Hello race guys, I got all e***d and downloaded the new SODA off road demo, and I can't get it to recognize my Rendition card. I have a Rendition Verite Reactor 4MB 1000 PCI card, and the game says that it supports the - Intense 3D 100 from Intergraph -, I went to Intergraphs home page and downloaded some new drivers (the game needs the newer versions, with Redline support) and all I could find was this Intense 3D 100 stuff... Well, I loaded the game and installed new drivers (following directions and everything) , took them out, installed the rend. drivers that come with the demo, took them out, and nothing seemed to work. I've spent all morning and afternoon just trying to get my display back to normal. I can get the game to play in un-3d, but that's it. So my question is... Is my version (my card) really that outdated already? It seems like it should work, if I'm missing something obvious, please help! Thanks Raevyn ps: oh yeah, impressions of the game. I'm a big racing sim fan, and I'm familiar with the majors out there, so I have a certain trust in Papy...this SODA game could be really fun, a lot of new territory here.. The steering seemed to be incredibly touchy, and I'm used to GP2, even when I recalibrated at different distances it was spinning sideways at the drop of a hat.. If the bounciness, and side to side motion in the final version can match that of Interstate 76 (and it's not even a sim, technically), then it'll be right on target, in my opinion... So far...all I can say is: More Mud!!! The more dirt pixels and junk flying around the better, after watching SODA on tv, (getting ready for the game you see) that's what has struck me most about off road racing, it's a mess! Releasing this game with minimal dirt spray would be like releasing an off-shore ocean racing game without huge water spray everywhere. Just my thoughts. and if you can help with the display problem above, Please do... thanks! Rae

>Hello race guys, >I got all e***d and downloaded the new SODA off road demo, and I >can't get it to recognize my Rendition card. Thanks anyhow, I figured it out. I think it had to do with updating the BIOS.. which is what I did. Now it seems to work fine. Intense is just the new name for 'Reactor'.. -who knew? It was still pretty damn confusing, but oh well.

How did you get it to work in un-3d mode???? I can't get it to work like that. I try the /s option in many ways but no joy. I can get the track editor to work tho. :-) Steve >I can get the game to play in un-3d, but that's it. >So my question is... Is my version (my card) really that outdated >already?
