Data verification date _______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Installing the game using "Autorun" a) Installing FIFA 2002 The easiest method of installing FIFA 2002 is to use the "Autorun" feature. Upon inserting the FIFA 2002 CD into your CD-ROM drive, and selecting the language in which you wish to install, the game will bring you to the FIFA 2002 "Autorun" Screen. From here, select "Install" to launch the FIFA 2002 InstallShield Wizard. Note: In territories where language selection is not an option, the first screen will be the "Autorun" screen. Select "Install" to launch the FIFA 2002 InstallShield Wizard. b) Minimum Hard drive space required It is important to note that you must have a minimum of 80 MB hard drive space free to run the game (for "Compact" installation). This includes space for the game installation, swap file, and DirectX 7.0a installation. c) If your "Autorun" feature is disabled If for some reason your "Autorun" feature is disabled, you can install the program by running AUTORUN.EXE directly from the root directory of the CD. Note: Manually performing a second FIFA 2002 install (by running SETUP.EXE in the "\Setup" directory on the CD) before uninstalling the original game files is not recommended. More specifically, installing into the same location twice can cause the game to malfunction. To avoid problems, the "Autorun" feature should be used for all installs and uninstalls. 2. New options on "Autorun" screen after install After you've successfully installed the game, you may notice that the "Install" button is no longer visible on the "Autorun" screen. In addition, several new buttons will appear, namely: "Play" - launches FIFA 2002. "Uninstall" - See section 4 for details on uninstalling the game. "Register" - if you did not register your copy of the game during the install process, you can do so by selecting this button. 3. DirectX If you try to run the game without DirectX installed, the program will not function. For FIFA 2002, the minimum supported version of DirectX is DirectX 7.0a. For your convenience, we have included DirectX 7.0a on the FIFA 2002 CD. Note: If you already have DirectX 7.0a (or higher) installed, it is not necessary to reinstall it. a.) Installing DirectX directly from CD (if you skipped it during game install) FIFA 2002 comes with DirectX 7.0a and will prompt you to install it during the installation process. If you would like to install it manually, make sure the FIFA 2002 CD is in the CD-ROM drive, and access the following path on your CD-ROM drive: "\DirectX\DXSETUP.EXE" Double-click on DXSETUP.EXE to begin DirectX 7.0a installation. b.) DirectX 7.0a and Windows 2000 During the installation of FIFA 2002 on a PC with Windows 2000, you will be prompted to install DirectX 7.0a. Select "No" and proceed with the installation. DirectX 7.0a will not be installed, however the game will still function correctly. c.) DirectX and supported hardware We recommend that FIFA 2002 be run with DirectX compatible sound cards and video cards. While there is a good chance that FIFA 2002 will run with non-DirectX compatible hardware, you may find that: i) Sound quality suffers. ii) The game runs slightly slower. iii) The game does not run at all. If your sound card or video card does not support DirectX, please contact your vendor. d.) Notes regarding Windows 95B and DirectX 8.0 In order for DirectX 8.0 to be installed on a PC with Windows 95B, you will need to install Dcom95. Dcom95 can be found on the FIFA 2002 CD. To install, double-click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop, right-click on the FIFA 2002 icon and select "Explore." Open the folder called "dcom95" and double-click on the application called dcom95. 4. Uninstalling FIFA 2002 The simplest method of uninstalling FIFA 2002 is to use the "Uninstall" button on the FIFA 2002 "Autorun" screen. You may also use the Uninstall shortcut in the Start Menu, which can be found at the same location as the shortcut used to launch the game (usually "Start Menu/Programs/EA Sports/FIFA 2002") Windows also has an "Add/Remove Programs" Icon in the Control Panel that you can use to uninstall the game. 5. Memory requirements a.) Memory requirements in Windows FIFA 2002 requires a minimum of 32 MB of RAM to run. If there is more memory available, you will experience better game performance in all areas. Note: Windows 2000 requires 64MB of RAM to run and Windows XP requires 128MB of RAM to run. b.) Running the game under stressful Windows conditions At Electronic Arts we strive to bring you the best in graphics, audio and gameplay. We are always pushing the envelope of computer performance. While we have made every effort to ensure that FIFA 2002 multi-tasks with all Windows applications, we recommend that you shut down other applications (including virus scanners) and run FIFA 2002 by itself when possible. 