  1. When I press the Function keys (F1-F19) nothing happens. How do I use the Function keys in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars?

    By default, Mac OS X uses the F keys to control items such as volume and brightness. To use an F key for a game command hold down the fn key, then press the F key you wish to use.

    To automatically enable the F keys, follow these steps:

    1. Open System Preferences ( MenuSystem Preferences).

    2. Click on Keyboard or Keyboard and Mouse (depending on the version of Mac OS X you are running).

    3. Select the Keyboard tab.

    4. Check the Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys checkbox.

    The F keys will now work without using the fn key.

  4. Can I play this game on a Case-Sensitive File System?

    No. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars has been tested with the basic formatting option for Mac OS X, which is HFS+. This system is not case-sensitive and identifies files by name without checking capitalisation.

    The capitalisation of filenames is not consistent throughout the game. While this will not always prevent the game from running on case-sensitive file systems, it may lead to crashes and other unpredictable behaviour.

    If you have to run a case-sensitive setup and you experience problems with LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, please install the game on a standard formatted partition or read/write disk image. In most cases this will allow you to play the game on your machine.

  5. How do I take screenshots in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars?

    To take screenshots while playing LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars you should use the following key command:

    Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + P

    When you press all three keys at once, a single image of the on-screen contents will be saved to your Desktop. The picture will be in JPEG format and will be called LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Picture 1.jpg. If you take more than one picture, the numbering will increase by one per screenshot. The JPEG image contains metadata in a string in the following format.

    GameName/Version Number (OS Version; CPU Speed; Installed RAM; Video RAM; Current Graphics Card)

    For example in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars the string might look a little like this:

    LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars/1.0 (Mac OS 10.6.2; 2.8; 2.0 512; Radeon HD4870)

    This information can be easily removed by exporting the screenshot into a different format using Preview or another image editing tool.

    Note: None of the metadata stored can be used to identify the user.
