Title Screen
There are four options on the title screen: New, Continue, Options and Exit to Windows.
Clicking on New will start a new game. First you must select a character and enter your name. The
character you select will appear on your driver's license but will not affect the game in any other way.
Use the left and right arrows to select a character, then type your name in the box. Press Enter or click
OK when you have finished and you will be taken to the Map Screen.
Click on Continue if you want to load a game that you were playing earlier. A dialogue box will open
up showing the names of all the previously saved games. Click on the name and then click Load to
load it. You will then be taken to the Map Screen.
You get the options screen by clicking on Options.
Options Screens
The options screen allows you to customize some of the game settings. Use the mouse in the options
screen to click on the buttons. The graphics options are useful if you find that the 3D driving is not
running very smoothly. Slower computers, computers with low memory or a low memory graphics
card might have problems processing the graphics in the cities. To speed things up try reducing the
number of pedestrians and reducing the number of cars. If that doesn't work you could try using low
res textures (see the chapter on installation to find out about this) N.B.: If your computer
configuration is lower than the recommended requirements you will not get the smoothest results. If
your computer is below the minimum requirement then we do not guarantee that the game will play
at all.
Use the sound options to change the volume of the music and sound effects. You can also choose
whether you want to be able to listen to the in-game music tracks using the CD-Player (See chapter 3), or whether you want to have the ambient
street sounds while you drive.
You can also access the options screen from the map screens and 3D cities. The in-game options are slightly different, see chapter 3 for more
details.