6. Improving Game Speed There are several ways by which you can speed up the overall FIFA 2002 experience: a.) Choose a larger install - the more data that is on your hard drive, the less time your PC needs to spend accessing the CD. b.) Adjust the Detail Level in the Render Options on the Options screen - this allows the user to reduce graphical quality in order to achieve better performance. c.) Disable the radar on the Options screen. d.) Select the "On the Pitch" sound effects mix on the Options screen. For Windows 95 and 98 users: FIFA 2002 performance under Windows 95 and 98 will be enhanced when DMA access is enabled for the hard drive and CD ROM. If DMA is not enabled you may experience frequent short pauses during gameplay. To ensure that DMA is enabled, follow these steps: i) Open up the control panel from the Settings menu in the Start menu. Double-click on the System icon. Select the Device Manager tab. Open the CDROM selection, highlight the device, and click the Properties button. Select the Settings tab and ensure the DMA checkbox is checked, then click the OK button. ii) Now, while still in the Device Manager, open the Disk drives selection, highlight the hard drive device, and click the Properties button. Select the Settings tab. Ensure the DMA checkbox is checked, then click the OK button. iii) Now click the OK button to close the device manager. If DMA access to the CD ROM or hard drive was not previously enabled, you will have to restart your computer. 7. Hot Keys The following hot keys can be used to access certain functions more quickly: In the Front End (before you get to the game) F10 - Chat (Multiplayer only) F11 - Quit/Disconnect (Multiplayer only) F12 - Exit to Windows In the game ESC - Pause Menu F1 - Team Management F2 - Instant Replay F3 - Match Facts F4 - Options F5 - Side Select F10 - Chat (Multiplayer only) F11 - Quit/Disconnect (Multiplayer only) F12 - Exit to Windows 1 - Tele Cam 2 - Tower Cam 3 - End to End Cam 4 - Sideline Cam 5 - Panoramic Cam 6 - Action Cam 7 - Dynamic End Cam 8 - Swing Cam 9 - Radar 8. Keyboard, joystick and mouse functionality You must use the mouse to navigate the game interface. Click on buttons and icons to select modes and options. The keyboard is available to enter information or send chat messages when playing other users via modem or network. The "chat" feature is available in all Multiplayer modes by pressing the F10 key (to open/close the dialogue box) and using the Keyboard to type your message. Joysticks/gamepads will not operate until you are in a game, except on the side select screen. When you are on this screen, you must move whichever input device you plan to use in the game to the left or the right to select your team. The game will automatically detect the type of device it is and a graphic will display depicting it. Please note that you may have to recalibrate your controllers with each new install in order to have the game detect them correctly. Some buttons may be reversed on a few USB plug and play gamepads. If the gamepad manufacturer has provided software with the device, installing it may correct the problem. You can also use the Control Options to remap your gamepad. We highly recommend the use of a 360º analog gamepad such as the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad Pro, Logitech Wingman Rumblepad, Gravis Eliminator Gamepad Pro USB, Gravis Xterminator or Interact Axis Pad. To bring up the in-game pause menus, you can press the Start button (if your gamepad has one) or press ESC and then navigate with the mouse again. ALT-TAB is not supported in FIFA 2002. Refer to the "Control Summary" card included in the FIFA 2002 jewel case for more detailed information on the in-game play controls. 9. Modem Call Waiting We recommend that call waiting be disabled, as we have experienced some problems with it during modem games. Specifically, call waiting can disrupt modem games already in progress. 10. Notes on Internet Matchmaker You must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape 4.08 (128-bit), Compuserve 2000 or AOL 4.0 (or higher) installed for Internet Matchmaker to launch correctly. You can download updated browsers from: Netscape: http://www.netscape.com/download/index.html?cp=djuc1 Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm Online game play for FIFA 2002 will be available only until October 30, 2002, subject to online terms of use, and all features may not be available at the time of purchase. Please check online at http://www.easports.com/ for more information and terms of use. 11. AOL IP Information On an AOL dial-up connection the IP information provided on the Direct IP screen is the "AOL Dial up Adapter" and may or may not be the correct IP address of your machine. To get the correct IP address you must return to Windows. From the START menu click RUN. Type in 'winipcfg' and get the IP information for the "AOL Adapter", NOT the "AOL Dial-Up Adapter". Use the "AOL adapter" IP information as your IP address. Note: To get the correct IP address in Windows 2000, you must return to Windows. From the START menu click RUN. Type in 'cmd /k ipconfig' and get the IP information for the "AOL Adapter", NOT the "AOL Dial-Up Adapter". Use the "AOL adapter" IP information as your IP address 12. Notes on video card chipsets If you are experiencing problems with your video card and FIFA 2002, try updating your video card driver by downloading the latest driver available from the video card manufacturer. If there is no improvement, try using the latest driver provided by the video chipset manufacturer. Your video card chipset is the video processing chip located on your video card. If there is no information in your video card manual or website, check the video card for an identifying chip with the chipset manufacturer's name on it. Some popular video chipset manufacturer's websites are listed below: NVIDIA http://www.NVIDIA.com/ 3DLabs http://www.3dlabs.com/ Matrox http://www.matrox.com/ Intel http://www.intel.com/ ATI http://www.ati.com/ S3 http://www.s3graphics.com/ 3Dfx http://www.3dfx.com/ 13.
