Igor 0 Posted March 6, 2000 Here are the drivers for final Win2k that suppose to support A3d. http://saturn.spaceports.com/~a3dfan/w2k/ Share this post Link to post
Aegeas 0 Posted March 7, 2000 CAUTION. I am fairly certain these drivers are a hacked version of the latest 8830 chipset drivers and not an official beta. These drivers fairly well mixed things up over here, in particular it seems that they had some problems playing fair on the PCI bus. Reinstall of WIN2k and then applying the WindowsUpdate Site patches BEFORE installing any games seems to have cured all of my problems. I used this order to get what has so far proven to be a flawless installation of Win2k. 1. Basic install 2. video drivers 3. All patches from Windows Update Site. 4. Reboot 5. Install games. 6. Play till dawn and it screams.
