F1RS error message?

I installed F1RS on my computer which doesn't have a 3dfx card. It
installed ok but when I try and run it I get the message "Ther is no #d
present in :directdraw Enumerate"
The graphics card is a 2meg s3 which is only 2 months old.
Any ideas?

You need a 4mb D3D or 3DFX video card to run F1RS.

  Sorry Guy, the S3 chipset is absolutely one of the worst out there for
anything other than 2d.  You'll find more and more that most of the hotter
graphic games will be needing a D3d or 3dfx compatible vidcard with at
LEAST 4 megs of ram.  You could have a hotrod system but if you pipe it
through that S3 your gonna feel like your driving a Ferrari with no
wheels...

Is this the demo or have you bought it ?
F1RS requires a 4Meg card, and the s3 is frankly not up to it anyway.
If you bought the game, there is an error on the minimum specs on the
box which should have been covered up with a sticker or corrected. You
have 2 options, buy a decent 4Meg video card, preferably add a 3DFX, or
take the game back to the shop, explain the situation, and get a refund.

Steve.

Yes.  Read the requirements for the game.  There are very specific video
card specs. for this one.

You need a minimum memory of 4Mb on your graphics card for f1rs  to
work?
