Hi all, Have tried to install GPL on my newish Win98 machine a couple of times. When I select 3D in the options menu (either Rendition or 3dFX), I get a message saying the choice won't take effect until I restart the game. When I restart, it's still running in software mode. What have I missed? Mark

You need to download the D3D rasteriser from http://www.papy.com . Nvidia cards do not support Rendition or 3dfx hardware acceleration. Cheers Phil Lee Legends Central Admin http://www.legendscentral.com

you need to download and install the GPL Direct3D Rasterizer from the papyrus site. read the readme file and add a few lines to your core.ini file located in your gpl folder. get the rasterizer here http://www.papy.com/gpl/download.html Mac On Sun, 1 Jul 2001 18:46:10 +1000, "MarkT" <[email hidden]> wrote:
