PANZER KILLER - PC
- Eye site is everything...
- Spot them before they spot you... and of course shoot them before they take a shot at you.
- Be quick but take the time to aim properly... missing your target on the first shot could be lethal.
- Do not stand still for long periods of time specially if in the open.
- But do not rush around without paying attention either.
- Situation awareness is everything...
- Pay attention and gain situation awareness whenever possible.
- Even when killed you can learn from your mistakes.
- Peak around blind spots rather than rushing ahead without looking.
- The best tank tactic... find cover, peak shoot and hide back... and again.
- The right amount of caution (situation awareness) and aggressivety will take far into the game.
- The main difference between a tank ace and a dead tanker is situation awareness and reflexes (paying attention and experience will give you both).
- Look out for the HEAVY HITTERS...
- Tigers and Panthers are heavely armored, have much better guns and greater lethal range.
- Hidden 88's are the worst and most lethal.
- Beware that engaging heavy enemy tanks from the front and at a distance is futile... and right-down dangerous.
- Use the terrain features and the scenery obstacles to your advantage.
- Sneak around and shoot them in the back.
- Other tips...
- In big battles let the other guys do some of the work for you (at least at first).
- GOOD LUCK (has nothing to do with it)

This game requires that Microsoft's DirectX version 9.0a or higher be installed on your computer prior to playing the game. For more information please go to How-to FAQ
If you do not already have DirectX version 9.0a or higher installed on your machine, or you need to reinstall for any reason, just follow these steps:
- Get the latest drivers go to: http://www.microsoft.com/directx.
- Download the latest driver/s

- Once downloaded double click the Dxsetup.exe
icon.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

