V. 	TROUBLESHOOTING

1. VIDEO
First of all, check that your computer is fully compliant with the hardware
requirements. SCAR requires a 3D card with at least 64 MB of video memory.
The install process checks that DirectX is properly installed and eventually
updates it with a later, compatible version if needed. In order to solve any
graphic issue, first try to install updated video card drivers, available on
the manufacturer web site. If it doesn't solve the problem try to uninstall
and reinstall the software. If that fails, contact the customer support
service.
To help you to improve your performance, try to change the video resolution
or the refresh rate of your monitor. If the game's frame rate drops, try to
reduce the video effects like the depth of field and/or the cubic enviroment.
You may experience problems during the game if you have a CPU processor that
does not support SEE istruction set.

2. AUDIO
Should you experience audio problems, please use the following settings:
Mixing Hardware: Off
Reverbs: Off
Voices Number: 32

3. GAME CONTROLLERS
SCAR supports DirectX 9.0c compatible game controllers, properly installed and configured for Windows applications. Please refer to hardware manual for installation instructions.
Finally, configure the proper axis and buttons assignments by selecting the Configuration entry in the Controller options screen of SCAR.
