EAX support is automatically enabled if available.

(5) Dolby Digital

kill.switch (TM) supports Dolby Digital(TM) on Nvidia nForce® or other

Encoder required for Dolby Digital audio

################################################################################

(6) Joystick Support

kill.switch (TM) can be played with a joystick / game-pad provided the device
has two analogue sticks and at least eight buttons.

When you select a joystick in Controller Settings the set-up program will
attempt to auto-configure the controls for joysticks which it can recognise.

However, please ensure that the joystick axes are mapped correctly to the
movement and camera controls. Some joysticks / game-pads can have analogue
buttons which behave in a similar way to analogue sticks – if these are mapped

to the camera controls then the game may not function as expected e.g. camera
spinning constantly.
