[. . . ] 12. 05. 35 2:48 am Had a strong glass of bourbon and crashed hard tonight, despite the noise on the street. I guess you get used to it after a while living in Freeport, but something was definitely different out there. Thats what must have caused my strange dream. I want to get it down on paper but its so tough to put into words. [. . . ] Verite OpenGL: Uses the Verite OpenGL driver on systems that have a Rendition V2100 or V2200 chipset. R i v a O p e n G L : U s e s t h e R i v a 1 2 8 O p e n G L d r iver on systems that have a Riva128 chipset 3D accelerator. ATI Rage OpenGL: Uses the OpenGL driver on systems with an ATI Rage Pro 2D/3D accelerator. ***IMPORTANT: We do not recommend selecting O p e n G L w i t h s y s t e m s t h a t d o n o t h a v e h a r dware acceleration or OpenGL installed. Video Mode: Selects the desired screen resolution for playing Sin. Note that not all graphics cards and 3D accelerators support all listed resolutions. Texture Mode: The texture mode determines c o l o r d e p t h o f t h e t e x t u r e s . B e t t e r q u a lity often results in lower performance. 8-bit texture support is available on some graphics chipsets such as the 3Dfx Voodoo. Enabling 8-bit textures reduces visual quality in exchange for better overall performance. ***IMPORTANT: We recommend you use the Texture Mode setting if you have the appropriate hardware and want to increase the performance of Sin. Full Screen: This selects full screen or windowed rendering. Full Screen mode availability is dependent upon the type of graphics adapter installed. Full screen software rendering requires the presence of Microsoft DirectX (supplied on the CD). S c r e e n S i z e : T h e s c r e e n s i z e s l i d e r c o ntrols the size of the game area on the screen. Reducing the screen size will usually result in higher performance. B r i g h t n e s s : T h e b r i g h t n e s s s l i d e r c o ntrols the brightness of the screen. Its 54 55 effects are immediate in Software mode. When using OpenGL, select Apply Changes after modifying brightness. Apply Changes: Selecting this option "applies" any modifications you made to your video configuration. Reset to Defaults: Resets all of the video options to their default settings. Advanced Video Options: This allows you t o c h a n g e v a r i o u s s p e c i a l e f f e c t s s e ttings within the game.
