AW Tech Support's Tip of the Month

What can I do to improve the performance of Active Worlds?

The single most effective way to improve performance in Active Worlds is to run in either Direct3D or OpenGL hardware accelerated mode. Both of these modes require a modern video card with 3D hardware acceleration, and can provide dramatic performance improvements over the default software rendering mode.

Other things you can do to improve performance are to close other applications while running Active Worlds, add more RAM to your system (especially if you currently have 64 megs or fewer), and to keep your minimum visibility set no higher than 40 meters at all times under the performance settings.
