HELP!!! Interstate 76 hardware patch problems...

HELP!!! Interstate 76 hardware patch problems...

by Mike Sindon » Sun, 13 Jun 1999 04:00:00

First off:  I have a Celery 400, 128 PC100ram, Voodoo 3 3000, SB 64 AWE.

Recently, I re-installed my I-76 and also downloaded the huge 5-part Gold
Edition hardware update/patch.  Well, after installing the patch, the game
runs a lot smoother with better graphics but I have a few problems.

1.  Sound doesn't work at all.  The intros and menu music works fine, but
the minute the action begins, the sound is gone.
2.  Glitchy graphics.  The game runs a lot smoother (probably well over
60fps) but there are major glitches in the background and the in-car
graphics.
3.  If I choose to run the game in 3DFX mode, my only choice of resolution
is 640X480.  Is that it?  I've got a VooDoo3, dotcha think I can at least
support 1024X768?

If anyone can throw me a frikkin' bone here, I'd appreciate it.

  Your sound drivers may have been overwritten by
the patches.  Try re-installing them.  as far as
resolution.   when the original I76 and it's patches
were made, even the Voodoo2 wasn't a rumour.
  while I can't say for sure, I'd be willing to bet
640x480 is the max.
  Can V3 users force a higher rez like the
Banshee guys??
  the graphic glitches are present and won't go away
this was a 2d game patch to 3d.  If you really want that
I76 experience, check out the upcomming I82 which
has a much more powerful graphic engine etc
good luck

The game is too old to work well with todays hardware. :(  I have the same
problem with Mech2 3dfx version. :(
