- Memory: 1 GB of RAM
- For advanced Contact settings, right-click the 3D scene (or the above
red button after Contact is installed) and select Settings, Preferences.
- For music to play, it may be necessary to enable "Load textures in
background" under the General tab. Reload world if no sound is heard.
- Delete cache in Contact to ensure you get the latest world updates or if
you are experiencing issues.
Go to Cache Settings tab. Click 'Empty Cache Now'.
Also, under the Caching tab, deselect 'Cache Internet Worlds'. You may
choose not to do this if your internet connection is slow since caching
can help load the world faster.
- First, take your time. This is media intensive. Do not try to go faster
than your computer and internet connection. Everything will be easier
and work better.
- You may also disable sound and music on the lower left of the next
screen to save bandwidth. Most sound and music will be disabled by
default under low bandwidth condition.
- Try closing other applications and reduce the size of your browser
window if computer performance is an issue.
- Experiment with different Web browsers to see which one works best for
you.
- Some antivirus programs can seriously slow down your computer. Pause
and turn it back on after you exit the world if necessary.
