[What are the system requirements?]

 - Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7
 - 1000+ MHz processor
 - 256 Mb RAM
 - Aprox. 350 Mb free hard disk space
 - OpenGL compatible video card [1]
 - Windows® compatible sound card
 - Keyboard and mouse
 - XInput compatible gamepad for Co-op [2]

 [1] Intel® Graphics is currently unsupported 
 [2] i.e. Xbox 360 Controller or Logitech ChillStream

[Can I distribute TAGAP 2?]

Yes, by all means; Help us to reach global penguin
domination! Internet, FTP, Torrent, floppies or whatever,
just don't charge money for it. It would also be nice if
you'd distribute the latest released version. And if
you're putting up long-term mirror, let us know so we
can add it to the list!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[I want to play co-op but I don't have a XInput pad!]

There is an unofficial emulator program aptly called
XBox 360 Controller Emulator, or X360CE for short.
This software can turn calls from DirectInput compatible
controller into XInput calls and thus makes them work,
not only with TAGAP 2, but also with all modern Games
for Windows titles. 

You can download the software at the project's site on
Google Code; http://code.google.com/p/x360ce

NOTE; Xbox 360 Controller Emulator wasn't developed
by us and as such we can't provide any technical
support regarding it.

[There are only white boxes where objects should be!]

This problem is caused by integrated video cards,
especially Intel Graphics. These video cards usually don't
fully support OpenGL - the API TAGAP 2 uses for
graphics - causing some graphic elements to appear as
white boxes.

Depending on your chipset, there might be new, better
drivers available, so consult the website of the chipset
manufacturer. However, at the moment there is no way
around this problem when using Intel Graphics. If you
are using your work station or laptop and happen to
have better private PC, try running TAGAP 2 on that
instead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Some graphical elements, like fonts, appear screwed!]

It's fault of incompatible video card drivers. If you are
using standard desktop PC, go to the GPU manufacturer
website for new, up-to-date drivers. If you are using a
laptop that's more complicated, as GPU manufacturers'
support for laptop video cards is nonexistent.

Luckily user communities of both ATI and nVidia based
laptops keep working on modified drivers with improved
compatibility. ATI issues can be fixed with DH Mobility
Mod Tool, while home of alternate nVidia drivers is
LaptopVideo2Go. Note, though, that most of these
drivers are not digitally signed and may stop Windows
Vista from showing copy-controlled DVDs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Sound playback is fluttery!]

Try switching the used audio driver. TAGAP 2 supports
both Windows Media Driver and DirectX DirectSound
outputs. Generally DirectX driver is better and more
compliant, but in some cases - again especially with
integrated hardware - Windows Media sound may work
better. If both of them result in faulty playback it's
more likely your sound card drivers being out of date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[The window doesn't expand on start-up!]

We've encountered this problem when using ATI cards
with combination of Windows XP and HydraVision turned
on. Turn it off and everything should work fine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[I messed with settings and the game no longer starts!]

Start the game with command line +safemode 1 (i.e.
"TAGAP2.exe +safemode 1"). That reverts all settings
to the game defaults.
