HELP ! GPL/Monster 3D

by Alain Genouill » Wed, 17 Mar 1999 04:00:00

I have a Monster 3d (not a 3d II) running with DirectX 6.1.
In most instances, the game freezes sometimes in the menus, sometimes
when playing. When I say it freezes, only the video freezes, the sounds
still work when I accelerate. Even though I downloaded the latest
drivers for Monster 3D, Dxdiag reports dd3fx.drv as not being
"certified". Does this matter ?
Note that if I try to start the game in autorun through the CD in most
cases it does not start. I have to Ctrl/Alt/Del GPL and then start it
from the Start/Programs/Sierra, then it starts (including the 3dfx
splash screen) but freezes sometime later. Could there be a conflict
with the CD driver ? Is there a way to play the game without the CD (I
know you can start it, but then you have have to get back out) ?
I have a Pentium II MMX 450 with 64K of mem.
Is there anyone having problems with a Monster 3D and GPL ?
Any hint or help would be welcome !
