WE ARE MOVING TO A NEW ISP AND OTHER NEWS

Monday Dec 22 we moved the West coast server to our new ISP Globalcenter. We will be moving the East coast server before Jan 15. Use the Find Servers button to get the new server address. Globalcenter is one one the largest NAP site providers with multiple connections to the Internet backbone.
Score reset will be on Thursday Jan 1 to start the New Year with a new score.

SUBSPACE IS SHIPPING

Pre-order customers should be receiving thier copies of SS within the next few days.

Subspace is also already in EB and will appear in other stores over thanksgiving.
In fairness to those players whose retailers do not have copies immediately the demo players will gradually have abilities rolled back rather than all at once.

1.) Today Tuesday 25th nov all demo players will no longer be able to fly the terrier, weasel & the lancaster.
2.) Tommorrow the 26th we will have a score reset.
3.) Friday 28th Demo players will no longer have thier scores recorded.
4.) December 5th Demo players will no longer have thier names show and will all be named "demo~"

Retail players will of course have all options available.
Users names and passwords WILL be remembered when you upgrade to the retail version so accounts will not be lost.

You should also be aware that lots of new servers will be coming online in the next few weeks so keep updating that favorite.lst.

Thats all. Welcome to all our customers :)

Version 1.32

Another rev before we go final that fixes some graphics glitches.

MISC. INFO.
The game is slated to start shipping the day AFTER Thanksgiving. We will be putting up a Direct Number soon for all of our international customers that cannot use the 888 toll free number.

Scores will be reset November 21st

BUG FIXES 
Banner setting bug is now fixed.
Animation player now improved.
Infamous "cannot allocate surfaces" bug finally fixed. (we hope)

NEW FEATURE
Graphics configuration screen.

This is available in the VIEW menu drop bar in the external game shell (where you pick your zones)

If you are NOT having performance problems DO NOT change any settings.

If someone has a similar card to yours and you want to dupe his settings you can just enter a code that is creted in the box.

if you accidentally change some settings the default code is... 4000-000g-0zw0

With so many new 3D & accelerated graphics cards out there we thought
it would be useful for players to have much more control over there graphics settings.

In the new "Advanced Options" menu you will discover a configurability screen.

Each card will perform differently depending on what you load into system memory (this is all the boxes on the left)
A box that is UNTICKED will attempt to place that item into video memory.

So the boxes you tick are the ones that are not placed on your video card. So if you untick all the boxes
then it will attempt to put everything in video ram. The major one that should usually remain in system RAM is FONTS.


As a rule you will find three configs will work for different cards here.

1.) ALL UNCHECKED
2.) ALL CHECKED
3.) DEFAULT

To the right of the box are some other options....

• Software Emulation - A super advanced feature that does not work with any commercial cards yet. Ignore for the present.
• Skip Splash Screen - Removes the "Subspace" Woosh lettering that zooms up when you launch the app.
• Avoid Page flipping - Most likely to help the Riva chip set and other very powerful cards. Should speed things up greatly for "super" graphics cards.
• Triple/System Buffer - This option has 2 uses. If you ARE page flipping this option makes it triple buffer,
• if you are NOT page flipping then this option forces the back buffer into system memory. This option can cause SEVERE slow downs on many cards so dont use it of your fine.
• Gamma Correct - Allows you to define your own level of gamme correction (in %) The higher the % the more the graphics will wash out. (I have mine set to 90% jeff leaves his at 130%)

Thats it!

Enjoy.
