II. MANUAL CONFIGURATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. CONFIGURING LORDS OF THE REALM III Castle Editor GRAPHICS SETTINGS
The game configuration tool will automatically run the first time you start up
the game. You can change any of the graphics options by running the
Configutation.exe located in the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor Start
menu.
To run the Configuration.exe:
1. A short cut to the Lords III graphics configuration tool is installed in
the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor folder of the 'Start menu'.
Alternatively:
2. a. Double click the Configuration.exe found in the root folder of Lords
of the Realm III.
b. You can use the slider bar to generically set the graphics options.
c. To change specific graphics options, click the Advanced options
button.
d. Once you are finished changing the graphics click the Save button and
the executable will automatically close.

key on the number pad.
c. The graphic for light infantry barracks and heavy infantry barracks are
reversed.
IV. GENERAL TECHNICAL ISSUES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. For better game performance, we highly recommend exiting all non-essential
background programs before running the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor.
The Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor will also run better if your system
has current hardware drivers and a recently defragmented hard drive.
B. Application switching is not supported. Using Alt-Tab, Alt-esc or even
hitting the Windows key to minimize the game is known to cause instability
issues in the game.
C. The Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor will not start while Net Meeting(R)
is running in the background.
D. The screen saver is disabled while the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor
is running. If the game crashes during play then your screensaver may need to
be reactivated.
E. Switching to another executable while the Lords of the Realm III Castle
Editor is running may cause some of the graphics resources to become corrupted.
If the graphics do become corrupted for any reason, closing the game and
restarting should clear up most issues. If you must switch to another
executable while playing the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor, we recommend
that you first save your current game.
F. Installing the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor to your desktop is not
supported. Lords of the Realm III should run fine if you install it into a
folder on a desktop, but you do so at your own risk.
G. If for some reason the Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor is terminated
prematurely (ex: through the task manager), and you cannot re-start the
program, reboot your system and try again.
H. There are known driver/video ram issues when playing in 1600x1200 on
GeForce2 boards -- users should stay in lower resolutions on those cards.
I. The ATI Radeon 9200 is a dual card with both TV and monitor output. If the
ATI driver has both outputs enabled, Lords of the Realm III may run at a low
frame rate. If this occurs, disable the TV driver and the game should run fine
with clear audio and no performance issues.
J. AMD has identified an issue that could result in the corruption of video
data shared between AGP graphics adapters and AMD Athlon(TM) or AMD Duron(TM)
family processors, including the AMD Athlon MP, mobile Athlon 4, and AMD Athlon
XP processors, when running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000
Server, or Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This issue is independent of system
chipset and has been observed when running Ziff-Davis 3D Winbench(TM) 2000 and
Mad Onion 3DMark(R) 2000 in benchmarking mode. Please contact AMD directly for
the patch that resolves this issue.
K. If you are playing under Windows 98SE or ME with certain audio cards, you
may need to turn down you Sound Acceleration due to driver instability. To do
this open the Start menu and select 'Run'. Enter 'dxdiag' in the Open: field.
This will open the DirectX Diagnostic tool. It may take a moment for the tool
to finish analyzing your system. During this time the monitor may flash on and
off, this is normal and video will return momentarily. Once the diagnostic is
done running, click on the 'Sound' tab. If you have a compatible sound card
installed, the 'Hardware sound acceleration level' meter will be active. Slide
the bar to the far left to deactivate sound acceleration.
L. The Lords of the Realm III Castle Editor can be used to make custom castle
for use with the game. It is not a supported Sierra product. Impressions is
providing this software "as is" and does not guarantee that it will work on
your computer.
M. Users experiencing stability issues, on low end AMD systems running older
Geforce Cards, should contact Nvidia for driver updates that may address these
problems.
