Technical issues
********************************************************************************************
Single player:
Steam and retail versions:
It is not recommended that you install both steam and DVD version of DM on the
same machine.
Make sure to have all latest drivers:
- including your CPU drivers for XP:
AMD:
http://www.amd.com/gb-uk/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871,00.html?redir=SDT303
Intel:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=11454
- Video card manufacturer
- Sound cards
If you have a Nvidia 6 series:
Strangely it seems that some Nvidia 6 series video cards (6800 ultra for
instance) don’t work well on the latest drivers with DM. Reverting to older
drivers 84.21 seems to fix that problem.
If you have the demo installed:
- It seems that it may create a problem for some users. You should uninstall it
prior to installing the game.
- If the game is already installed we advise you to uninstall it, then
uninstall the demo, and then reinstall the game.
Video settings:
If you encounter bad performance or instability:
- Make sure to bring all your visual settings to the minimum,
- Texture quality should be set it to medium or low
- Disabling HDR may be of great help on some systems
- For steam users, make sure to run a file integrity check, maybe some files
got corrupted during the install.
