Thanks Amigamerlin!

This forum is great. I asked some questions in other forums and nobody answered to me.
I think many people have questions like this. There several drivers around and it takes a lot of time to test each of them whit every game you want to play to see which gives you best results.

And I have anohter question:

What's the state of opengl divers in the final core of beta9 are they new or modifed old. And on what they are based?

Seeing the new OpenGL ICD is becoming less & less likely in my opinion...
But we shall see....
Hopefully your 2.9`s will be out soon.... :-)

When the new Amigamerlin 2.9 be out? Are you going to use Kool glide  or colorless Glide Xp they are more stable than Kools! If i use the new Koolsmokey Glide i cant even start the Unreal Tournament old game The only thing you can see is a red light and a white one the Crash If i use the colorless they work awsome why is that???

I'm going to use koolsmoky glide and I dont' have had any crash.
With glide 2x apps, please don't use Force 32 bit rendering for glide!. With this settings active all apps that use glide2x can crash (like UT).
Try this fx and let me know !!!

I have another question:
Is it possible to be emulated 32bit textures for voodoo3 so games that want them will run. I don't care so much for speed.Maybe even faking 32bit textures with 16bit will br good enough to see anything.

Thanks for the tip Amigamerlin that was the problem, the force 32 bit rendering!!! But why the game didnt crash w the colorless glide in full force 32 bit rendering? And the real question when your new drivers be out!!! :)
