ok,I have been playing around for quite some time now,and its still the same as before-I'm simply unable to activate any form of FSAA under D3D with A47.same goes for those opengl settings-the inf file looks fine,but once the driver is installed the entries are not created in the registry..

I got D3D FSAA working using Freelancer as I described using the Alpha 47, it works fine.

I've updated the driver from Alpha 46 to Alpha 47:
- 4x AA is enabled in 3dfx Tools
- then I started 3DMark2001SE (demo not benchmark): 4xAA worked
- I tried FlatOut: No AA visible
- I tried 3DMark2001SE again, AA was gone :-O
- in Regedit I moved the string "SSTH3_SLI_AA_CONFIGURATION" form HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\3dfxvs\Device0\D3D to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\3dfxvs\Device0
- now AA is working correctly

Seems like all enviromental variables for D3D now must be located there.

Aye,

I can't enable FSAA too. I'll try gtxe's fix.

didnt work for me.ok,time for another clean instal of xp..

With my "fix" it's not possible to change the AA-setting via 3dfx-tools!
It's because 3dfx-tools does not change the variables in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\3dfxvs\Device0".
You have to do it manually.

ok,it works exactly the way you described.and changing the same variable under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\3dfxvs\Device0" works too..anyway,that doesnt change the fact that something aint right.

confused..

Hi,
Anyone runing V4 4500 AGP under CoreDual-Vsata and Core2Duo? I am having a lot problems with blue screens (3dfxvs.dll error). V4 can not handle 3DMark2001SE or Need For Speed Underground. Is tod say, with any D3D game I got blue screen. I have tried differents Alpha Drivers without luck.

Oscar,
is that an Asrock board ?
If so, then you are experiencing the same problems like Raff.
He is a 3dfx user here as well.
I will try a V4 on another Asrock board soon, the Conroe865PE.

Yes Rolo,
It is an Asrock. I have tried the 775Dual-vsata with not luck too.

Thanks,
Oscar

maybe you can try previos versions.... like alpha 42 / 43...


and how about amigamerlin R11's build?

try this:



but I'm not sure how to do it when running the SFFT driver,the entries are not in the registry so you will have to import them manually.I'll check on this later..maybe AM3.1 has these entries?

or try unchecking "agp enable" via Vcontrol.

Oky, I will try it this night. :)

Thanks for the advice,

Yep, I encountered the same problems with my 4CoreDual-VSTA (VIA PT880 Ultra). No matter which AGP settings I changed, the card always kept dying. UT ran for some matches, if I recal correctly. But it was slower than usual, I think.

SFFT Alpha 37 didn't work in my case.

But if doing so, the card uses PCI bus speed, right? Then the big advantage of (overclocked) AGP4x speed in combination with a real fast CPU is gone. [:(]
