 3 Troubleshooting
==================================================================

3.1 Network play issues
-----------------------

The minimum speed connection for acceptable Internet play performance is
a 33.3K modem connection to your Internet Service Provider.

Known network play issues:
    
  * Some moves requiring rendering may have a 1 second delay before showing any
    visible effect, this delay depends on the time it takes for the server to replicate
    the appropriate information to the client.  This delay is normal.


3.2 Known Problems
------------------

None so far :)


3.3 Documentation
-----------------
Included in the Help section of the UT3 folder is:
  - PsionicStorm_Manual.pdf - An A5 manual for the psionics mutator
