Indycar2 3DBLASTER

The 3D Blaster IS a rendition board. You need an exe file from Sierra's website (under the guise of a patch for Cyrix chips and also a SPD3D (I think its this file) from VQuake or similar. A bit of fiddling with bat file and your there. You won't have the 5 updated tracks of course but still a vast improvement. Dean

Hello can someone help me i have a 3d blaster and i have indycar 2 i want the 3d excelerated version of it do i have to buy the game again or can i install somthing like a patch for it please help me. thanx in advance Glenn

You need to buy & install a 3D card based on the Rendition Verte chipset. I do not believe the game is compatable with a 3D Blaster. -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

This depends on whether the 3D-Blaster is PCI or not...The PCI version uses a Verite chipset, and does indeed support ICR2-3D. A patch is available at the Sierra site: http://www.sierra.com/papyrus The patch is directed towards Cryrix-owners, but works perfectly for Blaster cards. =) Best Regards, Marc Marc J.

If you guys want to run ICR2 in rendition mode, go to: ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/patches/sports-sim/ and get the icr2rend.exe file. After this, copy the file to your indycar directory. Step 2 copy the speedy3d.uc file from nascar2 directory to the icr2 dir. Run the exe and it will be in rendition mode. You will not get the enhanced tracks, but it will run much smoother... Tim

I have a 3D blaster PCI, and it works fine with ICR2 3D. I think that it is the VL version of 3D blaster that would not work

Both the 3d Blaster PCI and the 3D Blaster VLB use the rendition chip. It is the Graphics Blaster 3d which uses the CL chipset and is incompatible w/ rendition ready programs.
