Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. The Rush is definitely not kosher. The card's
ancient, but I wanted a 2D/3D combo at the time (I only had a Cirrus Logic)
and the Rush seemed like a good bet, without having to shell out the $$$
for two different cards. For now though, it's all I got. I just figured that
a game that lists a 166+, 32Mb of RAM and a 3D accelerator as its
"Recommended" setup would let my 233MMX, 64Mb of RAM and Rush
run at full detail. Wrong.

BTW, I plopped in a borrowed Diamond Stealth II (4Mb) and it ran even worse.
Funny thing is, when I set auto framerate on and the game hit that
threshold, it
would hang...cold. Never had that with the Rush.

I've finally resolved to run the game in software only. That way, I can get
full detail
at 640x480 *and* 30 fps. Isn't a 3D accelerator like the Rendition or 3Dfx
supposed
to *increase* framerates, as well as improve the quality of the polygons?!?
Guess
I'm wrong, again!

UnREM the FRAMERATE line in your N1999.PRF file.
Only works for the DOS .EXEs only.

Actually, it's a P233MMX, but I get the idea : )
Upgrade time, James.

The original poster should lose his 3dfx card. It is a RUSH
card.

I can't speak for absolute certain about the RUSH. I have a BANSHEE.
Before that I had a Diamond Stealth II S220. Before that an Intergraph
Reactor. You should see faster framerates with the Diamond Stealth in 3D
than regular sotware. As a matter of fact.... Even the Reactor whould be
better than software mode. And none of them locked up with the game once
all was properly configured. I think something is wrong somewhere else.
The 233 should do fine. I even had a K6 233 and N2 was fine on it. maybe
someone can weigh in...

oops, sorry. I still say it will run faster in generic mode for him.
