CMR and Voodoo 3 ?

by Peter Prochazk » Wed, 30 Jun 1999 04:00:00

Is it possible to play Colin McRae Rally with the V 3 3000 ?
The game always sends me back to desktop when I try.
(Intro, menus etc. are working)
Are there any drivers or patches to resolve this problem ?

Thanx in advance !

I had the same problem when I first got a Voodoo 3 2000, but I was able
to make it go away.  I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think
I just reinstalled the game from the CD and maybe reinstalled the old patch.
It did not take a new patch.  Hope this helps.

Peter,

I have a - V3 2000 and CMR. Worked fine for me
straight out the box. In fact its the program I used to test the V3
since it does come with any test sample  :-(

The only advice I can offer is the obvious stuff of ensuring
that CMR is using "Device 0" in the graphics set up. I have
had trouble with games still expecting to find a second 3Dfx
card in the machine.

Thanx for answering Steve !

Since I am totally into GPL at the moment, I haven't tried to work on the
problem the alst couple of days. However, your mail encouraged me to
try again. Reinstalled everything, game is set to Device 0, but nothing.
After a stage is loaded, all I see is my desktop.
Strangely, there are very few answers to my question and everybody says,
he has no problem with CMR and V3 (Only one guy said, he also has).
Doesn't seem to be a common problem... :(

Hi Peter!

I recently solved the problem, I did the full install and run a crack
that found in Inet (can play without CD), now no more desktop exits.
I don't know if works for you but works for me.
For the crack just search in the yahoo (search for "colin crack" or
"crack" I can't remember) in one of the first entries can find the
crack.

Check too www.bitinternet.com/%7ep.i.w/voodoo-hospital/v3clinic.htm for
a utility that removes from registry previous installation of 3dfx
cards. This not work for me because my V3 is the first 3dfx card in my
machine, maybe works for you...

Good Luck.

Thanks for the tip, Javier !
I've managed to find two CMR cracks (cmcpatch.zip and colinmc10.zip) for the
european version (which I own), but they don't work. (Or I haven't been
able to make them work). I have found them with metacrawler, the search
results of yahoo using "crack" something were mostly related to *** ;-)
Since the V3 is the only graphics card my system has ever seen, your other
tip
won't work for me also.
But maybe I'll find the correct crack, I only fear that maybe it doesn't
work
for the european version.
