                        Video Card Troubleshooting
                     =================================
  If you are having problems with your 3D accelerator/video card make
  sure that you have the latest drivers for your card.  We have found
  that installing the latest video drivers solves most of the
  problems that people are reporting.  In order to get the latest
  video drivers for your video card contact the manufacturer.  Most
  manufacturers have web sites with the latest drivers available
  for downloading.

  3D acceleration is only worthwhile if you have a video card that is
  in the same class as today's newer 3D accelerators such as the 3Dfx
  Voodoo or the nVidea RIVA128.  If your 3D accelerator is not in
  this class you will probably get better performance by not using 3D
  acceleration in Virtual Pool 2.

                       Bugs Fixed/Problems Addressed
                     =================================
  Direct3d hardware support has been fixed and enabled.

  In a Straight Pool tournament, computer player verses computer
  player, the higher rated player was always winning.

  If the tournament winner had a long name then sometimes the score
  of the final match was being cut off.

  The computer opponents in general are now slightly easier to beat.

  A problem with restoring the original game after watching a video
  clip has been fixed.

  The load saved game feature was not working with remote play at
  all.

  On some 3D accelerators some polygons were being drawn over and
  were showing up as holes in the table bed, etc.

  3D accelerators that require textures to be square are now
  correctly identified as being incompatible with Virtual Pool 2
  (such as video boards based on the S3 Virge chipset).

  A problem with Miscall during remote play has been fixed.

  When playing a remote game, English Pub rules, if one player fouled
  by not hitting any balls at all, the opponent gets a choice to play
  from D or in place.  After the choice is made if the user then did
  a replay both players would get the choice dialog.  This has been
  fixed.
