Q: I have a video card with only 1MB of memory on it. I meet the system requirements otherwise. Can I play BloodRayne??

A: BloodRayne requires a video card with at least 32MB of memory on it. Sorry, you will need to upgrade your video card.

Q: BloodRayne seems really choppy and slow. I have a fairly low system and I was hoping to play...

A: In the Graphics Options Menu try turning your screen resolution down. The default is 640 X 480, but you will get faster frame rates at lower resolutions. Unfortunately, some video cards can have trouble with lower resolutions. If this happens to you, try varying your resolutions in the game to see which resolution gives you the best performance.

Q: I have a 3Dfx based card. Will BloodRayne use this card?

A: Sorry, but no.

Q: 1280x1024 mode runs slow.

A: This mode only runs fast enough on Geforce3 and Geforce4 cards.

Q: The game says that I have less than 200MB of Virtual Memory free. How do I fix this so that BloodRayne runs best?

A: Select Control Panel, then System, then Performance, then Virtual Memory. It is best to change this setting so that Windows manages virtual memory.

Q: Game gives an error message saying that you're out of memory.

A: You need more virtual memory. See previous Q&A for how to change your virtual memory settings.

Q: BloodRayne levels do not load as quickly as I would like.

A: Add more RAM to your computer. The more RAM that you have, within reasonable limits, the faster BloodRayne will load and run.

Q: The dialog skips, pops, or drops out. I have a SoundBlaster Live card. Your box says that it supports this card. What's up with that?

A: You have old LiveWare software and drivers. Visit the Creative Labs web site and download LiveWare 3.0 or higher.

Q: I don't have a SoundBlaster Live card, but I have dialog that skips, pops, or drops out. What about me?

A: You should download and install the latest drivers from your board manufacturer.

Q: Should I use DirectX 8 with BloodRayne?

A: Yes. DirectX8 or higher is required.

Q: I have set up my controls so that I use the keys on the number pad. I can't seem to get combinations of keys to work (i.e. run and jump at the same time). Why?

A: Because of the way the number pad works, it can't understand two keys on the number pad being pressed at the same time. You should reconfigure your controls so you will never need to press two keys on the number pad simultaneously (i.e. run and jump for a running jump).

Q: How do you Uninstall BloodRayne.

A: Go to control panel and select Add/Remove programs.

Q: Do you support Open GL?

A: We currently are working on support. It is functiomal in the demo but it needs tweaking. We will have full support for the final realease.
