3. Troubleshooting

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

3.1. Installing Video Drivers

If you experience any graphical problems, please install the latest video
drivers available for your video card. Links to the most popular video card
manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2. Installating Audio Drivers

available for your sound card. Links to the most popular sound card
manufacturers are available at the bottom of this document.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3. Installing DirectX 9.0c

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter?2 needs DirectX 9.0c or higher to run properly.
To get the latest version of DirectX, please visit:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. Bugs and Comments

Video refresh rate:
Always select the highest refresh rate supported by your monitor. This
ensures a more fluid and visually pleasing game.

**** Sound Compatibility ****

Use of HeadSet (Headphones/Microphone):

- Depending on the setup (operating system DirectX), it
may be necessary to change the hardware acceleration (setup panel > sound >
audio > sound reading > advanced).
- Some drivers apply an effect to sounds read by the PC. For some setups, this
may interfere with the operation of the sound engine.
- With some cards, a half-duplex/full-duplex manual setup is possible. For this
game, the card should be set up for full-duplex.
- As far as the headset is concerned, if the Internet connection is poor, there
is a risk of interference or breaks in voice communication during the game.
- It is often possible to configure sound cards so that they only put out the
sound signal on their digital output. In this event, you should check that this
is compatible with the audio equipment used (you should use a digital amplifier
connected to the digital output). See the sound card manual.
- Check that the input/output cables are correctly connected (2 cables to
connect when using a headset). Do not forget that sometimes there is a volume
control or a switch for the microphone on the headset lead.



**** Graphics Compatibility ****


- If the game is very slow, or the display corrupted, check that anti-aliasing
is not forced at the level of the drivers. If this is the case, deactivate it.
- If your monitor switches to Energy Saving, update the drivers for your
screen.


**** Network Compatibility ****

Problems with Firewalls
If you have a firewall on your Internet connection, check the "Playing on
Gamespy" paragraph.

**** Hardware Compatibility ****

Motherboard drivers and BIOS settings:
If your computer does not respond, check that your motherboard drivers are
up-to-date. If you have carried out changes to BIOS and the game crashes, try
restoring the default settings (or security settings).


****Sticky-keys ****

It is recommended to deactivate the sticky-keys when playing. (Control Panel ->
Accessibility Options -> Keyboard -> Use sticky keys should be unchecked).
Windows Updates while playing may minimize your game and / or make it slower.

3.7.1. AGEIA (tm) PhysX (tm) Release Notes

*) PhysX Usage and Exclusive Benefits

GRAW2 exclusively uses AGEIA PhysX technology to provide interactive physics
effects on the PC. The PhysX engine operates on any PC system to provide
overall game-play and effects physics. Beyond this, the game is designed to
take full advantage of the AGEIA PhysX Processor - the world's first and only
dedicated PC physics accelerator.

Gamers with PhysX cards get access to enhanced and exclusive bonus content in
addition to the game-play and effects standard to the software PhysX engine.
In particular, card owners unlock: ?AGEIA Island? - a level designed for a more
extensive physics experience showcasing fully realistic and interactive
environments possible only with PhysX acceleration.


*) Settings and Performance

There are three levels of PhysX adjustable via a drop-down sub-menu in the
game-menu: "Options->Video->Advanced Settings". These levels offer variable
scale and sophistication of environmental physics and interaction.

At run-time, the game will automatically detect for the existence of a PhysX
card and default to: "Normal" if no PhysX accelerator is detected and to:
?PhysX High? when a card is detected. The ?PhysX Extreme? option is available
for users willing to push physics to the limit on the most powerful systems
with PhysX hardware. Gamers are recommended to leave these settings at their
default levels or go lower if they experience performance issues. A dual-core
PC plus PhysX card is highly recommended to play missions at: ?PhysX High?.


All game physics is exclusively based on AGEIA PhysX SDK v2.7.1. The
corresponding system software (driver) is distributed with the game. For the
latest drivers and more news and information on GRAW2 and PhysX including
exclusive bonus content, users are encouraged to visit: www.ageia.com.
