GPL + Voodoo3 3000 corrupt textures

by Andy » Wed, 05 Jul 2000 04:00:00

Hi

I have just upgraded my video card from an aged TNT 2 to a Voodoo3 3000 AGP
card. GPL now runs much better but occasionally the textures become corrupt.
This does not happen everytime I play it but when it does it is usually
after I exit a track and then go to another track. I have tried various
drivers and am currently using V1.02.11 which had been recommended, but this
still does not cure the problem.

Any ideas or solutions ?

TIA

Andy

p.s. Does anyone know what files I have to delete to completely remove the
voodoo drivers so I can install from scratch?

Try going into 3dfx tools  (display properties advanced) and in the
glide options, limit texture to 2MB...

If i dont do this when i run GPL my textures are totally screwed up.

You could try the new d3d patch though, and stop using glide.

Try GPL Patch 1.2 + current Voodoo 3 drivers (4.05.00, from
www.3dfxgamers.com). Did you switch GPL to Glide mode when you
replaced the TNT2?

Errrrrr

woah u getting some strange advice here my friend.

I use V3 3000 with GPL with NO problems whatsoever.
I am using the latest beta drivers from 3dfxgamers.com, and Dx7a.  Have u
removed ALL references to the TNT2 from your system both files and reg entries?
Also, i would recommend a removal of gpl and reinstal it.

No need to do that after upgrading to the latest Voodoo drivers (4.05.00
here) and GPL v1.2.

Please see above :)

I tried that w/ my V3 2000 but the image quality AND frame rate are so much
better w/ Glide ...

I have a V3-3000 and still use the 1.02.11 drivers.  The unpatched GPL
would give texture corruption above 800x600.  Limit textures to 2mb
solved it.  The 1.2 patch for gpl includes a new rasterizer which also
solves it and makes the 2mb thing unnecessary.
