bottleneck 0 Posted September 11, 2000 I installed Need for speed Porsche unleashed the other day,and deleted 'gimme.dll'(otherwise it eats up a ton of memory during loading and then crashes),after what the game run fine.After rebooting(didn't install or uninstall anything meanwhile)the intro moovie and game menues load normaly,but when I hit the 'race' button the game crashes to desktop without any messages.Tried different grafics settings and reinstalling the game,but still doesn't work. ------------------ ---------------------------------------- System: MB Asus P2B CPU celeron433MHz HDD Quantum FB 15GB ATA66 7200rpm RAM 128MB PC100 Toshiba V3 2000 AGP (10104 Beta drivers) SB Creative128PCI CDROM x36 Toshiba Windows 2000 Professional SP1 installed Share this post Link to post
Jester 0 Posted September 11, 2000 You're best bet is to force it to run in Glide mode instead of the default D3D mode. It will run much better and will be less buggy. To do this enter the registry and go to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed - Porsche Unleashed" and change "D3D Device" to "0", "Group" to "Glide", "Hardware acceleration" to "1", and finally "thrash driver" to "voodoo2". I did this for my SLI and it works perfectly in Glide mode so it should work the same way for your Voodoo3. Good luck! Share this post Link to post
