NiBiRu installation

I just got the game, have installed it, but not yet started play. I did
notice a problem on my system which I want to pass along as it may help
others.

I have a Athlon XP 2500+, and a Ti-4200 8x AGP system. The game by
default has anti aliasing engaged. I immediately noticed that the
introductory scenes were running like cold honey. No changes made with
the nVidia driver settings made any improvement. It was necessary to
turn off anti aliasing within the game.

Owners of more powerful video cards may not experience this problem but
the Ti-4200 is no slouch. This game looks like it will put a strain on
many video systems.

Installed the game just tonight. Didn't have any problems with the default
antialiasing (GeForce 5950 Ultra), but I was dismayed by the lack of options
in the options menu. AA, shadows, subtitles and volume -- that's it. No
screen resolution settings? EAX?

Oh well, it still looks pretty dang good...

I installed the game and didn't have any trouble with the introductory
scenes. I left anti aliasing on and chose full shadows and put the text
on. I did notice the introductory cut scenes were slow between what
Martin said and what the other guy said if thats what you mean. Same
when I got into the game. If you click on any key, the conversation
moves faster, but I found I missed some of the conversation by doing
this, so I just let the conversations play through after that.

I have Athlon XP 2200 and ATI 9000 Pro with 128 MB memory. Do you have
128MB memory on your video card? The recommended requirement says P3 -
1.2 Gig or equivalent. I wonder what AMD XP 2200 is equivalent to in
terms of 1.2G. ? Game just says for video card to be DirectX 9
compliant.

Mary,

One, of the few, options available is to speed up the subtitles. I turned
the slider all the way up and now there is no slow down between dialogues.

I took your suggestion and its not slow any more, and the lip syncs
match the text now.
Thanks very much G.

Oh oh, mine is a P4 2.0, Geforce 440MX 64 MB and a SB-Live. I hope it will
match the specs.

Recommended specs:
P3 - 1.3 G
Video 64 MB DirectX 8.1 (Sytem requirements 32 MB video, DirectX 8.1
compatible).
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card.

I use Sblive and an AMD XP 2200 CPU, and 128MB ATI video card.

I would think you should be OK.

You should do just fine. Once you get through the intro, you might want to
turn off antialiasing (or, not) and certainly push the subtitles speed up to
full, if you like having the subtitles turned on.

I notice when I exit the game, when I play the game next time, the game
hasn't saved the subtitles slider which I set all the way to the right,
so I had to set it again. Also, I had shadows set at Full, and that went
back to medium or whatever it was. Did that happen to you? Also, did you
notice that therer are only 4 saved games. You really don't need any
more, but I can't remember seeing a game with just 4 saved game spots.

You can save more than four games. Look at the slider centered between
the left and right saved game thumbnails. Use it to move through the
saved games or to unsaved windows.

Phew! ;-) Thanks for your reaction and yes, i like the subtitles on if the
option exists. English is not my native speech, so it is helpful.
