rec.autos.simulators

I've installed the 3dfx version and when I go to play I get a GL fault
and a DOS fault. Anybody know whats wrong? I have a Pure 3d with the
very latest drivers. BTW it runs fine when I install the regular
version, but since I have a 3dfx card I would like to run 3dfx. Bethsoft
hasn't got a clue what's wrong.

PS:  I got the game for $15 at Electronics Boutique, so if it won't run
it's no big loss

I picked up the same program at EB and had no problem getting it to work
with my Orchid 3D card.....While I've read some less than glowing
reviews on Xcar, I have to say that It's the best $15 software package I
ever had the luck to find.  Super frame rate and excellent response with
my TM T2.....While the horizon isn't 3D accelerated, the ground and cars
are....the track selection is great (includes Lime Rock) and the car
sounds are top notch.....I'm not sure why this program bombed because
I've played a lot worse than this.  If anyone runs across it in a
bargain bin and you have a 3DFX card....grab it. You won't be sorry.
Just make sure it's the 3DFX version.

That's the reason I picked it up. I still can't get it to run in 3dfx.
I get a  GD Error (glide) cannot span 2 MByte boundary message.

Maybe X-Car installed its own version of Glide which is not compatible
with the Pure3D, and you need to delete that in order for the game to
use Canopus' version? I'm just guessing here, because although I now

and the Pure3D, as described in the faq at Canopus' site.

Another thing I've found is that some 3dfx games (like the Falcon 4
demo) don't work too well with the very newest Pure3D drivers (ver.
1.3?), but run fine with the previous (ver. 1.2?) drivers.

Found this in the P3D faq at the Canopus site
(http://www.canopuscorp.com/pure3d/p3d_support_faq.htm):

Q: Some games I run either hang my system or take me back to Windows.

A: We have seen this happen with some games like Uprising, X-Car, and
Carmageddon. This is usually due to the game not properly handling the
extra 2MB of texture memory. To get the game working you can add the
following in the autoexec.bat file: "SET SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2"
