I can't get it to work at all either.  I re-installed (full install) S2 and
put the new file in the S2 folder and ran it.  It locks the computer hard
right after the 3DFX logo comes up.  I have tried it with all different
configurations --- no go.  (I get no error message)

If you get it to work, let me know how...

I did exactly you as you did and it runs great no errors or problems!
I have DirectX 5.0, FLASH3D, 64 megs, latest 3DFX drivers can't think of
anything else can you?

Are you running from WIN95? Mine wouldn't work until I went back into
WIN95. I was in MS-DOS mode but no go.

I did a fresh install, 100 megs, placed the file in my S2 directory
and dblclicked from WIN 95!  I have no 3DFX logo. It just comes up
with the demo and goes. I have a 166 with Monster and all the latest
files...except 109. Runs CPR SLOWER for me. So I'm at 108.
Really worth the effort. There are a lines between the road textures,
but the frame rate more than makes up for it. Well worth any effort
you need to get it to work!!!

Thanks for all your replies, Another reader emailed me the solution:
You need to install the 65k colors version (I had only installed the 256) and
also
place glide2x.ovl in the S2 folder...

That did the trick.

I got this problem too..

You need to copy all the files from the cdrom GFX directory into the
c:\s2\gfx directory
it actually errors, I unplugged my monitor from the Monster 3d and plugged
it into my
video card, and heh presto CANNOT FIND FILE ....

Hope this works, I was looking forward to playing S2 with this patch, and it
p......ed me
off for a day whilst I worked it out

Good Luck
