Problem: The game seems slow and choppy.
Solution: If you are experiencing slow game play, there are some options we can disable, or adjust that should help.
**Try running SMARTDRV.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Make sure you add the option for caching the harddrive you
installed Deer Huntin' to. Here is an example of the Smartdrv.exe line in the Autoexec.bat file for a system
using Windows 95. If you have DOS only, please replace C:\WINDOWS with C:\DOS.
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 2048 C:
If the game still runs too slow, try using 4096 instead of 2048. This number represents the amount of memory Smartdrv will use. If this is set too high, your system may not have enough free memory to run the game. If you experience any memory errors, please adjust the Smartdrv cache to a lower setting. Also, the C: represents the harddrive letter you want smartdrv to cache.
**If the above does not help, you can try running the SETUP.EXE utility located in the Redneck directory, select
SOUND SETUP and setup your sound device, then adjust these options:
NUMBER OF VOICES: select 4 or less.
NUMBER OF MIXING BITS: choose 8-bit
NUMBER OF CHANNELS: choose MONO SOUND
MIXING RATE: select 8 Khz
When using these settings for sound, the game should run faster on your system.
**You may also need to run at a lower screen resolution. We recommend using 640x480. If you set the screen to a higher resolution (like 800x600) then the game will run much slower.
**If you still experience troubles, try installing the game from DOS rather than installing it from autoplay window in Win95.
Problem: When starting the game, the screen scrolls and is unreadable.
Solution: If you know what kind of video card you have, you may want to contact your video card manufacturer
and request a VESA 2.0 compliant driver. However, if you don't know what kind of video card you have, you may go
ahead and contact the company that manufactured your computer.
Another source where you can find a generic VESA driver is at SciTech Software's Web Site on the Internet. There
you can get a preview VESA driver (called SciTech Display Doctor) that may help you with your problem. Their address
is:
Once you download it, you can run the executable to install the driver. Make sure that you only install the UniVBE
VESA driver, and not the UniPOWER and the VBE/AF Accelerator driver. (Note: If you
have the ATI Mach 64 video card, the Scitech VESA driver will not work. You will need to contact the video card
manufacturer at WWW.ATITECH.COM to get a Vesa 2.0 compliant video driver and installation help for it).
Problem: I have an ATI video card using the M64VBE driver and am having video troubles with the game.
Solution: Try running the M64VBE with the following switches:
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\VESATSR\M64VBE ACC
