| For all Duke fans who want to play the game again in a modern Windows / Linux |
| environment with 3D accelerated graphics, the Duke3D community has created the |
| High Resolution Pack (HRP). Utilizing the amazing skills of various texturing |
| and modelling artists, the project's goal is to replace all textures and sprites |
| with high-res versions, optimizing it for latest OpenGL ports. |

| Atomic (v1.5) CD-ROM. You can also play with the shareware version available |

| POLYMOST COMPATIBILITY OPTION: |
| For players who are unable to use the advanced Polymer renderer (e.g. because |
| they experience graphics issues or their graphics card simply cannot handle it), |
| they experience graphics issues or their graphics card simply can't handle it), |
| please deactivate (= untick) the "Polymer" checkbox in the EDuke32 launcher and |
| run the game with this parameter: -hduke3d_hrp_polymost.def |
| > Example: E:\Duke3D\eduke32.exe -hduke3d_hrp_polymost.def |

| Alternatively, and if you want to run mods like DukePlus, using the |
| Polymost Override Pack (put into the autoload folder) is the recommended way of |
| running the Polymost HRP mode. A matching version of this pack should be |
| available soon after any HRP release. |

| IMPORTANT! |
| ---------- |
| Please note that all HRP v5.x contents has been optimized for usage with Polymer |
| renderer. This means that if you use the older Polymost renderer, you WILL |
| encounter problems (HUD weapons rendered incorrectly or other display glitches). |
| Polymer requirements offer advanced graphics effects but demand much better |
| hardware. |

| Although we tried hard to eliminate or avoid any glitches, unfortunately |
| Although we've tried hard to eliminate or avoid any glitches, unfortunately |
| some of them could not be removed in this release. Here are those we know of: |
| |
| - Current EDuke32 problems (might get fixed in future versions): |
| 173,7 → 175,11 |
|---|
| > The startup screens are not optimized for widescreen resolutions and |
| might show black stripes on both sides and possibly some distortions, |
| depending on your display. |
| > EDuke32 (current version is r4565) does not make use of the HRP's |
| maphack file hierarchy yet. Therefore, the UserMapHacks pack needs to |
| be downloaded to make use of the already existing user map maphacks. |
| |
| |
| - Rarely you will still find props, pickup weapons or the like that are |
| clipping into walls, often preventing you from seeing them completely. |
| Maphacks can fix these glitches, so don't hesitate to report anything you |
