Hi,
I just bought Grand Prix legends and I can't get it to run
except in software mode.
AMD K6-2 300MHz
DFI P5BV3+ motherboard with latest BIOS and latest VIA drivers
64MB PC100 RAM
Win98 + all critical updates + DX6.1 + DXMedia6.1
Voodoo3 2000 AGP (driver version 1.02.18)
SBLive Value (Live!Ware 3.0 drivers)
Maxtor 3.5GB PIO Mode 4 drive
WD 8GB UDMA/33 drive
ZipCD650 Rewriter
Acer 40x CDROM
Now I installed this puppy and expected it to "just work" (I select
"3dfx renderer" during the install). Every time I start GPL, I get the
3dfx "logo", then I get a black screen. ESC-RETURN-RETURN doesn't get
me back to windows, CTRL-ALT-DEL pressed repeatedly does nothing. The
computer is wedged... I have to power cycle to get it back again.
So, I downloaded the GPL 1.2 patch... same problem.
I see a lot of messages about people running GPL with the various
Voodoo3 cards.... how did you do it? What V3 driver are you using?
What version of DirectX?
Other DX6/3D-accelerated games work flawlessly on my system (Need For
Speed III, Re-Volt).
Thanks,
Ed
