II. Known Issues
================================

A. Display

1) Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering
It is recommended that Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering be DISABLED or set to
APPLICATION CONTROLLED from your video card's settings page. When these settings
are enabled outside the game, visual anomalies may occur.

In general, if you find a visual problem in the game, make sure you have the latest
drivers installed for your video card. The NVidia and ATI download sites are
listed below.

2) Hardware Cursor
A hardware accelerated cursor has been included as the default rendering of the cursor
assuming that your video hardware supports it (this functionality is detected when the
game starts for the first time). If you are having graphical difficulties and the game
tends to "lock up" after having exited a mission in the Debrief screen, you may disable
the hardware cursor in the "dangerouswaters.ini" file:

.SoftwareCursor Yes


B. Voice Recognition

If you have any versions of the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine prior to version
5, you MUST uninstall those versions then install the version of the speech
engine provided with the game for voice recognition to function properly.

Opening the Speech panel in the Windows Control panel while the game is running with
the voice recognition option enabled may cause the voice recognition to stop
working. If this situation occurs, closing and restarting the game will be
necessary to re-enable voice recognition. However, the best solution is to avoid
this is by not opening the Speech panel during game play.
