CPR Glide patch...a joke??

CPR Glide patch...a joke??

by Dave Marti » Thu, 02 Apr 1998 04:00:00

I got the triglide.dll patch for CPR. There is nothing within CPR to select
3dfx..or any other render method for that matter.
Are there 2 diferent versions out there?
When I pull down options..select graphics...there is an option (a button) to
selelct "Use Hardware Acceleration" which is under the screen resulotion
selct menu. Thats it. No render options nothing.

From another post I saw to look for a another dll file called tri3d.dll...no
such thing on my system..and yes I can see all files....no tri*.dll anything
other that the triglide.dll I just downloaded.

Was this a joke or what??

Nope I have a monster 3d card pent200mmx.
I think there must be 2 diferent versions of CPR released. I have a regular
CD bought at CompUSA. Are you folks talking about the demo version or
something?
There is no option (before or after putting in the dll) to select software,
d3d or any other render method. There is only a button that can be toggled
to turn hardware acceleration on and off.

Hmm, this is strange. Yup 2.43 glide installed, right length of
triglide.dll, right place for it. Well, I'm stumped:)
One thing though..I just did a clean install of CPR and havent added the
official patch out by microsoft. Wonder if thats part of it...you using a
patched or clean install? Anway..will download the patch them retry it.
Thanks for the input.
