I downloaded the latest drivers from 3dfx in order to see if that would get me the "dashboard view" from my 12 meg V2 card (yes, I know it should work with 12 anyway, and no, the new drivers didn't help) and now it seems that the game is much darker than before. Could the new drivers have caused this? Or am I simply going finally, completely mad? GPL looks as before to me... TIA K. Dheano -- To reply by e-mail, delete the "o" from "deano".
Khing, I would make sure that in the game that the wide screen option is turned off; that could get you dashboards and *brighten* up your day! Don't have a clue about the darkness thing though, I don't have a Voodoo2. Ryan

My NFS3 is dark also and I can't change the gamma rate. I have tried the latest Diamond drivers and I'm using the latest reference drivers now. On the track Aquatica, there are sections that are way too dark, and the lights from the car, I can't see them on the road. I need some assistance. EA or Diamond speak up.

% Khing, % I would make sure that in the game that the wide screen option is turned off; % that could get you dashboards and *brighten* up your day! Don't have a clue % about the darkness thing though, I don't have a Voodoo2. The latest Voodoo2 drivers seem to have monkeyed with the gamma settings (it goes through cycles). Change the gamma settings for your card, not via the program. -- **************************** Michael E.

When I installed the new drivers, the gamma correction sliders seemed to stop working and I can't turn it up bright enough for my liking, so I'll probably go back to the old drivers. Rick H.
