This game runs on Windows 7 32-bit/64-bit and older versions of windows
Windows XP 32-bit is recommended for this game.
It is programmed with Visual Basic 6 and uses DirectX8, so the technology is old and has poor support with newer versions of Windows.
Basic troubleshooting1) Disable UAC and make sure you run everything as admin
External Link: Help on how to turn UAC on/off
2) Install the library files with UAC disabled and running as admin. Continue if game crashes with an error.
3) Open elevated Command Prompt
External Link: Help on how to open elevated Command Prompt
4) register the OCX files
In the elevated Command Prompt, register the OCX file with this command:
regsvr32 [PathToGame]/GOREsocketClient.ocx
if you move GOREsocketClient.ocx to your system32 directory, then you do not need to specify a path:
regsvr32 GOREsocketClient.ocx
If registering from the Game Path failed, your only option may be to move the GOREsocketClient.ocx to your system32 directory.
Note: If you have an error with dx8vb.dll, follow the same instructions but using this file instead of GOREsocketClient.ocx
Video troubleshooting
1) In GameConfig.exe, theres an option for Texel offset, enabling this can correct a rendering problem, but it does not occur with every video card. (speed up if disabled)
2)For Windows XP users, the latest version of DirectX may be required. (If you are using Windows vista or Windows 7, skip this step)
External Link: DirectX 9.0c
3) Update your video card drivers.
4) If you are seeing distortions in game, adjust your video driver settings
It is important that some settings should be set to application-controlled.
(example, click here for Nvidia video cards)
5) If problems still presist, It is recommended to avoid CPU and GPU overclocking. Also, do not have any other DirectX applications running with the game.
Game performance problems
1) Make sure that all other programs are not running. Disabling real-time anti-virus or firewall protection can improve game performance.
2) Use the task manager to run the game in High Priority mode.
3) Update all of your hardware drivers to the latest versions from the proper websites.
Lag problems
1) Do not download or upload while playing (torrents or any other p2p networking)
2) Optimize your windows registry
