Theoretically the game should run on a V5, as it runs on a Geforce2.
But I have never been able to run it, it simply exits to desktop.
Even 3DA didnt help.

Hey Rolo01 :)

How about using WinXP Pro 32 + SP3 with SFFT 1.5 and the latest 3D analyze?

Just a deep thought, it may be the T&L which is holding you back.

You could also give AM2.9 a shot under 98SE with Emulate T&L also an idea ;)

Hi Obi,
yes I tried every SFFT since Alpha 48 with 3D-Analyze, but had no luck.
Unfortunately there is no BSOD, it just exits to desktop.

hmm strange really if a GF2 can run it you''d expect a V5 to do the same heh, well it seems that T&L is a minimal requirement for that game, if a VGA does not have it it won't run.

I wonder if it can be ported to OpenGL, youmay get it work'n with MesaFX 6.2.0.2 heh just if this was possible.[:o)]

the game will run on all of the Geforce cards even GeForce 256 the game must have a 3dfx card blocker sum thing that knows you have a 3dfx card and shuts the game down battlefront would not even install and its a pandemic game to
