Tried to install F1RS on my new system (P2 350,W98,DirectX6,M3d 2 in SLI with drivers 2050 and it only gives me the D3d option and said no 3Dfx detected. How do I install it for 3dfx? Thank, Lutrell :-]

They go in \windows\system and are named glide.dll and sst1int.dll. You can get them from the ubisoft F1RS site. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Lutrell >I am having exactly the same problem with my F1RS.

This is from the F1RS FAQ: I'm having problems with my new Voodoo2 card. 1. If the F1RS install does not detect your Voodoo2 card, a couple of files are missed out of your windows/system directory. Some software specifically uses these files to recognise the existence of a 3DFX card (including F1RS). The most straight forward solution is to put the files back in - this will not cause any problems or degrade the performance of the newer drivers, but will improve compatibility. The missing files are glide.dll and sst1init.dll. If you have these files lying around on your hard disk, just copy them back into your windows/system directory. If not, you can obtain them here. http://www.ubisoft.co.uk/f1rs.zip Lutrell :-)
