Right, anyone patched their 3dFX V3 card with the latest beta? If so, can you run Toca2? Mine's all squiggly and impossible to use. Ah well, at least the bike ones are working! -- Colin Harris ColinHarris in N3/NL Proud co-owner - CLONE N.Legends league http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm ICQ 25485061

Yes. Same problem here with beta drivers and my V3-3500. TOCA2 menu screens are un-readable. Sal V.

That's the first place the PC will look for them and its a way to force a particular application (and just that application) to use a non-standard driver. BTW, I'm not a Voodoo guy, don't even play one on TV, so don't sue me if it doesn't work for you. Just something you hear on the newsgroups... Good luck.

Thanks, Sal, it's not just me. I've emailed CMs support, and if I hear anything I'll post in here. Is it possible to reinstall older 3dfx drivers, I wonder? -- Colin Harris ColinHarris in N3/NL Proud co-owner - CLONE N.Legends league http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm ICQ 25485061 Sal V. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5awD4.14977$[email hidden]... > Yes.

I just got an email from Codemasters - say what you want about them, but I've always found them to be very prompt - asking for my dxdiag info....is it possible that they didn't know about these new drivers and compatibility? Only speculation...I take your comments on board, Andre, and thank you for them, but I'm going to wait and see what they have to say. If they say to reinstall the older drivers then I'll follow your suggestion, but to be honest (although I haven't checked every single game I have) it seems to be TOCA-specific. Will report back with my findings! -- Colin Harris ColinHarris in N3/NL Proud co-owner - CLONE N.Legends league http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm ICQ 25485061 <snip>

Colin, I don't know if this is the same thing as you have, but once I installed the newest 3dfx drivers from www.3dfx.com, menu screens were unreadable in all 3dfx games except GPL. Turned out that I had to lower those three gamma slides in voodoo properties to solve this. I think GPL didn't have this problem because I had the Glide 2.53 drivers in the GPL direcotry.

As suspected, it's the latest beta drivers that were in conflict with Toca 2, and Codemasters only suggestion was to reinstall the older drivers. They assured me they were now working on it, though... -- Colin Harris ColinHarris in N3/NL Proud co-owner - CLONE N.Legends league http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm ICQ 25485061 Colin Harris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:i4ND4.403$[email hidden]... > I just got an email from Codemasters - say what you want about them, but > I've always found them to be very prompt - asking for my dxdiag info....is > it possible that they didn't know about these new drivers and compatibility? > Only speculation...I take your comments on board, Andre, and thank you for > them, but I'm going to wait and see what they have to say.
