F1 RS and AMD K6

Hello,

My name is Arne Brethouwer and I got F1rs. I think it is a very good
game, but i'm dealing with big startup problems.
When I install everything goes well. I've got everything you need for
the game. I've got:
-Pentium AMD K6
-S3 64v2 Videocard (i think it's compatible)
-32 mb RAM
-20 speed CD-rom
-and plenty of space on my HD.
-265 Colors
-SVGA Monitor

-NO 3DFX CARD! (but according to the manual and the installation program
it isn't nessecary)

When I install everything, including DirectX 5, I have to reset my PC.
Everything goes well, but when I startup the game i get this:

There is no 3D present

In :DirectDrawEnumerate

I don't know what's wrong, but the game costed me a lot of money,
so please help me as soon as possible!

Thank you,

Arne Brethouwer

PS: All my other games with DirectX work perfectly!

UBI Soft didn't mention that you need a 4MB Video card for F1RS

The readme.txt list the cards :

- nVidia RIVA 128 (Viper 330, STD Velocity 128)
- Mystic 4MB

And, of course any cards with a 3DFx

(It works also with PowerVR 3D cards : m3d ...)

You need a video card Direct 3D compatible or a 3DFX card.
