Display
Load
Sea Dogs & select the Options menu.
Render
device. This selects the Display adapter used for rendering Sea Dogs.
Generally you cannot change this setting so leave this alone.
Fullscene
antialiasing. Tick this setting to enable the use of FSAA
(Full scene Anti-Aliasing) on supported graphics cards, such as the Voodoo 5 or
Geforce. This can significantly improve graphics quality by eliminating image
artifacts such as jagged edges. This
page contains screenshots with FSAA On & Off.
Resolution.
Selecting a lower setting will improve performance & maintain a stable,
higher frame rate. Although, higher resolutions will look sharper, they
generally run slower.
Fullscreen.
Tick this setting to enable Sea Dogs to run in full screen mode.
Seeing as you’ll be running the game with a 3D graphics card you’ll
definitely want to leave this enabled.
Low
detail textures. Ticking this setting enables the use of lower
resolution textures in Sea Dogs. You should only do this if you have a slow
system or a video card with 16MB of memory or less. Untick this setting
will enable the use of high resolution textures in Sea Dogs, this will
provide optimal image quality.
Make
sure to take a look at the TNT/GeForce,
Voodoo3 or Voodoo4/5
tweaking guide for information on how to optimize the performance/visual
quality of those cards. These guides can help you improve image
quality/performance even further than in-game tweaks can.
Audio
Load
Sea Dogs & select the Options menu.
Sound
effects. Untick this to setting
to disable the in-game audio from playing. This will improve performance
significantly, but obviously the game will be muted. Leave this setting Ticked
to enable the in-game audio being played. You should have no real reason
to Untick this setting.
Sound
Volume. Use the slider bar here to set the volume level for sound effects in
the game. The further to the right, the louder & vice versa.
