Multiplayer Demo icon on your desktop, or:

1) Click on the Windows(R) Start button
2) Select Programs
3) Select Sierra
4) Select Contract JACK (MP Demo)
5) Click on the Contract JACK Multiplayer Demo icon

Once the launcher appears on the screen, you’ll be presented with the following
options:

Play: Click on this to launch the game. The first time you launch, you will
be
prompted to choose a performance setting that fits your particular system
configuration.
Read the descriptions of each setting and choose the one that is the closest
match for
your hardware. Please note that choosing a setting higher than your system can
support
will likely result in unsatisfactory performance.

Display: This option will allow you to choose from a list of available display
resolutions
prior to running the game.

Options: This section contains options that can be used to turn various game
features on
and off. These options should only be used if you encounter problems when
running the game
and should not be changed if everything is functioning normally.

Uninstall: This allows you to easily remove the game files from your hard
drive. Please
note that certain installation files may become shared by other programs, so
you may be
prompted for confirmation before some of these files are removed. Also, your

Quit: Closes the Launcher application without starting the game.

IV. NOTES ON COMPATIBILITY
=========================

FUNCTIONALITY

Contract J.A.C.K. is designed to function with Windows(R)
98/98SE/ME/2000/XP-compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers
for these devices are provided by Windows(R) itself or the
respective card manufacturers and may occasionally result in
compatibility problems beyond our control.

Contract J.A.C.K. does not support the Windows(R) 95 operating system since
the
application requires proper installation and functionality of DirectX 8.1 or
higher.
Microsoft does not provide or support DirectX 8.1 for Windows(R) 95.

If you experience any problems, it is always recommended that you obtain the
latest
drivers for your hardware. Driver updates resolve the overwhelming majority
of
compatibility issues. Most hardware vendors make their drivers available on
their web
site. If you are unsure of a web site URL for a particular hardware vendor,
you may
want to try accessing one of the popular Windows(R) software update sites
such as:

http://www.windrivers.com

Additionally, a brief list of the chipset and board manufacturer web sites
appears
below for your reference.

Please be aware that this is not officially supported, however.

V. MULTIPLAYER NOTES
=========================

Hosting a game on a system that falls below the recommended system
requirements
will result in poor performance for both the host and all clients.

Hosts running on a 56k connection should set the player limit no higher than 2
to
avoid bandwidth saturation and packet loss.

Please see the serverreadme.txt file in your main installation folder for
instructions on
setting up and running a dedicated server.

VI. KNOWN ISSUES
=========================

Global:

Make sure that all applications that are running in the background such as
Virus scanners, Desktop Utilities (menus/toolbars), Media Players, and
chat programs are disabled before running Contract J.A.C.K.

Selecting a display resolution that is supported by your video card but
not your monitor will result in a black screen. If this occurs, use
Alt-F4 to quit the application, and then use the display option in the
launcher (ContractJack_Demo_MP.exe) to select a resolution supported by
your monitor.

Task-switching with ALT-TAB or the Windows(R) Key back to the desktop while
running the game is not recommended.

WINDOWS(R) 2000/XP:

Windows(R) XP users must have access to the Computer Administrator's account
in order to install and play Contract J.A.C.K..

Windows(R) 2000 users please download the latest service pack before playing.

Striking the Shift key five times may cause the 'Sticky Key' feature to
become enabled in Windows(R) 2000. If this happens, the feature will task
switch to a desktop dialogue box with options related to this feature,
including one to disable it entirely.

WINDOWS(R) 98/ME:

If you cannot launch the game after playing previously without first
rebooting your system, then be sure to get the latest critical and
recommended updates for your operating system via Windows(R) Update.

GRAPHICS:

SYSTEMS WITH VIA CHIPSETS:
Always update the 4 in 1 drivers to avoid possible instability problems
with your graphics card. You can find these here:

http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/4in1/VIA_4in1_443v.zip

ATI RADEON SERIES:
Mouse cursor flickers on screen during game after changing in-game
resolution. Make sure that the latest Radeon Catalyst drivers are
installed. Also going back into the menus and then back into the game will
also correct this issue.

