It is important that your system has the
latest drivers and the latest DirectX
in order to enjoy the DevastationZone Troopers experience.
Please update your system if necessary.
:: Performance tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please use some of the following settings to enhance the
game performance:
- Disable antialiasing and anisotropic filtering in your
graphic card properties menu (Control Panel->Display
properties->Settings-> Advanced->"Graphic
Card name"->additional properties).
- Set the vertical sync to always OFF, in your graphic
card properties menu. This could greatly increase the
performance. However, if it is not supported properly
by your graphic card driver, it could also cause game
to "freeze" on some systems.
- Use lower resolutions if action becomes choppy.
- Use 16 Bpp mode and set "default color depth for
textures" in your graphic card properties menu to
"always use 16 Bpp". This setting will greatly
decrease visual quality.
