---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following information applies to WINDOWS 95

TOPIC: MECHWARRIOR II FOR 3D RAGE, INCORRECT SCREEN SIZING IN COMBAT DISPLAY

---------------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT: 3D RAGE, 3D XPRESSION

APPLICATION: ACTIVISION MECHWARRIOR II FOR 3D RAGE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: The COMBAT screen of MechWarrior can not be adjusted
using the DISPLAY PROPERTIES, ADJUSTMENT tab.


DETAILS: While the introductory screens and videos for
MechWarrior run in a window on the WINDOWS 95 desktop,
the COMBAT ("cockpit") screen runs at a full screen
512x384 resolution.

This behaviour CANNOT be changed. The resolution setting in "Display
Properties" has NO AFFECT on the combat display. Color depth is also
NOT AFFECTED by the settings in "Display Properties".

The refresh rate for the 512x384 resolution is NOT adjustable by any
means. It is fixed at 70Hz.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION: If problems are encountered with the sizing and
positioning of the MechWarrior combat screen the
MONITOR CONTROLS for SIZE and POSITION must be
adjusted. (Digitally controlled monitors with memory
should be able to store parameters for the mode.)

After the combat screen is positioned properly it may be necessary
to re-adjust the WINDOWS 95 DESKTOP screens using the DISPLAY
PROPERTIES, "ADJUSTMENT" tab.
