I need your help fellow racers...I formatted my HD and then loaded Win98. F1RS will not recognize the V2 card.(Yes I have the latest drivers) My system can and has handled the games requirements just fine. The game will only allow me to install the D3D version (yuck!). Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks guys Edward P.S. anybody know when ***'s Sportscar Racing is due out?
Make sure direct x 5.0 is installed, then make sure you reload the drivers for your card.

Be sure to remove any voodoo drivers from your F1RS directory and all other directories on your system except Windows and Windows/System.Voodoo 2 only uses the drivers in your Win and System directories.It should work fine then. Sid.

Not sure about Voodoo2, but this applied to Voodoo1...... Make sure that when you installed the game it runs the f1voo.exe file and no f1rs D3d file? Sometimes f1rs can move two important files, and thats whu f1rs cannot *see* your 3Dfx card? Check your windows/system directory for Glide.dll & sst1init.dll. If they are there then fine, if they are not, copy them from your original f1rs cd to the windows/system directory and f1rs will now be able to see your 3Dfx card ok. Erm....NO? 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)

You might also want to try editing the UBI.INI file in your \windows\ubisoft directory. Make sure you have '3dfx=1'. If you do this, you may not need those DLL's. I haven't tried this myself, but it may work since those DLL's are not needed for Glide2.43 support (which the game uses). -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
