Just bought it today from EB in UK. Tried to install it and it is only
letting me install D3D version. States 3dfx card is missing ! I have a
righteous 3DFX card - I have the 3dfx reference drivers installed & the
latest glide drivers (2.43). I actually managed to get it running without
installing by clicking f1voo.exe on the CD there was a lot of disk access
but I did get into the game & the 3dfx card clicked in !
I still have not installed it any ideas?

3dfx reference drivers are not recognised by some DX5 games (im experience
F1RS & the TOCA touring cars demo)

Use either the Righteous 3D driver from Orchid (I am using version 2
downloaded from the Orchid site) or the 3dfx Interactive driver supplied
with DX5.

The latter drivers shift my screen up & to the left, add some diagonal
lines and are too bright so I use the Orchid driver.

Note any game for DX5 seems to overwrite my Orchid driver when it installs.

Cheers

Tony

Karl, I have exactly the same problem, usinf a Flash 3DFX. In
desperation, I installed the full D3D version. I then copied the
voodoo exe to the same directory and launched that. I am not confident
that it is set up correctly and would appreciate you letting me know
if you find a solution.

Regards
