5 to Life
README file
Part 1: Things You Should Know
Please read through the DirectX section of this document. This section has information that is vital to successfully running 25 to Life on your system
1.1 DirectX
This game is optimised for Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c. In order for you to play the game, you must have DirectX 9.0c compliant drivers for your video card and sound card. Please note that although DirectX 9.0c is installed with the game, your video and sound card drivers will not be upgraded to DirectX 9.0c drivers
You will need to obtain the latest DirectX 9.0c drivers from your card manufacturer or PC supplier. These drivers cannot be supplied by Eidos
1.2 Memory and Performance
While the game will run fine in 256MB of RAM, your playing experience will be smoother if you have at least 512MB
Regardless of how much memory you have, you can maximize your available memory and increase the overall performance of the game engine by doing the following:
* Closing any open windows
* Shutting down all other programs, including menu-bar programs like ICQ, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc
* Defragmenting your hard drive
Eidos recommends that you have no other programs running at all while playing 25 to Life. Other programs, including system utilities and screen savers, can cause system degradation when playing games, and may conflict with the game for system resources, potentially resulting in instability and crashes
1.3 Known Issues
o If you are having trouble connecting, make sure that ports UDP 4659 and UDP 30125 are open on your firewall or router. If your PC is behind a router, visit your router manufacturer s website and download and install the latest firmware for your router model
o Alt-Tabbing may cause instability and performance issues during gameplay, and is not recommended
Eidos is committed to providing customer support for our games on a continuing basis. In that spirit, there may be a patch for 25 to Life forthcoming; visit the Eidos website for more information

Preparing Your Hard Drive
To ensure that your installation is trouble free, you should check to see that your hard drive and file system are both tuned for optimum performance. Windows comes with two utility programs that find and fix any errors and optimise your hard drive performance. The first of these programs is called scandisk. Scandisk will check your hard drive for problems and can fix any that it finds. You can run scandisk by clicking on the Start button from the Windows Taskbar, followed by Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and finally scandisk
Once scandisk has finished running, you should next optimise your hard drive's performance by running a program called Disk Defragmenter. You can run Disk Defragmenter by clicking on the Start button from the Windows desktop, followed by Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and finally Disk Defragmenter
Installing 25 to Life
Installing 25 to Life is easy. Simply insert the disc into your drive. After a few seconds, the Launch Panel will appear with options to Install 25 to Life, Install DirectX 9.0c, View Readme, and Quit. Click on Install 25 to Life to bring up the install program
This program will guide you through the remaining process via onscreen prompts. If at any time you are instructed to restart your computer, do so
In the event the Launch Panel does not appear when you insert the disc:
Double-click on the My Computer icon, then double-click on the disc icon, and lastly double-click on the Setup.exe file to bring up the Launch Panel OR:
* Click on the Start button
* Choose Run from the pop-up menu
* Type d:setup in the box provided (where d: designates your disc drive letter)
* Click on the OK button to begin the install program
You will be prompted to select the path and directory to which you wish to install the game on your hard drive. The default is
C: Program Files Eidos25 to Life
You may change this if you wish to
At some point, the Microsoft DirectX 9.0c install prompt will appear if you do not have it on your system already. Please read the on-screen information before selecting an option. You may either choose to install or not install at this time. If the 25 to Life installer detects an active version of DirectX 9.0c on your system, we encourage you to not reinstall DirectX. If the installer does not detect DirectX 9.0c, you must install it before you are able to play 25 to Life (please refer to the next section of this guide before proceeding)
Starting/Loading the Game
Once the install has finished and you have opted to run the game, the Launch Panel will appear on the screen
You will be given the following options:
* Click on the Play 25 to Life button to start the game
* Click Options to view configuration settings
* Click on the Quit button to exit the Launch Panel
If you are going to play the game at a later time insert the disc into the drive. After a few seconds, the 25 to Life Launch panel should appear on the screen via the AutoPlay feature. Now click on the Play 25 to Life button to start the game. There is also a button present to Quit
In the event the AutoPlay feature does not work, you may click on the My Computer icon and then click on the disc icon to bring up the Launch Panel
OR
* Click on the Start button
* Choose Programs from the pop-up menu
* Drag your mouse to the right and click on 25 to Life from the list
* Click on 25 to Life from the ensuing pop-up menu
