Screamer II - 3Dfx patch causing crash - anyone know why?

I recently installed a patch for Screamer II called "sc3dfx.exe" It was to install 3Dfx as I understand it. What I have found since is though the game will only run in 3Dfx mode prvided the keyboard is only used as a control device. If a joystick or wheel is selected the game crashes at the first screen. Has anyone else found this and is there a known fix?

Hi, I think you must use the setup program from Screamer Rally (? in german Bleifuss Rally) or from 'Bleifuss Fun' (don't know the english name ...) Greetings, Mark

You have to use the setup from Screamer Rally. IIRC I copied the config.dat file from SR\Config to S2\Config and it worked fine after that. Cheers Mike ~~~~
