stealth 2 help needed

by Varmint2 » Mon, 06 Apr 1998 05:00:00

Hi,

   I bought a stealth2 today. It isn't working for N2. It's working under '95
with soda but it gives a 3/4 size square screen. I typed n2rend and renddma
under dos and N2 can't find the chipset, wont start. N2 works with the vesa
mode after reinstalling the program.
   I'm too annoyed at this point to start the big rundown of drivers and helps
and faqs. If someone could save me some pain here, i would be very greatful.
Otherwise I think i'm just gonna take it back

        Thanks,      Dave

I had the same trouble as you. Finally had to re-install the game to get
it to work. I'm not sure but I think the prob was the univibe. I
re-installed it w/o univibe, and it works great now. Course when I did
this I forgot to backup my Indy track and now I can't find one anywhere
( at least one w/ the Indy.dat) Try Ed's idea first.

  Fershure the re-install is a good idea.  But the Vdosfix will probably be needed
too.
I have run N2 many times without the V2dos fix but soonner or later I run a dos
boot and that seems to mess it up.  Then the V2dosfix creates the proper id for
the vidcard and it works very well.  Once you get it running, if you still
experience slowdown at some tracks  type renddma -4  that should get ya cooking
