Question about Time 2 and display settings

Sweetfiend · 06-22-2004, 05:27 PM

Greetings,

I noted in the instructions for testing Time 2 before purchasing that one should set their display to 16-bit for the test.

Does the full product require this as well, or can I retain my 32-bit setting once I've downloaded and registered the full product?

Many thanks!

Just test the version you have on 32 bit mode and if it works on your system then it will work when you register it.

Excellent, thank you so much!

32-bit reduces the amount of time it takes for the Aquarium to start up if you normally run Windows in 32-bit color. Setting the Aquarium to 32-bit does NOT increase the picture quality since the textures are all already 16-bit.

I see...I didn't realize that, but yes, I normally run windows in 32-bit mode. I just tested it to make sure it runs properly in 32-bit mode, and it does. Happy camper here.

Thanks again!
