Re: GPL + Voodoo3 3000 corrupt textures

Try going into 3dfx tools (display properties advanced) and in the glide options, limit texture to 2MB... If i dont do this when i run GPL my textures are totally screwed up. You could try the new d3d patch though, and stop using glide. On Tue, 4 Jul 2000 20:03:12 +0100, "Andy" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hi I have just upgraded my video card from an aged TNT 2 to a Voodoo3 3000 AGP card. GPL now runs much better but occasionally the textures become corrupt. This does not happen everytime I play it but when it does it is usually after I exit a track and then go to another track. I have tried various drivers and am currently using V1.02.11 which had been recommended, but this still does not cure the problem. Any ideas or solutions ? TIA Andy p.s. Does anyone know what files I have to delete to completely remove the voodoo drivers so I can install from scratch?

Errrrrr woah u getting some strange advice here my friend. I use V3 3000 with GPL with NO problems whatsoever. I am using the latest beta drivers from 3dfxgamers.com, and Dx7a. Have u removed ALL references to the TNT2 from your system both files and reg entries? Also, i would recommend a removal of gpl and reinstal it. SKurj Andy wrote:

Try GPL Patch 1.2 + current Voodoo 3 drivers (4.05.00, from www.3dfxgamers.com). Did you switch GPL to Glide mode when you replaced the TNT2? Daniel -- ICQ UIN: 30333508 http://www.topofgames.de || http://danielshome.cjb.net

I have a V3-3000 and still use the 1.02.11 drivers. The unpatched GPL would give texture corruption above 800x600. Limit textures to 2mb solved it. The 1.2 patch for gpl includes a new rasterizer which also solves it and makes the 2mb thing unnecessary.

No need to do that after upgrading to the latest Voodoo drivers (4.05.00 here) and GPL v1.2. >If i dont do this when i run GPL my textures are totally screwed up.

Well I use a V3500... and 3dfx seems to forget to release new drivers for that... :)
