SFFT alpha drivers - V3/4/5 - Join to Testing

[FBS]

Another little bug that I noticed with the SFFT15 drivers is displayed in the window here below. See the bottom right of the picture the task bar windows do not go away. I clicked on them to display the window and 80 % of the time the window closes and the other 20% of the time the window stays displayed. Even if I open other windows the tasks bar windows stay there and always on top. To get rid of the widow, I must click a function in the window then the window disappears. Also when this happens I seem to loose focus on desktop and window keyboard button that opens the start in the bottom left of the desktop is inoperative.

Hello.I´m from Argentina. And I really need to strong my belive on 3dfx noce more. Just let me say that I admire all your knowledge about voodoo cards.

Well, I having problems to run "need for speed underground" under WinXP; over my Epox EP-3SPA3 carring a PIII 800ebMHz with 512Mb ram and (here comes the star) a voodoo 4500 agp with 32MB. I`ve tested from the originally drivers to the amigarlin lastest edition. And the problem remains always the same. THE PC GETS RESTARTED WHEN I TRY TO RUN THE GAME.
The only driver that seems to work is the one from "windowsupdate". And the game shows this:

Hi

After changing to single chip, the errors are gone. But the performance at 640x480 is bad. I have got AMD Duron 1600 on KT333 with 256MB. The framerate is only at 20-25fps. I'm using AMIGAMERLIN 3.1 R1 on Windows XP Servive Pack 2.
Can someone help me?

Thanks!

Adrian

hi Onkel

that's great to hear... could you enlighten us with your other driver settings...

[Onkel Adrian]

Hi

I'm using the standard-settings. No V-Sync, no FSAA, no AF and normal quality.
But today I killed 380 virus, maybe thats the problem? I'll test it now:)

Adrian

@SFFT,

Half life 2 is working with the alpha 16 driver but only in windows mode, forcing the game to start in full screen causes rendering problems on half of the games screen.

I cant take any screenshots (fraps) as I'm getting a memory reference error and when acknowledged taken back to the desktop

Windows 2000 SP4
ECS K7S5A Pro
512 MB Ram
Voodoo 5500 AGP
Amigamerlin 3.1/SFFT alpha 16
