== Tips ==

Updating the application.
download/install the apk from the github release page.
Or install / update the app using f-droid.

Change Advanced settings:
To change settings hitting the button "Edit Darkmod.cfg"
You can also use autoexec.cfg to overrule(?) lines in darkmod.cfg.
(but you need to create a file in the darkmod for it)

Performance tweaks
https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Performance_Tweaks

Lower the screenresolution,
See DIII4a settings > graphics > screenresolution > Custom: 640 x 480
Or set in darkmod config or add following lines to autoexec.
seta r_customHeight "640"
seta r_customWidth "480"

Application crashes during loading mission.
No sollution found.
Sometimes restarting the mission helps.

Who gets the blame for graphical issues? DIII4a or Google Android?

[freyk]

Both. But if you got some TDM config-lines to solve the mentioned issues, please let us know.
