GPL Voodoo I Problems

I asked a similar question last week and didn't get much response, so I'll try again now that more people have had a chance to play this amazing game.... Here is my problem... I get blocky graphical garbage on the screen when driving on various tracks. Some are worse than others, but each track I have tried has the problem. The blocks look like background (trees, fences, sometimes just colored squares). This doesn't happen in other games. Here is my system: ABIT IT5H w/AMD K6 200 MHZ Diamond Viper V330 4 meg Diamond Monster 3D 4 meg Sound Blaster AWE 64 I have had the problem at all 3DFX resolutions supoorted by my card. I am using Windows 98 with Direct X 6.0 installed. I have tried the current Diamond drivers (1.1), the Windows 98 drivers, the current 3DFX referecne drivers. Has anyone else seen this problem? Could the Monster be going bad?

I don't know if this will help you, but I had the same problem in N2, without a 3d card. It happened after a while of driving, say 10-15 minutes. I would guess that there is a problem with your 2D card; a new driver fixed the prob for me. Good luck, Matthew K.

I think you need to have the latest Voodoo drivers for your card. I have a CL Voodoo 2 and when I installed the game, I had big black patches all around. When I updated the Voodoo 2 drivers, the game was perfect. James

Me too. The reference drivers also cure other problems in other games, Paul > I think you need to have the latest Voodoo drivers for your card.
