In CS 1.6 it seems to me the textures seem a bit too blurred when viewing objects close to me. I think they looked a bit more detailed when I had Amigamerlin 2.9 installed on win 98se. Now I am usin WinXP SP2 and AMigasport 3.0 (I have Voodoo3 2000 PCI). Would be nice if someone could tell me which setting(s) I could change in 3dfx tools to make textures more vivid on objects nearby.

For some reason I have video playback settings disabled (greyed-out radio button in 3dfx tools color management). Desktop/Glide/OpenGL/D3D color settings are working fine. Btw, this is with Voodoo3 2000 and Amigasport 3.0 on win XP SP2. I remember the option was available when I had win 98SE + Amigamerlin 2.9. Is there any way to enable the option? Why is it disabled?

Actually the program made things worse. Now the game runs @60Hz! Why?

EDIT: It actually works. It seems you must apply the refresh settings for each color mode.

Does that mean I'm not the only one having this problem? It's Win 2K/XP 'feature'?

General Discussions / XP SP2 and refresh rates
03 December 2005, 23:41:04
I'm not sure if it's the right forum to ask this, but I'll give it a go. Currently I have 1024x768 resolution set at 85Hz. That's fine, it really is 85Hz everywhere 1024x768 resolution is used: desktop, games etc. Since my monitor supports pretty high refresh rates for lower resolutions, I tried to set 800x600 at 100Hz (by using display properties). So I did that, BUT when I checked in-game (Heroes 3) with 800x600 reolution, it was 85Hz although I set it to 100Hz before! That sucks. It seems like for me it is possible to use single refresh rate for all resolutions... I remember clearly, when I used Win 98SE, I set different refresh rates for each reolution via the same display properties, and it was all fine: 1024x768@85Hz, 800x600@100Hz, 640x480@120Hz etc. Does anyone of you have the same problem? Maybe you coud recommend a solution if there is one? If you CAN set different refresh rates for different resolutions and they do not get overwritten, please let me know as well. Btw, I am using Voodoo3 2000 PCI.

Games / Counter Strike + Voodoo3 + XP SP2

I am having a problem launching CS 1.6 on Win XP SP2 and Voodoo3 2000. I have Amigasport 3.0 XP installed + 'Real' glide2x.dll in windows/system32 (as suggested by ps47) and opengl32.dll copied from WickedGL dir. When I launch the game, the desktop goes 640x480, I notice the CS picture, and then basically I get black screen (some desktop fragments are visible though, I can also restart/standby my pc) and the game does not run. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Where do I have to put WickedGL dll for CS 1.6? Do I put it into the root dir, or should I put it into root/gldrv? http://www.shifter.sk/helppage/default_fix.htm#voodoosandcs says it should be put into root dir, but, since mesafx is put into root/gldrv, I would like someone to confirm this.

Also should I use ogl_hres.dll or opengl32.dll? I always play using 1024x768 resolution, is that considered high-res?

ps47, I'm going to follow your advice. Just I'd like to ask, you know WIn XP installs its default voodoo driver upon installation and in Amigasport 3.0 XP readme it is stated that old driver should be removed. Can I simply install Amigasport on top of it? If not, how exactly do I remove the driver?

Specs do not matter in this case, I am still going to install Win Xp. It's PIII 450 MHz, 320 SDRAM, Voodoo3 2000.

Just trying to find out what exactly I should install, so that my voodoo runs well on xp.

Guys, you got me confused... I know I need Amigasport 3.0 XP (for win xp). What else do I need besides that? On the site you have it that mesa is an improvement, now magillom says it's slow... Could someone please tell me exactly what I need to use (besides amigasport) on windows XP. I am running V3 2000. Thanks in advance.

Why is mesa not good? I've been using it with amigamerlin 2.9 on win 98se and there were no probs.

<<As somebody said the best drivers are for windows 98 and he/she was absolutley right.>>
Who is that somebody and where did he say that?

I'm not going to play tons of 3d games with my voodoo, I just need it to run CS 1.6 with mesaFX just as good (or even better) on XP as it did on my win 98 SE install. I've simply reached the point where I pretty much cannot do without win XP, but I'd still want to play CS 1.6 from time to time, untill I get myself a new comp.
