When I try to race GPL with my Moster 3d II, the track had sections that are flashing weird psychadelic black colors in some places. When I tried turning 3dfx off It was Ok but undriveable with my P166...real chunky. The frame rate seemed real good with 3dfx but I would like to try it without the weird colors. Dave Smith

Update your drivers. The first version of the Voodoo2 drivers cause the problems you are referring to. You should be able to find the latest reference drivers at http://www.3dfx.com/download/sdk/index.html -- **************************** Michael E.

I also have the M3D2. You need the reference drivers from www.3dfx.com. The "200" drivers from Diamond are no good with GPL demo. Hopefully Diamond will have our new and ever improving drivers out soon :)

Had same prob w monster 3d2 in GPL. I turn Grourad (sp?) shading off and prob goes away for me. You have to keep shutting it off each time you go to the menu.

Yes, but you can't run it at 800 X 600 or 1280 X 768 on the track or in replays. And as you say, you have to keep turning that damned Gourad off. Btw, it looks a whole heao better with Gourad! With the reference drivers you can do it all! Get 'em! :))
