What driver are you using ?
i tryed Amigasport 3.0 xp , and Amigamerlin 2.5 SE.
Amigamerlin 2.5 SE on that drivers i had some errors in instal.
i try too standart voodoo3 drivers from Windows XP,
i some one have any hint pls help.
ps.i played soldat too on voodoo2 8 mb and he runs good but on win98 with drivers (glsetup or somthing like that)
EDIT==================
K i solve my problem
i Instal SFFT Driver Alpha 36 - 3dfx Voodoo3/4/5 - Windows 2000/XP and V.Control in V Control i enabled all function of D3D and game runs preety Good ;]
SFFT Driver Alpha 36 was my idea ;)
Glad that the game is running now. :)

Pretty nice work with SFFT Driver Alpha 36

try turning texture management on/off.use the following tool: https://www.3dfxzone.it/public/uploaded/SuperFurryFurryThing/2006225183415_tmutils.zip
Sorry for not repond for long time to end that discution.
ps47 that software you give :/ sorry but not end my problems but that does mean I have accustomed to that situation ^^
other game that i played is Mu-online boring mmrpg hack&slash is a littel Error menus are clear but background graphic in MENU,Char select are WHITE that is small bug or my noknowledge in game MU on VooDoo3 2000 is like on other Cards that support MU.
EDIT SCR of Mu-On-Line

dont be afraid 56k turbo-beast modem user's that is JPG ^^
MU has problems with certain effects,thats a known issue.I think its related to the voodoo3 texture resolution limit of 256*256 (all textures that are 512*512 or larger will appear white).software rescaling would fix that,but I have no idea if SFFT plans to add this feature in some future version of his voodoo3 driver..it would be awesome btw ;)
I thought MU was opengl based[:0]
well I'll be damned.you are right (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_Online).Axar,fetch youself mesafx (http://www.3dfxzone.it/files/download/video/3dfx/common/mesafx/MesaFx%206.2.0.2.exe),make sure you have the latest glide3x (http://www.3dfx.cz/download/glide3x_v345.zip) in your windows/system32 folder,extract mesafx (its a self extracting exe),copy the opengl32.dll file to your MU online folder,create a txt file in the same folder (say run.txt),edit it with notepad,and type:
set MESA_FX_MAXLOD=9
mu.exe
save changes and exit notepad,rename run.txt to run.bat (make sure your system is configured to view all extensions),and try running the game with run.bat.see what happens.you can try values higher than 9 if the textures still remain white..
btw,when you change texture management for D3D games (with those utilities I linked),you will have to restart for changes to take effect ;)
GoD will bless you all big thx^^
Edit*
Hmm are some one played Americas Army on VooDoo3 ?
are on VooDoo3 AAO are playble ?
nope.you need at least voodoo4 (and I dont want to see the performance[xx(])
AAO is theoretically playable on voodoo3, but many servers kick you if you play in 16bit color
