SnapperOne 0 Posted October 5, 2001 Someone just gave me a copy of Return Fire 2; said it was a pretty good "shooter". When I attempted to load the game, it says it's unable to find some "Glide file", then continues the install. When I attempt to run the game, same message, but give a choice to use Glide or software drivers. Have tried both settings. NaDa. What's with "Glide"? Where do I get it? Etc.......... Running Win2K, PIII-667, 128M Rdram, Viper 550 TNT video, and an SB-Live. Share this post Link to post
FrogMaster 0 Posted October 5, 2001 Hi! I dunno this game, but the error message clearly states that it wants a 3DFX card to run on. Glide is (was?) the proprietary 3DFX API. It is a kind of simplified and very fast open gl. Personally, I run some 'old' games like Unreal and Tournament on glide which is much faster that any other api. On my config, it is even better looking and faster than open gl or direct x. Share this post Link to post
Spam 0 Posted October 13, 2001 Basically, as you don't have a 3DFX voodoo card, you can't run Glide - so just ignore it. There are glide emulators/wrappers that you could try, but I doubt it would be worthwhile with your system as you need some pretty heavy duty hardware to run the emulator and I'm not sure where you can even get the software anymore. If you want to give it a shot anyway, do a search on the internet for Glide wrapper and you might have some luck. Share this post Link to post
