runs fine on voodoo5 5500 without 3danalyze.I dont get it,the game requires HW T&L..

What are the exact minimum requirements, and what driver set are you using? Also, do you have the Geometry Assist option on in the 3dfx tools, if you have the option?

last orginal ones for vin9x,geometry assist off.
min.sys.req.
733MHz Pentium® III or equivalent
US version of Windows® 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 (with latest service pack)/ XP  
128 MB RAM (256MB for Windows XP)
32MB Direct3D compatible video card with HARDWARE T&L, 32-bit color support,and DirectX 8.1 compatible driver
DirectSound® compatible 16-bit sound card with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver

the game had some comments about the drivers,but thats all.oh,and I have disabled the hardware mouse..performance is good.

hmm, perhaps, it can run without HW TnL, just not on a P3 733. Just a guess.
