Requirements

Operating System

CoverDrive has been tested on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. A 1Ghz or faster computer is recommended.

Java

Java 1.1 or better is required to play CoverDrive (we recommend a recent version where possible for the best experience).

In the unlikely event that this isn't already installed on your computer, you can download it absolutely free by following this link..

Connection

Broadband is recommended, but if you are patient you can run the game on a dial-up connection.

We have incorporated caching technology so that subsequent visits to the game will leave you waiting less time.

Firewall

If you have a firewall installed on your computer (for example, Zone Alarm, Norton etc), please ensure that Java is able to make an outgoing TCP connection (ports 43600 and 43601) to the Internet.

Please consult your firewall manual for instructions. If your firewall is blocking the connection, this may prevent you from logging in or accessing the online chat.
