Post by: dud on 11 October 2004, 19:54:29
Software installs, but game won't load.  I assume this is a graphics problem.  I'm curious to know what is causing this conflct.  

I'm clueless.  Anybody!

SYS:

WIN XP HOME SP 2
Pentium III MMX 450 Mhz. w/ ZX Chipset
383 Mb. SDRAM (PC 100)
Voodoo 3 2000 vid card...w/ Amigasport 3.0 XP drivers AND 3Dfx Tools
DirectX 9.0
Thanks,.....

Are you suggesting that I install these drivers in place of the AMIGASPORT 3.0 XP drivers?  Huh, I thought I was doing alright with the AMIGA's.

.... that I install these drivers in place of the AMIGASPORT 3.0 XP drivers....

not necesary, keep Amiga Sport's driver, and go to \system32 and place the new DLLs from SSFT :) (one it is in \system32\driver )

He is at the very bottom limit of the system requirements.
Maybe his system just can't handle the game. (even though it should)

@ dud: LOL we nearly have the same sys specs.
Only your PIII overrules my K6-2 although they both run at 450 mhz.
Guess...no conspiracies for my system [V]

Nightbird,

I do not receive an error message. Rather, the game just refuses to load and I am sent back to my desktop.

Ggab,

I will try your suggestion:  

PS "the easy way": replace 3dfxvsm.sys & 3dfxvs.dll from Alpha 15.

Thanks to all, I will have to try a few things and get back to youse guys.:D

Stay tuned....

Well folks, I have tried a variety of things to get this working.  Nothing seems to work!  I have changed driver exe. files, drivers, compatibility modes, etc.  I guess that I have reached the limitations of my Voodoo 3 card!  Basically, I'm out of luck!

Well, what better excuse to go out and buy a new one!  I've been eyeballin' a RADEON 9200 card.  I can get one for about $50 US.  Or perhaps I should look into trying to find an nVidia Ti200 card.  Any suggestions?  

P.S....Thanks to all who have replied to this thread, the info that you have provided has proven invaluable.:)

buy a R9200 if u want good Low-end DX8 quality
GFFX 5500 for DX9 support (FX5200 is worse than 9200)

and NO 9200SE or FX5200/5500 64bit (they are scrappy)

Hum, without demo available, no possible to try it.
Would be curious to know if a V4 or a V5 can run this game since it doesn't seem "demanding".
