------------------------------------------
You may experience difficulties running South Park Rally if you don't have
the latest drivers from the manufacturer of your 3D accelerator
card.  Drivers were being changed right up to the last minute as
testing with South Park Rally revealed problems with various card drivers.

Typically, the chipset makers expect you to go to your card
manufacturer for the latest drivers for their card.  Although
the chipset makers supply the 3D chip and driver software to
card manufacturers, the manufacturer may tailor the driver to
their particular board configuration, so the safest place to go
for drivers for your board is the card manufacturer.  In some
cases, however, the chip maker also manufacturers the board.

The following is list of web site addresses from which you can
obtain the latest drivers. If South Park Rally has problems running under the drivers
you installed with your card, contact your card manufacturer for
the latest version.

Supported chipsets
------------------
Usually, but not always, if a board is based on one of the
following chipsets, South Park Rally will run on it.

3dfx Interactive Voodoo Graphics
3dfx Interactive Voodoo 2
3dfx Interactive Voodoo Banshee
3dfx Interactive Voodoo 3
3D labs Permedia 2
ATI Technologies 3D Rage Pro
ATI Technologies Rage 128
Intel I740
NVIDIA Riva 128
NVIDIA Riva TNT/TNT 2
Matrox G100/G200
Matrox G400
Rendition Verite v2100
Rendition Verite v2200
S3 Savage 3D

Minimum CPU speeds
------------------
Pentium 166 with a 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics card or equivalent.

Minimum memory requirements
----------------------------
32 Megs of memory

Video card drivers must be installed
------------------------------------
Drivers for your 3D graphics card must be installed prior to
running South Park Rally.  You typically do this when you first install the
card.  If you haven't installed the drivers, a message to the
effect that no hardware accelerator cards or drivers were found
will appear when you start South Park Rally.

DirectX 7.0 (or later) must be installed
----------------------------------------
Direct X 7.0 is installed as a normal part of the South Park Rally
installation process if  not present.

Drive space
-----------
In addition to the drive space required to install the game, South Park Rally requests up to
60 MB of virtual memory from Windows during gameplay.  Depending upon how much RAM
you have, Windows may need to increase the size of your swap
file to accommodate this request (this usually happens
automatically). If you have another drive or partition with more free space,
you could try installing South Park Rally there instead of the default location on C:
(where your swap file probably is).  This will free up space on C:, allowing
your swap file to grow larger, and, hopefully, South Park Rally to run.

Note:
Full Installation = xxx MB
Meduim Installation = xxx MB
Small Installation = xxx MB

DirectX Initialization Failure
------------------------------
If the game fails to Initialize DirectX, it will display an error message as follows:

Not enough video memory

The video card does not have enough memory to support this configuration.
Try reducing the screen resolution in the South Park Rally Configuration Screen and ensure
that Triple Buffering is disabled in the Advanced Configuration Screen.

Not enough system memory

Ensure that there is enough virtual memory available (see 'Drive space' above).

Incorrect DirectX version

South Park Rally requires DirectX 7.0 (or later) to run. You will need to reboot your
machine after installing DirectX for South Park Rally to run.

Unknown error

Check all the settings in the setup utility have valid settings. (Including Advanced settings.)
If you still experience problems this is probably a video card driver problem.

Improving Game Performance
---------------------------
Other Windows applications left running while playing South Park Rally
could be using system resources that would improve the game's
performance.

Close other applications

Reduce Graphics Mode

If the game runs at a continually slow speed, try reducing the screen resolution
or changing to a 16-bit display mode in the South Park Rally options menu under
Graphics Setup.

Selecting triple buffering, if your card supports it, will generally increase
the smoothness of gameplay.

Additonal keyboard controls
----------------------------

ALT-F4 - Shutdown application
~    - Toggle parts of the HUD on/off
P    - Pause/unpause game
