Pikey 0 Posted June 13, 2000 Christ! How many video cards? I'm sorry the compatability patch didn't work, but i'm running Thief, Thief Gold and Thief 2 under Windows 2000 Pro on a 16MB Voodoo 3 with no probs at all! If you upgrade to Thief Gold (with the fantastic extra levels) and run d:\(or your relevant cd/dvd-rom letter) setup.exe- lgntforce (and don't forget the space after the dash) it runs fine. I'm not so sure how it will run under your possibly over-specced specs! Yours overwhelmed, Pikey Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted June 14, 2000 his video cards are not that ridiculous.... remember, voodoo2's are 3d only, and are able to run side-by-side (SLI mode). Then you still must have a card for 2d, hence the geforce. Of course, I would use the geforce for everything that did not require glide..... Share this post Link to post
