can't get it to run... There are many polygon placement problems, the game crashes, it's a hell. All latest "common"drivers installed, did I forget a patch or something? Please help, I'm VERY disappointed ! Another question: should it run with MS Win2k Pro? With my Voodoo3 it was OK...

It's a hit and miss affair I'm afraid, some people seem to get it to run properly, especially with V3's, I've never been able to run it in Win2k with my V5, I didn't have such problems with my V3-3500 Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://members.prestige.net/bttw/teammirage/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com
It seems I did not explain my problem correctly: it does NOT work with Win98. Win2k was only the second and optional part of my question.

Ah, ok, well, I don't have a problem with Win98 and GPL with a V5, assuming you have the latest drivers and such from 3Dfx, I can't really offer much in the way of advice, sorry Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://members.prestige.net/bttw/teammirage/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com
Win 98 and V5 5500 PCI running GPL without a problem here. Did you try using the d3d patch? Makes it much smoother than glide. I only have a PII 350 ,128 PC100 RAM, and SBLive! value and it runs awesome. Try different V5 driver sets also. Almost forgot ,I am running DX8 also. Hope this helps. Don't give up.

John, I think you need George Smileys Banshee and mirror fix to run GPL with an V5500. I tried the D3D driver to and the colors looked washed out and lower frame rates. I would recommend sticking with Glide. Anyway there is a link to Georges Glide drivers at the following GPLE site. http://start.at/KOTR Good Luck, DaveB
On my my K7-900/Voodoo 5500, GPL looks and runs better under Glide than D3D...any day. --Steve Smith Doug Hook <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hYn26.19409$[email hidden]... > Win 98 and V5 5500 PCI running GPL without a problem here.

If you have any of the newest drivers AND have gpl patched to v1.21 then your V5 should run GPL just fine. Try the different settings, 2xfsaa, 4xfsaa, single chip, and fastest. The first batch of updated drivers that came out in August did NOT run gpl in 2xfsaa. Anything from Setember on should be fine. dave henrie "John Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:92cass$7q7$[email hidden]...
