games under nt4 "server"

[braxin 0]

hi,is it possible to play open gl and glide games under nt4 server[not workstation]such as q2 q3 and ut and unreal?useing 3dfx cards,

i know they play under nt4 workstation okay,but want to set up a home server to study nt4 server and use it for a terminal to play lan games as well,does the nt4 service pack cover nt server as well? thanks for your help

Sure you can. There is no difference between NT4 Workstation and Server in OpenGL or Glide support. Just install the latest 3dfx drivers and play some. You might have some trouble with sound though, NT4 didn't support DirectSound acceleration.

 

On the other hand, D3D games are a definite NO under NT4.

it weird this happened on nt4 server,but also occured on nt4 workstation,i,ve tryed the different driver sets for my voodoo banshee card,and still no luck,funny thing is that in the past i had no problems at all,except that the nt4 opengl screen savers would not work,now nothing though i can run unreal and ut okay?i,ve logged in as admin in vga mode, to do it as well,could my banshee card s hardware be at fault?

thanks for any advise

copy the 3dfxogl.dll to the quake3 folder then rename to opengl32.dll
