Project Torque FAQ

1. What is Project Torque?
Project Torque is a Multiplayer Online Racing game.

2. How do I get in the beta?
Individual invitations have been mailed out for the Closed Beta. The open beta will be accessible to anyone with an Aeria Games account.

3. When will closed beta start?
The Closed Beta Started 10 August 2007.

4. When will open beta start?
October 8th

5. How much will it cost to play?
All of Aeria Games are free. The game will be free to play, but there will be an Item Mall available for those that wish to enhance their experience.

6. What are the system requirements for Project Torque (OS, Processor Speed, RAM ect...)?
All system reqs are located on the Project Torque website http://project-torque.aeriagames.com/info/sysreq.

7. Will there be a database wipe after closed/open Beta?
There will be a database wipe when the closed beta ends/open beta begins. There will be no database wipe after open beta ends/game is released.

8. Why do 3 of the 5 servers show up as full?
There are only two servers open (Phoebus and Subtropolis). The other 3 are closed and show up as being full.

9. How do I turn the game helpers off?
In the Main Menu select Practice mode, once in the practice mode menu click on your backpack in the lower left hand corner. You will see three skill cards, click on the Expert Card and then hit OK. All game helpers will now be turned off.

10. How do I add my own music to the game?
Many people ask how they can listen to their music in Project Torque. Well, its quite easy. First of all you have to locate your Project Torque installation directory.

For example: C:\Games\Project Torque\.

Inside you will find a folder called music and within this folder is a file called ReadMe.Now. Open this file using either wordpad, notepad or MS word.

ReadMe.Now file reads:
This directory contains the music tracks of the game.
Copy your own music files into the subfolders, 'menu' and 'ingame',
so you can listen to them while you are playing.
Supported file formats: OGG, MP3, WAV

Navigation keys in the game:
----------------------------
',' - Previous track
'.' - Next track
'Num-' - Volume down
'Num+' - Volume up


So basically all you have to do is just put any OGG, MP3 or WAV audio file in either the music/ingame or music/menu folder and listen to your favorite track.

As the folder names state, menu is for any menu section of the game and ingame for when you are in a race.

To listen to the the tracks, you may have to switch to them with the next/previous key as the standard tracks shipped with the game are still available in-game.

11. I got to the point where I see the nProtect dialogs: one goes away within a second the other goes away in about 5 seconds later, and then nothing. What do I do?
Disable ATI Try Tools, Rivatuner, or anything else that may control your refresh rate for FPS (frames per second).

It's not like Last Chaos. If you want a new name, create a new account when OB starts. Smile

Umm...

Some people may have unspent AP points on their account (from promotions or whatever) they are waiting to use, and may not want to be forced to create a new account just for a name.

Why would you create a username if you wanted to be called something different? No harm in having a LastChaos-type name, or a name that's unrelated to PT. Surely people can live with it...

Some of us used our Last Chaos accounts where the username doesn't have to be your in game name.
I agree I could live with it if its not a future option but it would still be a welcome addition to pick your racing name (without having to create a new account).

On a seperate note. I have never been a fan of using the login name as an in game name or for forum name for security reasons. You are giving someone half of your login information.

You need full information to use that account. And that half we are giving, is the easy half, the password is the main secuirty there.

I'm not a fan, I'm just saying, it's not needed.

This may be a feature in the near future (and is actually under development). I know some players want their AP to be able to be used in either PT or LC without the necessity to have a separate account for each.

It's something we're aware of and are trying to get up and running.

P.S. Locking this thread so we can keep it to the standards of an actual FAQ!
