I can't believe it. Downloaded the 2nd new demo. Installed it. Oh no, the
shortcut doesn't work. It can't find the game. Okay, let's start it
manually. Ah! The game starts! That's nice. The previous one didn't. Okay,
let's race. AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!! Black and white misty polygons! Polygons
everywhere! What's the matter with these Codemaster guys?! I got all the
newest drivers, my card is listed in the readme file. Why doesn't it work?
In the original shortcut there are two '0' 's. But even with these I get
notging but shimmering, flickering black and white graphics with some misty
textures here and there. Is it so hard to make a demo that works? Do they
really believe I'm going to buy this game after seeing this? I've been
waiting for a long time for this new demo. I like to see what I (really want
to!) buy. But this sucks. You should think after letting most of the players
down with a first demo, they should take extra care realeasing a new one.
But they didn't. I'm very annoye, to say it politely. In total 65 Mb

Are you using the latest V2 drivers (I think the DX6 ones?) from 3dfx.com?
I used them and had the same problems with black and white misty polygons.
Went back to the Monster 2 drivers from diamond website and it worked fine.
If I were you I'd try going back to the Voodoo 2 drivers you had before the
latest set you installed and see if that fixes it for you too. Can't help
you with the shortcut problem though.

normal, it wont work! I had the same problem

I know what you go through ;^). I had no problem with the first demo,
but
with the final product! I never before cursed so much while trying to
get
a game working, even swapping CD-drives (that did it!).

It really is one of the buggiest releases I ever had the luck to buy.
But when
you get it working, it's actually a very good one...

Are you using Voodoo 2 ?
Make sure you using the Directx5 V2 driver, I had the same
problem with the latest dx6 V2 beta driver from www.3dfx.com,
when I changed back to dx5 V2 driver, it works fine now.

Looks like the max resolutoin is only 800x600 :(

Hope it helps

Thanks JB: reinstalling the older 3Dfx drivers did the trick! Still, things
are getting weird now... Last week I installed a game that really needed the
newest 3Dfx drivers! Changing drivers everytime you want to play a certain
game isn't really what I'm looking forward to...
