GP3 Demo - Hardware Mode

Hi, I downloaded the GP3 demo on my 56k modem (took two days!) and I haven't played it much yet, but I am wondering why the game chooses to use software rendering instead of using my video card. It uses direct3d right? I have a P2-350 and a 4 meg Diamond Stealth II S220 (works great in GPL) which supports Direct3d. Does the demo not support hardware rendering? If it does how can I enable it? My config file says that my graphics card is unavailable? Any thoughts? Ryan

Yes, it supports hardware rendering. It's probably a video card driver problem. Update drivers and run the video selelction test again. If that doesn't work then maybe you need a more current video card. A 4mb video card is really pushing your luck these days. -- Nos

i think gp3 requires at least an 8 meg 3d card..... pez Ryan wrote in message <1x9z5.975$[email hidden]>... >Hi, >I downloaded the GP3 demo on my 56k modem (took two days!) and I haven't >played it much yet, but I am wondering why the game chooses to use software >rendering instead of using my video card.
