Graphics problems with Colin McRae Rally

4 posts by 3 people · 24 Mar 1999 - 24 Mar 1999

Hopefully someone can solve this problem for me. Current setup Celeron 300A on Abit BH6 256Mb SDRAM Matrox Millenium G200 Diamond Monster II 12Mb Win 98, Direct X 6 from CMR CD The problem I am seeing is that CMR does not detect the Voodoo card and insists on running using the G200's 3D capabilities. Now the game runs fine but the frame rate is poor. Obviously I want to get it running off the Voodoo but when I look in the advanced graphics options there is only an option to use device 0 (the G200) and no device 1 (where the Voodoo should be). Any ideas?????

Did you try reinstalling your voodooII drivers. DX6 might have overwritten your voodooII 3D device when it was installed.

Also, go visit news.3dfx.com under 3dfx.game.discussion and 3dfx.products.voodoo2 Their are numerous posts re CMR and 3dfx cards.

Peter, Make sure that you don't have "Disable Voodoo2 Direct3D Support" selected in the Direct3D Advanced Properties tab of your drivers. Regards DM
