Look out for serial/ modem link upgrade.

Known Problems
==============

There is a known problem with the Cirrus Logic 5429 Video Card. In
rare cases the opening animation can corrupt in high resolution.
This can be ignored and the rest of the game will function correctly.
This problem does not occur on the rest of the 54xx series.
