DirectX 6.1, GPL and OpenGL drivers = CRASH!

After upgrading to DirectX 6.1 the beta 2 version of the OpenGL drivers for GPL didn't work anymore. They worked fine before. So be careful when installing DX6.1, it might break more than it fixes! The following message appears: GPL caused an invalid page fault in module GLU32.DLL at 0157:7e957b7e.

Marcel, put Glide version 2.53 in your GPL folder, it will solve your problems. You can get it from 3DFX. Get the non-directx 6.0 reference files, unzip them, and look for the GLIDE.dll version 2.53. On Sat, 06 Feb 1999 16:31:07 +0100, Marcel Offermans

What CPU do you have?, I have an AMD K6-2 and I am getting the same problem, but it seems from other messages that with intel CPUs you don't get the problem. Best regards, Alexis.

Greetings, I'm getting some really distorted engine sounds with GPL and my soundblaster 128, using the latest drivers, and with the volume in the game turned way down. I seem to recall seeing a post on this a while back (before I bought the card), but I can't remember what the fix was. Suggestions? Thanks, Gleb
