I'm experiencing a problem with the graphics stuttering (i.e. halting briefly every few seconds) in MGPRS2, which makes the car undriveable. This occurs when running at any resolution above 640x480 in Glide mode. I have an Athlon 700 and Voodoo4 (no FSAA turned on), which is more than enough to run this sim smoothly at high detail. A while back someone else reported this, and the remedy was to copy over the glide*.* files from an old Voodoo3 driver. The problem is, I doubt that the Voodoo3 driver would work on this card, and I can't find it anyway. By the way, the same thing happened when I had a TNT2 in there, and ran in Direct3D mode. I haven't noticed this problem with any other game. Can anyone offer any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, I had the same problem on a V5. I didn't think to trying out an older version of glide. You can get older versions of glide that will work with the V4/V5 at the Battlecruiser site run by Derek Smart.

I had a similar prob on my V3 awhile ago. Ongoing slight background stutter. Found out that only the earliest V3-drivers solved the problem. Haven't tried with recent drivers though.