Detail textures currently appear washed out and dull on some Radeon cards.
A future update from ATI should correct this. In the meantime, it is
recommended that you turn Detail Textures OFF in the Display options menu
under Performance if this occurs.

ATI RADEON 7200:
Textures on very thin polys (such as power lines) may appear to be broken
into small pieces.

ATI RADEON 8500:
When the hardware cursor option is enabled, the mouse cursor may appear
black and white or appear corrupted. Also, the position of the cursor may
be slightly off after changing performance options. Try disabling the
hardware cursor from the "Options" Launcher to correct this issue.

Some detail brushes such as pictures on walls and blood splats may disappear
when viewed from a distance.

Lockups may occur in some cut scenes and during certain gameplay
situations. ATI has fixed this issue with a special driver version. You
can obtain this driver at http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4094.html

ATI RADEON 9OOO SERIES:
During cinematics, semi translucent bars may appear at the top and bottom
of the screen. Please make sure that the Texture Quality option under the
ATI Direct 3d settings which can be found under Display Settings is set to
highest.

ATI RADEON PRO SERIES:
Textures at the sides and corners of your screen may disappear when you
approach them. Updating to the latest version of ATi's Catalyst driver
will fix this issue.

Users of these cards may also encounter a crash after bringing up the
multiplayer join menu more than once, and then remaining on this screen
for a while. This appears to be a driver issue.

MATROX PARHELIA 512:
Some very early versions of this card may exhibit missing textures on some
surfaces when weapons are fired or the key chain flashlight is used.
During certain cinematics, shadows on the faces and necks of models will
appear to be very jagged.

Frequent lockups may also occur with all driver revisions for this card
prior to v1.01.00.080. Please be sure to update to the latest driver
prior to playing the game.

NVIDIA GEFORCE CHIPSETS:
Running the game with outdated drivers may result in crashes during
gameplay. It is highly recommended that you first update to the latest
detonator drivers available before playing. Refer to Section V. for more
information on the latest drivers available.

XABRE 400:
Graphical anomalies such as streaks stretching outwards from bullet marks
may occur when using this card. This seems to be a driver problem.

UNSUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS:
Any video card that's not equipped with Hardware T&L (Transform and
Lighting) will suffer either poor performance or complete malfunction.
Even though the Matrox Millennium G550 and S3 Savage Chipsets are known to
have T&L support, these cards only support this feature through their
Software and do not meet the minimum requirement of support through
Hardware. Please review Section V. for the supported Video Card Chipsets
list.

SOUND:

GENERAL:

If the in-game sounds and dialogue (voices) do not play, or there are
problems with the quality of these sounds, then please try each of the
following steps (in order) before playing again. Note that you should only
try one solution at a time, since trying them all can greatly reduce the
overall sound quality of the game.

1. Make sure that you have the latest drivers available for your sound
hardware installed. These can usually be found on the manufacturer's
website.

2. From your main installation folder (the Default is C:\Program
Files\Sierra\Contract JACK (MP Demo)), double click on the file named
WMFADist.exe, and then follow the on-screen instructions. This will
manually install the audio codec that is required by the game.

3. From the in-game sound options menu,change the sound quality option
from high to low, or vice-versa.

4. Refer to the sections below for specific troubleshooting information
for your particular sound card.

5. From the launcher application, click on the "options" button and
then click on the box next to "Disable Sound Filters".

6. From the launcher application, click on the "options" button and
then click on the box next to "Disable Hardware Sound".

Please note that since this game uses an MP3 codec for sound, the Nimo
codec pack may cause speech and sound to drop out completely. Please
uninstall the Nimo codec pack before installing Contract J.A.C.K.. If
you have already installed the game, please uninstall both the Nimo codec
pack and the game, and then reinstall the game only.

Also, subtitles will not appear in the game if you do not have a
sound card,or if your soundcard is not detected, or if you have disabled
sound completely in the advanced options menu.

SOUND BLASTER LIVE! SERIES:

If you are using DirectX 9.0, you may experience performance problems when
enemy gunfire is heard. This is a driver issue. To fix the problem, lower
your sound hardware acceleration level in the control panel or in the
sound section of the Dxdiag utility.

