Problems with Installing GPL on Banshee machine

5 posts by 4 people · 21 Dec 1999 - 21 Dec 1999 20:26 UTC

Hello, It seems everyone here know tons about GPL, so here goes. I tried to install GPL on one of my home computers with a Banshee card. After trying to start the game, I would see the intro screen, but after a while, I would get bounced out to my desktop. Any ideas? The system in question: P2-450 320 megs RAM Abit BH-6 Creative Banshee Blaster SB Live Value Adaptec 2940AU SCSI card Yamaha cdr6416 Asus 36X CD-ROM WD 27.3 Gig (7200 spin) Expert Fujitsu 17.3 Gig (5400 spin) Fujitsu 8.4 Gig (5400) Link Pro 10 base NIC Diamond SupraMax D-link 5 port USB hub MS DSS 80 Speakers, and some normal, non-digital speakers. ACT LABS Force RS ACT LABS Force RS Shifter ACT LABS GS Just did a fresh install of Win98 SE. OK, so I didn't have to list EVERYTHING, but I am a hardware junkie and like the look of my list on my test machine. :) Raymond ACT LABS
Thanks guys. I will try the 3dfx reference drivers. I don't have a V3 on that machine because I am waiting for an Asus V6800 Deluxe. I know it doesn't have Glide support, but I have the luxury of Glide on another machine. I also play a lot of FPS and like the framerates and the better colour that the TNT boards offer. IMO. I have already installed gpl 1.2, but am using the Creative drivers now. Will try the reference ones. On Tue, 21 Dec 1999 15:26:25 -0500, "Patrick Blouin" <[email hidden]> wrote:
