How big was the demo ...? It should be 18mb and from www.papy.com there are two others floating about of about 12mb each that wouldn't work for me. -- Mick

Thought I'd give this a whirl, but ran into some nasty problems. First, the Voodoo5 is not recognized, when choosing '3dfx' the game just won't start. I did get the D3D patch to work but that looks rather ugly. I tried to apply the official game patch in hope for an updated rast3dfx.dll, but for obvious reasons I couldn't apply it. Is there such an updated DLL available somewhere? Secondly, the sound is all distorted. In the options, all the check- boxes for the sample rates are greyed out, and it does sound like 2bit/4KHz. Is there a way to force the use of a certain sample rate through any of the INI files? Mind you, the soundcard works great in other games (F12K, GP3, EECH ...). Thanks, Jan Duron800, 384MB, V5 5500, MSI K7T Pro mainboard with onboard sound, Win98FE, latest drivers for everthing.
