GPL 1.2 + Voodoo3 3500 black screen

by Rolf Weseman » Mon, 27 Dec 1999 04:00:00

I upgraded my computer from PII 400 with Voodoo 2 to PIII 500 with
Voodoo 3 3500.
I use GPL version 1.2.
Now, I have problems, I never had (because this version went good with
my old configuration):

The 1st problem:
When I start the game, I get a black screen. The system is standing.
But:
If I use the glide 2x.dll banshee patch to gpl, the game is running, but
with small, tiny gpl-menue screens, so, as if the menue screen's pixels
were 640 x 480 and therefore only a part of the screen. The racing
itself is running in the normal size. This may be normal for the patch,
but I thought, I didn't need that patch with 1.2 and V3 anymore.

(I changed the frequency of the screen to 75 Hz, have 3-d buffering
disabeled and I reinstalled the game and the patches for some times,
always the same!!!)

The 2nd problem:
When I change to the glide 2.53 patch (I think this is the right version
no.), I get correct screens (in full format) but I cannot change the
game in the options menue to 3dfx. Even, after a reinstallation.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance and

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

I had the same probs until I got the latest drivers. Worked a treat
after that.
