Running the game
In order to run this game with hardware rendering I had to edit manually the config file Tachyon.cfg and set the following parameters, asi seems that the game didn't detected it correctly:
[VIDEO] USE_HARDWARE=1 DEVICE=1
also the using following parameters could improve your gameplay
[VIDEO] HW_TYPE=2
if that didn't worked for you try to change the value of the previous settings, valid ranges are 0, 1, and 2.
