This has to be my biggest letdown so far this year. Monster Truck Madness
looks and plays faster then this with D3D. I have a P166 with Sceaming3d
and 3dfx. I'm sorry Sierra but I'm not impressed. Lets all hope ALOT of
improvements are made before final release. This stinks.
Depressed
Could someone tell me where to find the demo. I checked at Sierra but had no
luck. Thanks in advance.

I only have a P133 with a Sierra Screamin' 3D and this runs BETTER than
MTM for me!

You must have some config problems here. I've got a p133 32meg, Rendition.
Hi res mode, I've got everything on auto detail, minimum 20fps before it's
start turning down detail. If I'm by myself on track all the details stay
on most of the time. When other cars are on the screen I lose textures on
everything except cars, road, and smoke (I keep these always on). My frame
rate hovers around 20.
1. Make sure you have Direct X 5.0 and that hardware acceleration is
enabled from the control panel Direct X icon.
2. Make sure you have the latest bios update for your card as well as the
latest drivers.
3.Your p166 is intel. I made a big mistake by buying a cyrix 200 a few
months back. It's slower than my 133 in anything 3D. I'll stick with intel
from now on.
Hope this helps,

Howdy. I'm having trouble with the SODA demo. I read in a post here
that it could be run in non 3d mode so I dloaded it, now I must ask: does
non 3d still require a rendition board??????? I have a Matrox Millenium
w/4 megs and can't get it to load. I keep getting an Illegal operation
error with these details.

I own a Dell Dimension XPS P166s with 16 megs DIMM ram. The track editor
loads just fine and looks like it might be more challenging than the game
itself, or at least as fun. ;-) I'd really like to try this monster out if
I can but am not planning on buying a Verite based board at this time.
Thanks Much
Steve

Ya didn't have to floor him like that did ya??

After all, we are running ICR2, N1, N2, etc in DOS.
If this sim is built upon the DOS4GW technology, then maybe DOS is a
good answer.
If DOS is dead, then I want to run it under NT.

I've tried that and it didn't work either. I've recently had LOTS of probs
with my puter as a result of, near as I can tell, www.tune-up.com & the
CleanSweep software available from there. I guess I just used it wrong
somehow. Sigh. ;-(

Well I finally got tired of the madness heaped upon me by using
CleanSweep (still not sure how I messed up) and re-formatted the ole HD and
re-installed everything. the SODA demo now works fine. Way cool. In
640x480 with all textures turned to auto and no other vehicles in site I
can usually manage a fair amount of graphics. this is non accellerated
btw. Haven't tried 320x200 yet but that should do the trick. Now if I can
get Win95 to recognize my homemade wheel I'll be in business. ;-)
