VIDEO ISSUES
1. Monitors
Please make sure your monitor supports the game resolution you are trying to play in. To check what resolutions your monitor supports, do the following:
a) Open up My Computer
b) Double-click on Control Panel
c) Find the Display icon and open it
d) Choose the Settings tab
e) Locate the resolution pointer in the Desktop or Screen Area box and drag it to the far right
The resolution choice shown is the maximum resolution your monitor is capable of displaying. If you do not want to change to this resolution now, select cancel. Your Desktop Area should be set to the game resolution you are trying to play in or higher.
NOTE: Please make sure your monitor type is properly specified to insure correct reporting of available video resolutions.
2. In-game and Desktop resolutions
In most cases, the X-MEN(TM) : The Official Game Demo should choose the proper resolution for your system based on your processor, system memory, and video card. Changing the game resolution may result in decreased performance or visual quality.
3. Graphical Corruption When Changing Video Settings
Changing the settings on your Video Options menu may sometimes result in temporary color corruption of the screen. These irregularities will disappear when you return to the game.
Flickering may occur in certain video card and monitor settings. Manually raising the refresh rate in which the game runs will alleviate the flickering. 60-75Hz produces the most noticeable results.
4. Windowed Mode
Windowed mode is not a supported feature of the X-MEN(TM) : The Official Game Demo.
5. Changing Brightness and Contrast
On some video cards, changing the Brightness and Contrast levels all the way up or down may produce undesirable graphical results. If this happens, it is suggested that the "set default" option be used to reset these sliders back to their default settings.
6. Specific Video Card Issue : Radeon(R) X700
For the Radeon(R) X700 video card: If you experience instability while playing, turn 'Shadows' OFF in Video Advanced Options.
