V. KNOWN ISSUES:
=====================

If you are unsure about the specification of your computer, try running
"DXDIAG" to display useful information about your computer. To do this, follow
these steps:

In Windows go to START > RUN
Type "dxdiag" (without quotes) and press ENTER/RETURN

1) If you receive a "D3D9.DLL" error when trying to start the game, it is
likely that DirectX has not been updated to the correct version (you can check
this on the first page of DXDIAG). To reinstall DirectX, download the latest
version of the DirectX installer (9.0b).

2) If you notice that your game is running slowly, try changing the settings in
the configuration program. To run the configuration program go to Start Menu >
Programs > PERIMETER Demo > Configure Perimeter Demo. Under the graphics
option try choosing one of the presets, 'Fast' should provide the best
performance.

3) Should you experience graphical problems and are using a supported graphics
card (see list above), ensure you have installed the latest drivers for the
card, which you can download from the manufacturer's website.

ATi - Ati.com
nVidia - Nvidia.com

4) There is a known issue with the latest nVidia drivers (version 56.72) which
can cause graphical corruption when the graphical settings are changed from
Extreme to any other setting and then back to Extreme whilst in game. This can
be temporarily fixed by ALT+TABing out of and back into the game. This issue
will be fixed for final release.

5) There is a known issue with some recent nVidia drivers (version 56.64) which
can cause coloured shading to appear on buildings and the front end menu
screens. This can be temporarily fixed by ALT+TABing out of and back into the
game. This issue has been fixed in the latest nVidia drivers (56.72).

6) There is a known issue that when the game is left running for a period of
time on any of the front end menu screens. Sometimes the spongeworld chain
model disappears and the game slows down. This issue will be fixed for final
release.

7) Certain ATi Radeon cards (7200, 7500, 8500, 9100, 9200) will not run
correctly without first setting the game to run in 'Fast' mode. To do this run
the configuration program, go to Start Menu > Programs > PERIMETER Demo >
Configure Perimeter Demo. Under the graphics option set the preset to 'Fast'.
