General Information
--------------------
If Launcher Screen is Too Large for Screen
-------------------------------------------
If your font size is set to "Large Fonts," the launcher will
appear to be twice as large as it should be and you may not be
able to see all of the launcher buttons. We suggest you set
your fonts to "Small" to see the entire launcher.
To do so:
· Right-click on your desktop
· Click on "Properties"
· Click on the "Settings" tab
· Click on the box under "Font size" near the bottom
· Click on "Small Fonts"
· Click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the window
Desktop Color Palette
---------------------
We recommend that you set your desktop to High Color (16 bit)
color. When playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds with
your desktop set to a color palette other than 16-bit, you
may experience various problems while running the game.
Task Switching
--------------
We recommend that you do not task switch while the opening
movie is running or during screen transitions while playing
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. You may experience various
minor issues when task switching from these locations.
CTRL-ESC
We recommend that you do not use CTRL-ESC while playing
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.
Installing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
Insert the Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds CD into your
CD-ROM drive. The Launcher screen will open automatically
unless Autoplay is disabled. If it does not, double-click
on the My Computer icon, then the CD-ROM icon. This should
bring up the launcher menu. If it does not, double-click
on Battlegrounds.exe in the window that opens. Click on the
top button from the following options and the installer
will guide you through the installation process. Installation
requires 500 MB of free hard drive.
Running Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
----------------------------------------
To run the game, click on your Start Menu, select Programs,
then LucasArts, then Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and click
on Play Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds. This will bring up
the Launcher screen. Click on Start Game on the launcher and
it will begin the game.
Although it is possible to run the executable directly off of
the CD, we recommend that you use the shortcuts the installer
creates in the Start Menu or the shortcut to Star Wars Galactic
Battlegrounds, which is created on the desktop during custom
installation. Running the executable directly from the CD may
cause the game to run more slowly while it accesses the CD much
more often.
