Hey all, I'm getting ready to install GPL again, and I don't know which box to check on the "Graphics Accelerator" options screen?? It has 3 choices.. (Software, 3DFX, or Rendition Verite) And my card is an "nVidia GeForce2 GTS Pro 64 MB" (Last time I installed the game I was using a Voodoo 3000 card, so "3DFX" was the obvious choice) But which one should I choose for the GeForce2 ?? TIA, Mick

Geez, that's a good question! The better alternative might be to just copy the backup of your previous installation (you DID make a backup didn't you?!?). I have moved GPL from PC to PC as I upgraded and I have yet to re-run the install. Doesn't seem to matter that the Registry settings aren't there. However, if this isn't an option I'd think your best bet is to install it in Software mode then apply the 1.2, disco, and D3D patches after. I'm guessing all this install option does is set up the initial INI file settings. "Mick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You need to get the d3d patch from the papy download page ... then you can select d3d from the grafix menu. When u are there you can get the cpu fix and the disco patch. "Mick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You'll want to select software originaly then get the d3d patch. After starting the game up you'll be able to switch it to d3d which will require a restart to take effect. MadDAWG
