V. Troubleshooting
================================================================

-Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements
listed at the beginning of this file. Installing LAND OF THE
DEAD: ROAD TO FIDDLER’S GREEN(TM) single player demo on a
computer that does not meet the minimum system requirements can
lead to unpredictable results.

-Before installing the demo, make sure all running programs,
especially anti-virus software, are closed. Many installation
problems are avoided this way.

-If you are running Windows XP or Windows 2000, you must install
LAND OF THE DEAD: ROAD TO FIDDLER’S GREEN(TM) single player demo
via a user account with administrator or power user privileges.
If you do not have administrator or power user privileges,
please contact your system administrator for further details.

-Some video cards, often included with laptops, have a rotation
feature that can cause the game to display sideways. Going into
your display properties and disabling the rotation feature
should solve this issue. Contact your video card manufacturer
for further support regarding the rotation feature.

-DirectX 9.0 is required to play LAND OF THE DEAD: ROAD TO
FIDDLER’S GREEN(TM) single player demo. You may also need to
obtain the latest DirectX 9.0 compliant drivers from your
hardware manufacturer’s website. Many technical problems can be
resolved by simply updating your video and sound card drivers.

-Depending on your system configuration, game play performance
may be altered by changing graphical options in the Settings,
Video Settings menu. Lowering the Resolution and Video Mode will
allow the game to run faster, while increasing them may cause
the game to run slower but look better. If game play performance
is still poor, you can also turn down the Detail Level and
Shadows on this screen. Remember to click Apply Video Changes
after making changes to these options. Adjusting one (or all)
of these graphical options can dramatically increase game play
speed.

-For optimal game play performance we recommend closing all
other programs or applications before playing LAND OF THE DEAD:
ROAD TO FIDDLER’S GREEN(TM) single player demo.

IX. TIPS AND TRICKS
================================================================

-Open cupboards, filing cabinets and desk drawers by pointing
at them and pressing the E key. Ammunition and medipacks can
often be found hiding in these locations.

-Lower your profile to the crouching position by pressing and
holding CTRL to maximize your aiming effectiveness.

-Short bursts of fire are often more effective than longer
bursts. Keep an eye on your targeting reticule for feedback on
your aiming effectiveness.

-Aim for the head – it typically only takes one shot to the
head to kill the living dead, depending on the strength of your
weapon.

-Bring ‘em to their knees – shooting out their legs brings the
undead to their knees, making them much slower moving and easier
to target.

-Smack ‘em down – if you ever find yourself unarmed and have to
resort to using your hands, use your secondary attack by
clicking the right mouse button. The resulting blow will knock
them off their feet, buying you precious seconds to make your
escape.

-Closing doors behind you makes it that much more difficult for
the ever hungry to sneak up on you.

-Infectious flesh feasters emit a cloud of green. Watch out for
them!

-Stay scared!
