hi
I just got this cool game from Jay bauls and I hope you guys give him a big pat on the back.
Now i can run this game in 3d primnary software, but not in the above. When I select 3dfx it just locks up on the game starting. I am limited to 800 x 600 so how do I stop the game from locking up in glide? my specs: P2 300, 96 RAM, Voodoo 3 2000 16 RAM and 25 GB HD. Direct 7a and the laterst version of voodoo drivers 1.05. I hope some one can help thanks in advance  ------------------

Ive the same V3 as you. And I have also had probs with the 1.5 drivers. When I reverted to drivers 1.30 it ran fine.IP: Logged |

My voodoo3 would rin for about a minute in 3dfx, then lock up. I only use D3D mow and it works fine. On a positive note, the voodoo3 D3D gave me the same frame rate and looked better! I am used to SDOE doing better in 3dfx...I can only use the latest beta driver, the shipping drivers do NOT work on my system, the install fails. The system says it is installed fine, but I only get vga graphics... ------------------

I have the same video card, and I am working fine now that I downloaded the new 1.05.00 drivers and set them up this way.
In Voodoo3 AGP display properties 3Dfx Advanced Features: OpenGL/Glide, 3D Filter Quality=Automatic, Alpha blending=Sharper, Glide Splash screen=Disabled, Legacy Texture Compression=Enabled, Level of Detail bias=4, Limit Texture Memory=Limit Texture Memory to 2MB, (This Texture Memory to 2MB does not mean your only using 2MB. It is reserving 2MB of your 16 just for Textures.) Maximum Buffer Frames=2 Pending Buffers, Mip Map Dithering=Disabled, Triple Buffering=Disabled. under the the tab called Adapter I have the Refreash rate set to "Optional" This is waht I have the setting set for and I can play for hours in SDOE with out any video problems. now I do have CTD once and a while due to other problems not related to Video give this a try and if it does not work for you you can allways reload your boxed drivers. (after uninstalling your previos new drivers).

I had to reinstall DX7a after I installed the latest release drivers. Everything worked peachy after that.IP: Logged | |
