Indycar II help with 3D Accelerator PLEASE!

I have version 1.02 of Indycar Racing II. I also recently purchased a Creative Labs PCI 3D Blaster (Rendition Verite) and I want to be able to take advantage of this card. Can somebody PLEASE let me know if a patch will be available, of if it will require upgrading to a completely new version, or is there just no way to get it unless it is bundled with the 3D Accelerator you buy. I bought Indycar II because a brochure that came with the card said it supported the PCI 3D Blaster, and there was no indication that there was a "special version" or anything. PLEASE E-Mail me if you have any information,

I believe that Sierra will make the Rendition-Ready version available. Check with them. Also, Nascar2 will be Rendition-Ready from the start. - Mike Boich Rendition

Isn't it amazing how incredibly ignorant most computer store salesman in Australia are. Ask them a simple question about release date's of certain 3D video cards and they don't even know what they are. "Never heard of it mate" is the usual response. Same goes for software titles. Just getting themselves on newsgroups like this one will teach them a great deal. I get the impression that all there knowledge of new products comes from brochures from the suppliers. If they don't get the brochures they remain ignorant. Tony

Thanks very much for the information. I've written to Sierra but haven't received a reply yet. I've also contacted some of the local software vendors but they all think I'm crazy! Would you believe I had to explain to most of them what a 3D Accelerator was? I even had to spell out letter by letter the name "rendition" because they had no idea what I was saying. Well I guess that's what you get for living in Australia. Catchya... Accelerator PLEASE!
