Xcar- GL fault, DOS4Gw fault

I've installed the 3dfx version and when I go to play I get a GL fault and a DOS fault. Anybody know whats wrong? I have a Pure 3d with the very latest drivers. BTW it runs fine when I install the regular version, but since I have a 3dfx card I would like to run 3dfx. Bethsoft hasn't got a clue what's wrong. PS: I got the game for $15 at Electronics Boutique, so if it won't run it's no big loss -- Busch Carpentry Plans???

I picked up the same program at EB and had no problem getting it to work with my Orchid 3D card.....While I've read some less than glowing reviews on Xcar, I have to say that It's the best $15 software package I ever had the luck to find. Super frame rate and excellent response with my TM T2.....While the horizon isn't 3D accelerated, the ground and cars are....the track selection is great (includes Lime Rock) and the car sounds are top notch.....I'm not sure why this program bombed because I've played a lot worse than this. If anyone runs across it in a bargain bin and you have a 3DFX card....grab it. You won't be sorry. Just make sure it's the 3DFX version. MartyG

That's the reason I picked it up. I still can't get it to run in 3dfx. I get a GD Error (glide) cannot span 2 MByte boundary message. -- Busch Carpentry Plans??? Architects sure can draw nice pictures Busch Motorsports Remember, racecar is racecar spelled backward

Maybe X-Car installed its own version of Glide which is not compatible with the Pure3D, and you need to delete that in order for the game to use Canopus' version? I'm just guessing here, because although I now and the Pure3D, as described in the faq at Canopus' site. Another thing I've found is that some 3dfx games (like the Falcon 4 demo) don't work too well with the very newest Pure3D drivers (ver. 1.3?), but run fine with the previous (ver. 1.2?) drivers. --- On Fri, 30 Jan 1998 22:22:10 -0500, Richard Busch

Found this in the P3D faq at the Canopus site (http://www.canopuscorp.com/pure3d/p3d_support_faq.htm): Q: Some games I run either hang my system or take me back to Windows. A: We have seen this happen with some games like Uprising, X-Car, and Carmageddon. This is usually due to the game not properly handling the extra 2MB of texture memory. To get the game working you can add the following in the autoexec.bat file: "SET SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2" --- On Fri, 30 Jan 1998 22:22:10 -0500, Richard Busch >I've installed the 3dfx version and when I go to play I get a GL fault >and a DOS fault.
