I'm running GPL with win 2k. I had some missing glide files when it started up, but now it wants redline.dll It's nowhere on my harddrive, or my friend's who happens to be running the same video card (although win 98) does someone have this file? or know how to solve my problem? I really want to play GPL!!! GPL starts in software mode (no problem) but when I switch to 3dfx in options, it says I have to restart the program.... and when I do, i get the can't find redline.dll warning. and then it starts with 'none' for 3d adapters again. Please Help!!!!!!! speedracer
Hi, Don't know if this helps, but the redline.dll as far as I know in GPL is the rendition driver
It falls back to Rendition accelerated mode (RRedline) when it detects a problem in 3dfx accelerated mode (Glide). Getting GPL up and running in Windows 2000 on 3dfx hardware will continue to be a pain until 3dfx releases a full featured WDM driverset (less than four weeks to go 3dfx, time is running out). The combination that worked for me was the NT4 driverset plus my old 3dfx patch that prevents video mode switches. - George

Basically this message means you don't have Glide installed correctly in your w2k box. W2k doesn't ship with Glide drivers, just 2d drivers for voodoo cards. Got to http://on.to/w2k to get Glide working ... Then go to http://www.the-fastlane.com/ and get the Banshee fix. Hena
