Hi all,
I tried Freefalcon 3.1 with SFFT alpha24 and v5 5500
it works really fine with no graphics errors!
great job SFFT!!!
my PC:
AMD Athlon64 3200+ - ASUS K8V-Deluxe - 1GB DDR400 - 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 PCI

I end up having to ask this every time a driver set is released, but where do I download the latest alpha drivers?  Maybe it's because the primary language and region aren't english-related, but this site has the single worst design and most ineffective search of any that I can think about at the moment.

Also, using SFFT Alpha 22, I just installed the latest MAME32 0.94 and realized that if I try to enable Direct3D, my computer crashes with the blue screen 3dfxvs.dll error (Windows XP SP2, Voodoo 5 5500)  I tested it a second time on a second game just to make certain and got the same results.  I won't test it a third time simply because I have to scandisk every time and I don't want my system getting screwed up over it.  Neverwinter Nights gives me plenty of that as it is.

There is usualy a link to download the drivers from the site home page. If you can post the addresses for any blue screen crashes along with specifying which driver version has caused the crash that would be helpful.

I have noticed an improvement with the SFFT24 drivers, in the way the textures display in the Flight Sim game. The improvemants are noticable in full screen. In window mode some texture blurr and as soon as I go to full screen the texture diplay well and stay displayed clearly. As for everything else the drivers and very stable and perform nicely.
Another thing I notice is that now with the SFFT24, I can not run in fast performance or 2AA mode. As soon as I open the kneeboard of the game the FPS drops to a crawl about 1 to 2 FPS.

So where can I get to the SFFT download page through the site?  I've looked through the sections and haven't found anything, and so every time a new version is released I end up back here asking what the url is.  The only thing I ever see on the site homepage is a news item about the release, with a link saying "get drivers and make a report" yet it only links to this board.

Anyway, I'll try to get more info when I'm up to it, I just really hate crashing my system like that.  And the driver version was, as I said, SFFT Alpha 22.

I have seen the same behaviour on my Voodoo 5, I don't know whether NFSU will run in a higher detail mode on a V5 or not.

The SFFT25 drivers have improve my FPS in the flight sim game using Fast performane and 2 sample AA. Texture dipslay isseus in window mode are no longer an isseu.

When you enable Direct3D in Mame32 and run a game, it blue screens with the following error:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xBF9F2DC4, 0xF4673B28, 0x00000000)
3dfxvs.dll - Address BF9F2DC4 base at BF9D3000, DateStamp 31e1944f

This is on Windows XP SP2, Voodoo 5 5500 using SFFT Alpha 25.

@SFFT:
I see that you have included the glide2x to glide3x wrapper in the voodoo4/5 driver.baad idea.most glide2x games will not run.there is no reason for using the wrapper,original 3dfx glide2x or koolsmoky's modified one will work 100x better..

With the koolsmoky glide2x (2.10.2604) UT don't work for me, with the wrapper and the last original 3Dfx all ok!
Koolsmoky can solves the bug?

Ciao, skorpionet

the problem with the wrapper is that UT is basically the ONLY game that works (at least for me)[xx(]
