Troubleshooting
Joystick not Responding within the game, this will be causes if Input Spcoket hasn't been installed in MacOS 9.x, or if within MacOS X, the HID.bundle file is missing from the directory which the WipeOut 2097 application is. Please make sure that any 3rd party device driver have been installed to support your device has been successfully installed.
MacOS X 10.0 displays garbage during first two splash screens. This was a due to a bug in OpenGL; this has been fixed in MacOS X 10.1. You can by-pass the first two screens, by pressing enter, and the game will run as normal.
MacOS 9.0.4 Missing textures throughout of the game, but the 3d models look ok. Install the OpenGL version 1.2.
No Intro movie been played, this due that the intro movie is an mpeg, and requires at least QuickTime 4.0 or later.
Cannot restart a network game try restarting your machine, as sometimes the Netsprocket daemon cannot shut itself down, even though you have requested it to, and when another process tries to start a game of the same type causes the new process to fail. Restarting your machine will make sure that everything has correctly reset.
Choppy Music at the startup using QuickTime, this is because playing QuickTime music and your selected game resolution, there isn't enough cpu around, pressing return to game menus, and the music should return back to normal throughout the game.
