I'm getting momentary stuttering every few seconds with the demo. It's not related to screen resolution, detail levels etc, so I'm thinking it must be a subtle 3dfx driver issue. Anyone else running a V3 experiencing any problems? Andrew McP driver version (from properties/current display driver info) version 4.12.01.0533 date 04-19-2000 dx7.0a, no problems with any other game or sim

Where are you guys getting these new 3dfx drivers? I don't see them on their site. Thanks. -John Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I experienced stutter, but only when I was downloading the Battle of Brittain demo in the background :). Otherwise, it was all smooth. I do use the latest Voodoo 3 drivers (1.07 WHQL certified, from yesterday, I think), and DX8. I'd check for some background programs running. -Gregor

I had the same problem until I turned down the Look Ahead from 50% to about 30% Even at 30% you can easily see as far as you need to and it improves the performance "Andrew MacPherson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I have an SBLive! Value with the latest drivers and a VooDoo 3/3000 with the 107 drivers from a couple days ago. Running WinME with DX8. I have this problem with the sound when I try to run 1024x768 and it goes away when I switch to 800x600. I am also having that stuttering problem others report, even at 800x600 with detail set at the defaults. CPU is a C2/566@876, 384 meg ram.. No problems in any other games. ~daxe
