  - Cyrix M2 - Unfortunately Cyrix M2 processors are not powerful enough to run the game. Only Intel and AMD processors are supported.
  - Users are advised to refrain from minimising the game using ALT/TAB or any other key combination. If access to the Windows desktop is needed we recommend that the game be quit first.
  - If any sound or video problems are encountered, we recommend updating to the latest sound or video drivers (see below for our list of recommended video drivers). To check which video drivers are currently being used, run DXDIAG (this can be done by selecting the ‘Run’ option on the START menu and typing 'DXDIAG') and select the ‘Display’ tab. This will list the device name and driver version.
  - If problems are encountered when running the game, users are advised to close down all other programs that may be running. Doing this will ensure that Ultra Assault is able to use the maximum system resources available. To check which other programs are open, press the CONTROL, ALT and DELETE keys at the same time. This will bring up a menu titled ‘Close Program’. This menu lists all the programs currently running, a completely clean system should only have Explorer and Systray listed on this screen. N.B. If you are unsure what the programs currently running are, do not close them unless you are having problems running the game (with either game stability or speed).
  - Laptop Systems - Unfortunately we cannot offer support to users with laptop systems. Due to the wide variety of hardware configurations found in laptops, it is not possible to guarantee compatibility. As each laptop machine can have greatly varying configurations of memory, video, sound, keyboard and most importantly internal architecture it is currently not possible to configure a game that is guaranteed to work on all of them.

  ### Video Drivers

  You should ensure you have the latest official release drivers for your video card.

  Drivers can be found at the following manufacturer sites:

  - 3DFX
  - ATI
  - NVidia
  - Matrox
  - S3

  ### Sound Cards

  Ultra Assault should work with all DirectX compatible sound cards. It has been tested and found to work with the following audio chipsets:

  - Aureal Vortex 1
  - Aureal Vortex 2
  - Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16
  - Creative Labs AWE64
  - Creative Labs AWE64 PCI
  - Creative Labs Sound Blaster 128
  - Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live!
  - Yamaha XG

  Comments

  - Users should ensure that they have DirectX 7 or above installed on their system. Earlier versions of DirectX (eg. DirectX 6.1) will run the game, but music may be missing from some levels.

  ### Sound Drivers

- Creative Labs
- Videologic
- Terratec
- Diamond
- Guillemot
- Yamaha

### Joysticks/Gamepads

Ultra Assault can be controlled using any Windows compatible joystick/gamepad with at least 3 buttons. The control buttons cannot be altered within the game. The default button configuration is Button 1=Use, Button 2=Fire, Button 3=Smart Bomb.

USB Controllers - When using USB controllers (eg. Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad Pro) we recommend that users install DirectX 7.0a or higher on their machine. This revision of DirectX includes better support for input devices, and without it USB controllers may fail to work with the game. Please see the DirectX section for more information and links to download sites.

Ultra Assault should work with any DirectInput compatible controller.

### Input Devices

- No Problems were seen when testing the game with standard joysticks and gamepads. With USB controllers DirectX 7a or above must be installed on the machine (more information and links to download the latest version can be found on the DirectX page).
- Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike - If any problems are encountered when running the game on machines with this controller, we recommend that users select the 'Joystick' setting on the controllers properties menu (see the controller's documentation for details on how to change this setting).
- Saitek Sp550 - We recommend that users with this controller play the game with it in a gamepad configuration rather than a joystick configuration to allow multiple button presses.