You may experience missing sound effects and speech with older drivers
(v.4.xx). It's highly recommended that you update to the latest series of
drivers (v.5.xx) to correct this issue. You can check your current
driver version as follows:

1. Click on the "Run" option from the Windows(R) start menu.
2. Type "Dxdiag" (Without the quotes) in the command line and press
. This will initiate the DirectX Diagnostic Tool Menu.
3. Select the "Sound" tab to see information on your sound hardware.
4. In the right-hand column of this window is your sound card driver
information.

SOUND BLASTER PCI 128:
If you’re experiencing speech and audio dropout, please try the following:
Initiate the launcher, click on options, click on the "Disable
Sound Filters" option. Also check on the Creative website and obtain
the latest driver.

SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY:
Weapon fire and AI voices may stop playing during heavy firefights. An
updated driver for the Audigy will fix this issue. Also, EAX sound filtering

effects on some weapon sounds may not reset correctly after climbing out of
water or other areas.

If you are using an Audigy card under Windows(R) 98, dialogue and other
effects
may get cut short. To fix the problem, select low quality sound in the
performance section of the options menu.

HERCULES GAME THEATER XP:
The volume of certain sound effects may seem unnecessarily loud. A future
driver from Hercules may correct this issue.

DIAMOND MONSTER SOUND I&II:
Music throughout the game may be muffled when using these cards. Currently
the manufacturer does not supply DirectX 8.1 audio drivers.

NVIDIA NFORCE AUDIO:
All aspects of game audio suffer from high-pitched static and popping
noises. An updated driver (V1.13) should correct this problem and can be
found on NVIDIA's website. (www.nvidia.com)

TURTLE BEACH SANTA CRUZ:
If sounds seem missing or the volume of certain sounds changes erratically
throughout the game, please install the latest driver (v.4161 or newer)
from the manufacturer's web site. This should correct the problem.

AUREAL VORTEX I&II:
The last available drivers for these cards with Vortex chipsets are not
fully Direct 8.1 compatible. Therefore, these cards cannot be supported
in Contract J.A.C.K. Users of these cards may experience muffled
background music, and missing or muffled sound and dialogue.

PHILIPS SEISMIC EDGE:
The audio is some levels may sound muffled. Turning down hardware sound
acceleration in Dxdiag should eliminate this problem.

PERIPHERALS:

LOGITECH MICE:
When the scroll wheel is set to a special function in
Mouseware, activating the scroll wheel during gameplay may have
undesired results. Setting the scroll wheel's function to "Middle
Mouse Button" in Mouseware should resolve the issue.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

If you're encountering problems running the game, you can try
tweaking some advanced settings in the "Options" window on the game
launcher (double-click ContractJack_Demo_MP.exe and click the "OPTIONS"
button).
Please note that this is for advanced users only, since tweaking
these settings could very well create other problems in the game.

DISABLE SOUND
If this box is checked, there will be no sound effects or subtitles
in the game. Also, dialog and lip-synching will not play correctly.
Music will still play. If you are experiencing problems running
the game and suspect your sound card may be the cause, you might
check this box and see if the problem goes away. If it does then the
problem may be due to a problem with your sound hardware or drivers.

DISABLE MUSIC
If this box is checked, there will be no dynamic DirectMusic in
the game. Please use this option for troubleshooting purposes only.

DISABLE MOVIES
If this box is checked, the intro logo movies will not be
shown. Use this if your system is having trouble playing these
movies.

DISABLE HARDWARE SOUND
If this box is checked, this will disable DirectSound 3D sound support
and could cause performance issues.

DISABLE TRIPLEBUFFERING
If this box is checked, video output will not be triple-buffered. With
certain video cards, this may help performance.

DISABLE JOYSTICKS
Disables input from joysticks and gamepads. Certain joysticks
and gamepads may interfere with normal mouse or keyboard
control in the game. If you suspect this is occurring, checking
this box before running the game may resolve the problem.

DISABLE HARDWARE CURSOR
If the mouse pointer is missing, flickering or otherwise
distorted in the game menus, checking this box may fix the
problem.

