New Diamond Monster2 Drivers

Has anyone else tried these drivers (m3d205)? I find an annoying cursor shadow in the menus otherwise they work OK. Don't know if they affect framerate (and since I didn't check b4 I installed them, I'll never know ;). Ben

I have them installed without any problems so far.

I have just downloaded the new drivers and greatly regret it. On 'Colin McRea Rally' they cause white triangles on screen, and Grand Prix Legends was totally screwed up until I reinstalled the older drivers and then all was well again. Sorry to be so negative PJ

The drivers have installed ok, but how do I get the MonsterII control panel ?? The 3dfx reference one keeps re-installing itself. I`ve removed all files and registry entries prior to installing the MonsterII one`s. Please help. thanks, Jason

I'm having problems with the new drivers as well. Viper's all fouled up (Oct. demo 2.2; the screen's all milky-white and FPS is down). In GPL, FPS has taken a slight hit and my sound has started popping. Trouble is, Diamond's removed the old(203) drivers from their website. Their tech support, after you wade through several automated exchanges, says to expect a reply in 2-3 days. Anybody know where else I can get hold of the previous drivers, or the m3dii203.exe file?

Id try 3dfx's website www.3dfx.com then check out their fan pages and try some of the 3dfx user sites I havent recently been there but remember some of the sites carrying drivers :) hope it helps David Hudson "Gambler 1" Team 3DFX NROS Racing Team http://www.groupz.net/~augusta/team3d/3dfx.htm Director of ARSE Online Racing League http://www.groupz.net/~augusta/arse2/stats/arse2.htm I'm having problems with the new drivers as well.

Thanks. However, I kept digging and rounded up some of the version 203 drivers, dated 9/98, on Diamond's German FTP site. They hadn't updated their site with the new ones yet, so I got lucky. If anyone else needs 'em, the address is: http://www.diamondmm.de/drivers/DIAMOND/GAMEBRD/MONST3D2/files.htm The file's called w9xm2203.exe. Who knows when it'll vanish, too. Steve B.

No such problems here, smooth as silk. > I have just downloaded the new drivers and greatly regret it.
