Installation and Running the Game
1 - System Requirements
Refer to the back of the game’s pack to know the minimum and recommended system requirements to run Primitive Wars.
2 - Precautions
Close all other running programs.
Insufficient memory can lead to slower game speed, or inability to run the game.
3 - Installation
Put the Primitive Wars installation disk into the CD-ROM drive. The auto-installer will be activated. Enter the user name and Serial Number that is included in the registered game. Select a directory and path for the folder you wish to install the program in, and press confirm. If the Serial Number is correct, the installation will begin. If not, the program will not install the game. To run the game, use PLAY CD.
4 - F.A.Q. (please see also FAQ at www.primitivewars.com)
Q : An error message appears while executing the installation.
A : It is probably a problem with DirectX. Primitive Wars requires DirectX 8.0a or higher, so install the most recent version and then install the game.
Q : There is no sound.
A : Check your sound card to make sure it is Sound blaster compatible. Also check to make sure the speaker wires are connected properly, and check the volume settings.
Q : I can’t connect to the online servers.
A : Check to make sure that your internet connections are working properly. If you use a modem, check the connections to the Internet; if you use a network, check to see if you’re logged in correctly, or if the network is working properly.
Q : IPX play is not working.
A : Check to see if the IPX protocol is set right in the network. In Win98, go to Registry, Network, and check the IPX protocol settings. Once the protocol is set, you can have normal IPX play.
Q : Can’t Modem users directly play together?
A : No they cannot. You need also Internet access to play in Peer to Peer mode.
