KNOWN PROBLEMS
1. If, during gameplay tanks and other objects appear as white
or grey objects, this may be due to Tank Racer being run on a
video board with insufficient video memory. Tank Racer requires
a video board with 4MB of RAM. A possible solution for this is
to run Tank Racer in a lower video resolution. To do this select
the Performance Settings option from the launcher menu.
2. If you experience problems on a Voodoo 2 or Voodoo Banshee card,
such as flashing shadows, keep checking for the latest drivers
from your card manufacturer to rectify this.
3. If you have a hardware accelerated sound card which exhibits problems such
as
stuttering or occasional high pitched sounds, turn off DirectSound hardware
acceleration.
