Subject: Truespace Optimization 2005-06-20 - By Steven Newnham

Hmmmmmm....I thought I was sending in plain text - here's another without
Matt's HTML chunk - let's see if it comes through any clearer...
Assuming you are running in DirectX mode and not OpenGL, make sure that
within trueSpace you are using the "Direct 3D HAL" device and not the "RGB
Emulation" device (right click the DirectX icon within trueSpace to see the
settings it is using) - the HAL uses your hardware graphics accelerator, RGB
Emulation does not.
I've noticed that trueSpace periodically reverts to RGB Emulation for some
reason (may be when a new video driver is installed).
