ILDTR4 0 Posted March 7, 2000 Alright here goes. I currently run Windows2000 Pro and with my TNT2U I can't use Direct3D. The game I play all of the time is Dirt Track Racing by Ratbag. At first I said no biggy I'll wait for new drivers, but as we all know that didn't help. Then I decided to try a glide wrapper but that gave me the following error, "Wrong glide version?". This got me thinking maybe if I broke out the trusty old Voodoo2 then glide would work. Well as you know 3dfx sucks and only puts out a hacked NT4 driver....unless you go for beta multimonitor crap. At any rate they work in Single Player great. But when I try to go to Multiplayer though an IP or even my own server the computer completely locks up. I got to thinking the reason was because it has a real time chat in multiplayer. I don't know if this is it or not. If anyone can figure this out you would be a savior. Right now I have to play the game in Software ("Atari") mode. Although on my system it looks ok and runs fast but the graphics are obviously poor. I did have an idea though that maybe if someone could hack a glide2x driver so it'll work with my TNT2U. I don't know if this is possible but I thought I'd bring it up. I just want the game to work in D3D or Glide so I don't have to look at pixelation anymore.

YuppieScum 0 Posted March 8, 2000 The Voodoo2 "kludgepack" is not from 3DFX - is was put together by Anthony Toaste of this forum...and it works great if you follow the instructions. The W2K native drivers don't support either D3D or OpenGL - so you need to download later versions from NVIDIA. Also, there is a known issue with Athalon mobos and AGP - get the latest patch... ------------------ SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem" Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf) SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value) Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval) Share this post Link to post
