Those files are: -CAPSULE.EXE -GRAPHS.DAT -SOUNDS.DAT -README.TXT -LUEMINUT.TXT - this is a Finnish version of README.TXT -HOWTOPLAY.TXT -OHJEET.TXT - this is a Finnish version of HOWTOPLAY.TXT If one or more of these files are missing, DO NOT continue using that copy, get a new copy from: http:/batman.jytol.fi/~janimm/capsule/ When you register, you get free upgrades of Capsule until version 2.0. Upgrades, until version 2.0 of Capsule, will use the same registration code, so you won't need to re-register when you upgrade the game. In some cases you might have to re-enter your registration code after upgrading so make sure you write down your code and keep it in safe place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Problems ? **** 1. Game doesn't start: Make sure you have DirectX v5 or later installed. DirectX libraries are not included in the Capsule package because of their large size. You can find the latest DirectX version in the Microsoft homepages at www.microsoft.com/directx/, or, for example, included with some other game packages or on magazine cover CD's. This game has been successfully tested under DirextX v6. 2. Game is too slow: When in the main game screen press F12 and you will see the FPS rate in the lower righthand corner of your screen. If the FPS rate is less than 60, your computer can't run Capsule fast enough. If you have a 100mhz or less Pentium with a 1MB graphics accelerator, your system may be too slow. If this is not a case, check that your graphics accelerator and soundcard drivers are 100% DirectX compatible. Check out the newest drivers at your hardware manufacturers' homepages. 3. Game is too fast: If the FPS rate is greater than 80, the game might be unplayable. Some Pentium II systems, with a fast graphics accelerator, can have FPS rates as high as 150. Try changing the monitor refresh rate from -Optimal- to a lower setting, this will most likely solve the problem. The cause of this behavior is unknown. 4. NOTE! Capsule HAS NOT BEEN tested under Windows NT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) Jani Immonen 1998 jani_immonen@hotmail.com http://batman.jytol.fi/~janimm/ http://batman.jytol.fi/~janimm/capsule/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPSULE IS DISTRIBUTED "AS IS".
