2.0 Installation
TOU is a self-extracting package. Click the packed
exe and give the path you want to install the game.
The minimum system for playing TOU:
- Pentium 166 MHz
- 32 megabytes of memory
The recommended system for playing TOU:
- Pentium 400 MHz (needed for WMA musics and if you want lots
of computer pilots in the game)
- 64 megabytes of memory
Well, there are plenty of things to do:
- Go to options / audio
and turn "allow MP3 / WMA music" to "off".
Playing MP3 music needs maybe a 300 MHz processor. Optionally
you could just delete the musics in "music"-directory.
- Go to options / details
& video and turn Line-of-sight "off" from
the Line-of-sight: style. Pressing F6 in game will switch
between different line-of-sight styles. However, if you play single
player on hard skill, you are forced to have line-of-sight turned
on.
- Go to options / details
& video and turn Running water to "slow"
or "very slow" or "off".
- Go to options / details
& video and change the game resolution from the top
of the menu. 512 x 384 works fine even with older machines, if
your display adapter supports it. 320 x 240 is only acceptable
if you play alone, otherwise that resolution is way too small.
- Go to options / details
& video and turn parallax background to "no"
and turn waves to "no" also
- Restart your computer and check that there are no other applications
running on the background that take much processor usage.
- Well, I'm out of tricks. How can you even run Windows on your
machine?
