Very Important: make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft DirectX (currently 10).
Check you have a 3D video card as the game won't run without one (even a cheap $40 card may be okay).
Check for
program updates
(your current version number will be displayed below the main menu).
If Astrogeddon fails to start at all, or if you are getting problems that are clearly
related to graphics, try downloading the latest drivers for your video card from the
manufacturer's website.
If you are having sound problems, first check you are still hearing sound from other
Windows programs and also that you haven't turned down the volume on the game's Options Menu.
Then try downloading the latest drivers for your sound card from the
manufacturer's website.
If the game is running slowly, reduce the detail level via the Options/Graphics menu.
Try running Windows Update. You should also check your PC is free from
viruses and spyware.
Try re-starting your PC immediately before running Astrogeddon.
If the problem disappears, it is likely some other program you were running
beforehand was failing to tidy up after itself properly.
Try disabling as many background programs as possible in case they are conflicting
with Astrogeddon (eg. wall-paper programs, screen-savers, email checkers).
If the picture is distorted, or if the graphics appear too dark or too washed out,
try adjusting your monitor controls (look for buttons at the front or back of your monitor).
As a last resort, try uninstalling and then re-installing the game.
Still Stuck?
If you encounter a problem which isn't answered above,
please email us.
If possible, attach a copy of the file AGLOG.TXT
which you will find in the same folder as the game (usually C:\Program Files\Astrogeddon).
The program's progress is recorded in this logfile so it may help us
pinpoint where things are going wrong. The logfile is reset each time
the game is run, so make sure you take a copy IMMEDIATELY after the
problem occurs.
