Following PacoSkiinoff's advice (on simracingnew.com bulletin board), I
tried the 3dfx32v3.dll from the 1.02.18 reference drivers and it fixes the
RC2K graphics bugs.
Once it's installed you can take out that new line in ral.cfg suggested in
the official patch, as it's not needed for this driver version.
You SHOULD keep the full functionality of the latest drivers, with RC2K
compatibility. I'd be interested to know if that isn't the case!

To save downloading the whole driver set from 3dfx, I've zipped up that dll
and it put it on my site:

3DNow! UK: www.3dnow.freeserve.co.uk

The file itself is at www.3dnow.freeserve.co.uk/files/v3-10218.zip (181kb)

Will this also solve the corrupted menus problem?

You on old drivers?

Reference drivers 1.03.xx cause rendering problems in the rear-view mirror,
and the dash board may flicker on internal views, especially on stages with
snow or rain. This was a bug introduced to the drivers AFTER the 1.02.18
version. The patch for the game allows you to put a line in your ral.cfg
file which fixes the in-car bugs, but leads to corrupt menu graphics. The
dll from the 1.02.18 fixes this, while keeping the OpenGL improvements put
in by the 1.03.xx drivers.

Mike.
