I run GPL version 1.2 and WinVroc 2.1 with Vroc Fix. I have the very old (over a year and a half i think) OPEN GL drivers from Papyrus. Runs on my 32 MB Creative 3D Blaster Savage 4 video card that does not support 3DFX. I get much better frame rate now, much better graphics, but I get lock ups whenever I press F10 to change view, and replay color is all **** up! If I mess with resolution settings the game mode will go screwy in color as well. I have played with the core.ini values but they have no effect on these problems...anyone?

Yes, I have Diredt X 7.0a and the latest drivers for my card (3ds4w9x). So is there help out there for me?

I've downloaded both BETAS (first one from Sierra and second one from PITS) and the files inside are all dated 10/28/98 and the same exact size so it doesn't matter which beta you get. Neo <[email hidden]> wrote:

Is that the first or second OpenGL BETA you're using? Neo
