I will be play the game offline or online for about 10 to 15 minutes with great graphics, and then I see bizarre mixed distorted colors (lots of greens) on the ground textures, then sometimes the plane will change color(s.)If I’m lucky I can leave the mission but most times I freeze solid in the middle of a game frame totally locked up the sound replaying the last wave sequence over and over again. I have the fog down to 5 miles, I have gone into video performance and lowered the setting, in the game I have lowered the texture settings. I have 90% resources when I start a mission on a Pentium 3 550MHz, and a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP video card with the newest drivers (1.05) I have also placed a fan on the video card to cool it down, all on a Intel VC820 system board with with 128MB RDRAM, I have plenty of space (20GB) on my hard drive too. Any help would be helpfull...

Von...this won't be much help, but I know Sv had a similar problem with his Voodoo 3; I believe he has it fixed now by running in D3D rather than Glide. If you already do that, then maybe try deleting your texture cache files...there are 2, forget exact names but they are very large. I had that happen to me again last night, and I use a older Voodoo2 accelerator....but I had just installed the Midway terrrain, and I usually delete and rebuild these files when I do something like this. I hadn't yet...am gonna do that today.In fact, it may not be a bad idea to do this once a month or so anyway - I had to do it about 3 weeks ago as I started experiencing game lockups, and it fixed it until last night. Hope something in here helps..

ps: texture files are in the Media folder...both named Texture, one is .DIR extension ( that is the smaller one ).

I use the same V3. Try the 1.00 drivers on the V3 CD.IP: Logged | |
