I think what he meant is that it will not work on 3dfx cards. Someone forgot (ooops) to add a selection for 3dfx in the card selection...of the game. It then does nothing and crashes back to the desktop.....neato fun downloading a huge file and its broken. PAPA DOC

Don't try to select the card just use default and it works fine, well on my Voodoo1 anyway

Well it works on my CL Voodoo 2 12MB in either SLI or with one card. I am running direct X 5 and the 3dfx reference 3.0 drivers I also have Win98 and had direct X 6 and it would not run. I reinstalled Win98 and stayed with directX 5 and it works now. Maybe it is a problem with directx 6? I got the transapent graphics that everybody talks about though. The game might be good, but I can't tell with a keyboard. Jerry
