Hi !!

Just loaded in CPR and noticed that instead of tire smoke graphics, I
get black square boxes in their place.

I loaded in the DirectX driver as recommended and everything seems to
work fine except tire smoke.

As a side note when I loaded in Jedi Knight and switched to 3D mode the
blaster fire also comes out as black squares - maybe im being picky but
I prefer tire smoke and blaster fire over black square boxes on the
screen.

Anybody else have this problem??

ps - please remove 98 in my address if replying.

Well, thats how the Mystique handles 3D...

I suspect you have the 2 meg Mystique? I have had similar problems with
other programs - when the video runs out of memory it just spits out
generic rectangles and things (hence, your unrealistic smoke). Wait
until you try the Tomb Raider 2 demo at 640X480 resolution (hehehe).
Anyway, the only solution is to either get more memory for the card or
make less demands on its memory (i.e. fewer textures!).

Good luck, Simon
