Common problems and solutions
 

General

If game doesn't run or crashes frequently...
1. Check that you're not running any other Windows progarms when running SF5. Other Windows programs can affect SF5 performance and stability.
2. There must be at least 6MB of free space on the install-drive after the game is installed. Game won't run otherwise.
3.  Check your sound card compatibitity with Sound Blaster Pro standard. If the game crashes with sound on set JPXi SOUND SYSTEM MODE in the OPTIONS menu to COMPATIBILITY MODE. If this doesn't help set it to SOUND OFF.
4. Run the game in plain DOS. Altough SF5 is developed and tested to be 100% compatible with Win95 there might be computer-specific issues that no one can be aware of. Just configure a shortcut for SF5.BAT and set it to run in MS-DOS mode (PREPERTIES/PROGRAM/ADVENCED/check MSDOS MODE)

Sound/Video

If there is no sound...
1. Check your sound card compatibitity with Sound Blaster Pro standard. Altough this game has been successfully tested with several types of SBPRO clones I can only gurantee that SF5 works with Sound Blaster Pro and 100% compatible cards. Note, that newer Sound Blasters like 64PCI, 128 and LIVE and many other Win95/Pnp-only sound cards are not 100% SBPRO compatible and hence there is no gurantee of sound whatsoever.
2. Run the game in plain DOS. Many SBPRO clone/emulating cards work better in DOS than in Win95 command prompt.

If the movies don't run at a stable framerate...
Defragment the harddisk you've installed SF5, and make sure you have at least 24MB available of memory in the command prompt.

Graphics issues...
SF5 doesn't currently run properly on FAST ALPHA option set to ON. JP-Production is still looking into this issue.