DISABLE SOUND FILTERS
If this box is checked, sound filtering effects (reverb) will be
disabled. Only cards with EAX 2.0 support will benefit from this
feature. If you experience problems such as static when firing a
weapon underwater, you may need to play with sound filtering disabled.

ENABLE SCREENSHOTS
When this is selected, you can use the key ingame to take
screenshots.
The screenshot files will be saved to your main installation folder
as "screenshot#.bmp". Please note that antialiasing will not function when
this mode is enabled, and the game's performance will be lessened.

VII. PERFORMANCE
===================================

DETAIL SETTINGS

When launching the game for the first time, be sure to choose the detail
setting that best fits your system configuration. After the initial
launch, You can change this setting at any time through the performance
options menu.

UPGRADING

If you are unsatisfied with the level of detail that your system can
handle, then you may wish to consider upgrading. Contract J.A.C.K's
performance is most affected by your video card, followed closely by the
amount of installed memory in your machine. A high end video card will
usually result in considerable framerate improvements, while installing
more RAM will result in shorter load times and less hitching during
gameplay.

ASSET PRECACHING

If you are using a system with only 128MB of RAM, please note that
enabling asset precaching will result in significantly longer load times.
Unfortunately, leaving this option disabled will result in more hitching
during gameplay. Note that this option defaults to OFF in the low detail
setting.

foregoing and you are representing and warranting that you are
not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident
of any such country or on any such list.

7. Limited Warranty. Sierra and Monolith expressly disclaim any
warranty for the Program, Editor and Manual(s). The Program,
Editor and Manual(s) are provided "as is" without warranty of
any kind, either express or implied, including, without
limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. The entire risk
arising out of use or performance of the Program and Manual(s)
remains with the User. Some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental
damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

8. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER MONOLITH, SIERRA, VIVENDI
UNIVERSAL GAMES, INC., OR THEIR PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES
OR AFFILIATES, SHALL BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE
OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM OR USE OF

WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL
OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST
INFRINGEMENT THAT MAY BE PROVIDED IN SECTION 2-312(3) OF THE
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND/OR IN ANY OTHER COMPARABLE STATE
STATUTE IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. FURTHER, SIERRA ENTERTAINMENT,
INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR THE LOSS OR DAMAGE TO
PLAYER CHARACTERS, ACCOUNTS, STATISTICS OR USER PROFILE
INFORMATION STORED ON GAMESPY.COM. I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT SIERRA ENTERTAINMENT, INC. CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INTERRUPTIONS OF SERVICE ON GAMESPY.COM
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ISP DISRUPTIONS, SOFTWARE OR
HARDWARE FAILURES OR ANY OTHER EVENT WHICH MAY RESULT IN A LOSS
OF DATA OR DISRUPTION OF SERVICE. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitations may not apply.

9. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Monolith and/or Sierra
would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this License
Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you
agree that Monolith and/or Sierra shall be entitled, without

equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this License
Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as Monolith and/or
Sierra may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws.

connection with this License Agreement, the prevailing party in
such litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other
party all the costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses
incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.

10. Limitations on License. Nothing in this License Agreement shall
preclude you from making or authorizing the making of another
copy or adaptation of the Program provided, however, that (1)
such new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in
your utilization of the Program in accordance with the terms of
this License Agreement and for NO OTHER PURPOSE; or (2) such
new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes ONLY and all
archival copies are destroyed in the event of your Transfer of
the Program, the Termination of this Agreement or other
circumstances under which your continued use of the Program
ceases to be rightful.

11. Miscellaneous. This License Agreement shall be deemed to have
been made and executed in the State of California and any
dispute arising hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with
the law of California. You agree that any claim asserted in any
legal proceeding by one of the parties against the other shall

having subject matter jurisdiction with respect to the dispute
between the parties. This License Agreement may be amended,
altered or modified only by an instrument in writing, specifying
such amendment, alteration or modification, executed by both
parties. In the event that any provision of this License
Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will
be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining
portions of this License Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. This License Agreement constitutes and contains the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