WARNING: While DirectX 9.0a should be able to determine what version of DirectX currently resides on a system and halt the installation if it deems it to be harmful or unnecessary, you should not attempt to install DirectX 9.0a on a Windows system running a more recent version of DirectX.
How to determine what version of DirectX you have installed on
your Windows 95 or 98 system:
- Click Start, then Run.
- In the Open box, type "DXDIAG"
- If the DirectX Diagnostic Tool launches, you are at least
running DirectX 5.0. To see what version, note the bottom line
in the System Information box on the first page, "DirectX
Version". Click Exit in the lower right hand corner of the
window when you are finished.
- If you receive an error that starts with "Cannot find
the file 'DXDIAG'Ö", then click OK, which should return
you to Step 2. Type "DXINFO"
- If this launches a DXINFO program, the left-hand pane contains
information about what version of DirectX is installed, with
the version number in the hundredths slot of the "DirectX
Version (Registry)" entry. (For example, 4.05 is DirectX
5.)
- If you receive the error in Step 4 again, you do not have
DirectX installed on your system. Follow the directions above
to install it.
NOTE: Many of the problems our customers have with this game stem from a system using a video card with not enough Video RAM on it. Please be SURE your video card has at least 64 MB of Video RAM, or this game will not work! Contact your computer or video card manufacturer if you need help determining if your video card meets this requirement.
"The Installer starts to copy files, but then just
quits to the desktop."
Make sure that you have enough hard drive space available on your system before installing. If you don't have at least 100 Megabytes free, the game can't install.
"I
receive an error message stating that I do not have enough memory
to run the game."
This will occur if the system does not have the required amount of RAM in order to run the game. Baghdad Central: Desert Gunner requires a system with at least 64MB of RAM in order to run. You should ensure that all background applications are closed when you install, and check the rest of the system components such as the video card to make sure they also meet the minimum requirements for the game.
To learn how to shut down all unnecessary applications, please refer to our Windows ME/2000/XP General Troubleshooting FAQ.
"I
receive an error message: 'Error Move Data Process 115'."
This error comes up during the installation process when you
a) have selected the root directory of a drive as the install
point, or b) do not have enough free drive space to run the game.
To fix this, make sure you are installing the program to an actual folder on your hard drive (or go with the suggested defaults), ensure that all background applications are closed when you install, and make sure you have the 100 MB free on your hard drive that the program requires for installation.
To learn how to shut down all unnecessary applications, please refer to our Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP General Troubleshooting FAQ.
"I
receive an error message about a missing DDRAW.DLL, D3D.DLL,
or DSOUND.DLL file."
This is an indication that DirectX was not successfully installed.
You should try reinstalling DirectX.
To learn how to reinstall DirectX, please see the "DirectX Installation" portion of this FAQ, or to Updating Direct X.
"I
receive an error message that reads "Cannot create primary
surface."
If you are receiving this error, there is a good chance your video card does not have enough memory on it to properly run this game. Baghdad Central: Desert Gunner requires a video card with at least 64 MB of RAM onboard in order to function properly. Please check with your video card documentation or the card's manufacturer to determine if your card meets the requirements to play the game.
For more information on solving video problems, please see our Windows ME/2000/XP General Troubleshooting FAQ.
"During Launch, the screen just turns black or quits
back to Windows without any error message."
"The
game randomly freezes, crashes, or locks up the computer."
First, shut down all other applications that may be running on your computer. Other applications can interfere with the game's operation. For instructions on how to do this, please see our Windows ME/2000/XP General Troubleshooting FAQ.
If this doesn't help, then the software drivers that Windows
uses to communicate with your hardware may be out of date, or
incompatible with the game. Install the latest DirectX compatible
drivers available for your video and sound card from the card's
manufacturer. If you have already updated to the latest driver
version from the manufacturer and the problem persists, you may
want to see if reference drivers are available from the video
chip manufacturer. Reference drivers are usually more standardized
than the manufacturer's versions and may work better with a wider
variety of games.
For more information on this topic and contact information on a wide variety of hardware vendors, please see How-to FAQ.
"I can't hear any sound or music in the game."
First, check your speakers to make sure that they are turned
on, connected properly to the rest of the system, and that the
volume controls are turned up. If they are, then check your windows
volume controls by clicking on the small yellow speaker icon
on your taskbar.
If you have already tried the solutions above and still can't
hear sound, then you'll need to update your sound card drivers
to the latest versions available.
For more information on updating your drivers, please see our How to Update Your Drivers.
This game uses Microsoft's DirectX for all graphics and sound effects. It cannot run properly unless DirectX version 9.0a or higher is installed on your computer. It may also exhibit problems if the video card and/or sound card in your computer are not 100% DirectX compliant.
If this problem occurs, then you'll need to update your video and/or sound card drivers with the latest versions available from the manufacturer. For more information on this topic and contact information on a wide variety of hardware vendors, please see our How to Update Your Drivers.
"I've encountered a problem that was not mentioned
in this document."
- REBOOT your computer after installation, especially if you
needed to install or update DirectX. Several updated system files
are copied to your hard drive during installation, which can't
take effect until you reboot.
- Make sure that your system meets the minimum system requirements
as listed on the box and at the top of this document. If your
system does not meet or exceed the minimum requirements, it will
run poorly, or not at all.
- Shut down all other programs that you may have running on your system before playing. Other programs can interfere with the operation of the game. For detailed instructions on shutting down all of your other applications, please see our WindowsME/2000/XP General Troubleshooting FAQ.
- Make sure you have plenty of room left on your hard drive,
or Windows may not have enough room for a swap file. This can
cause some very strange problems. (As a general rule, make sure
you have at least 100 MB free on your C: drive for your swap
file.)
- Try uninstalling, and then re-installing the game.
- Update your drivers (especially video and sound card drivers). You need to go to the manufacturer's web site. Verify that you obtain the latest ones.
- Set a different refresh rate and see if it makes a difference – set it lower (try 60Hz), higher or optimal (Display properties, settings, advanced, adaptor).
- Run Scandisk and defragment your hard drive.
- Get the latest updates for your OS (Windows) from service packs to critical updates.
- Read the manual, readme file and FAQ. Visit the message boards, post messages.
- Download and install patches when and if applicable.
