There are 2 problems currently with v1.0 (ofc theres more, but this 2 bother me)
- Sometimes it will lock-up on game start, kinda big problem ;). I fixed it once, clearly not. Could be related just to my system configuration, still...
- Switching between windowed and fullscreen will eventually cause a crash
It will have to wait a couple of weeks, have to do some other stuff first, but think I have an idea whats going on, fixes will go in v1.1.
If someone tests the driver and you have issues, write it here and add what gpu and cpu was used.
----
Well time management at its finest... For the first issue, good news I found where it happens. Bad news, where it happens, mesa.
Second issues fixed, need to be more careful porting newnew glide stuff. Also added back sse2 texture download stuff(partial) that I blamed for the first issue.
----
Think the first issue is resolved too. Had to build mesafx with the glide lib of the actual glide.dll that Im using. You learn something new everyday.
Ill wait till tomorrow, to test some more, if Im not prematurly celebrating, but I think this is it.
Also alt-tab issue crashing the game got resolved during the proces. It still wont minimize the game, but it also wont crash it anymore.
Looks stable as it should be now.
Some more testing and if confirmed, Ill upload the v1.1 |

In thanks, you get some screenshots
So atleast I didnt break the screenshot function.
Game does run a bit too slow, causes lots of tearing.
And unreal-ated, but still some.
For ease of searching patches for games and troubleshooting, a good the best source is https://www.pcgamingwiki.com. You can find windescreen info, which graphics and sound api the game supports, inputs, troubleshooting. Really good place, where I always check first. You get used to their design and lots of info provided at first sight.
Some more patches I use:
Quake2 Unofficial v3.24 Patch, adds some more settings, resolutions and music, so cd doesnt have to be use.
http://www.markshan.com/knightmare/downloads.htm
Quake 3 palleted textures and hor+ patch
https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38810
Half-life, for won version, adds music, additional resolutions (oh the warp screens!)
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1228-half-life-won-resolution-fov-mp3-patch/
Fakk2 fov patch, resolution in autoexec.cfg same as any quake3 engine game
https://www.wsgf.org/dr/heavy-metal-fakk2
Unreal tournament (for free fps set detailed textures to false in game preferences for glide)
https://github.com/alexstrout/foxWSFix-UT99
For more, you know where to look. |

I still got lockups occasionally on game start.
What it turned out to be the problem is Agp aperture size, I had it at 256mb, so set that to 32mb, v5 has no agp texturing anyway, no more problems for the last 2 weeks.
One game that doesnt work, that I tried, is Sin. It works with 6.3 mesaFx, You can use that mesafx version, just put in the game folder and if you want to use a different resolution, use glide override, it will force it(also patch the game ofc).
I have "future plans" to use newer mesa, but in 6.3+ they changed some things and glide part needs some rework, so somedayTM.

Added glide to github, so all changes will be documented.
Same plan for other parts of the driver or anything 3dfx related I will do, slowly...
