Anyone had any success with this yet? I'm using a V3 3K with the new Win2K
drivers and all I get is a hard crash:) When I fire it off it gets to the
splash screen then poof computer is foobar. If I change from 3dfx to
software it works perfectly but looks like crap.

So far I've tried DTR and N3 and both work perfectly. The ones I thought
wouldn't work did and the one I thought would didn't:)

I wonder if it might be a joystick driver problem. It doesn't sound to be,
as it sounds like you get far enough to switch to the software graphics
driver. At any rate, GPL hangs on my NT system when it finds improperly
configured joysticks. I'm hoping W2k lets me use the MSFF wheel with GPL;
sure would like to see it with the second processor going. Has anyone had
success yet with FF on W2K?

Well, I was going to tell ya it was a D3D/Glide Driver problem for you card,
but n3 and dtr games work. Though, I would recommend you go and download
the latest release of voodoo 3 drivers that didn't make the rtm release.
Though, after, should work fine,c ause it's all good here!

Yep, FF with an MSFF wheel worked great in Beta3 and RC1. However, when I
tested the time-limited 'final' version, the FF drivers were buggy as hell -
full left force when going in a straight line, with no force while turning
right. Here's hoping they got it sorted for the final release - GPL rocks on
dual 550s!

Scott - are you using a dual CPU machine? Quake3 locks solid when you enable
SMP with a Voodoo3 as the drivers are incompatible, I wonder if this could
be the case here?

I wish:) Just one P3 for me.

Actually, GPL _was_ specifically designed to take advantage of a
multi-processor system (well, a two-pocessor system, anyway). There were
one or two small programming glitches in 1.0 that caused problems on a
multi-processor system, but those were fixed in version 1.1.
