Voodoo 3 - direct X game problems?

2 posts by 2 people · 13 Apr 1999 - 14 Apr 1999

On replacing my S3 Virge and voodoo 1 with voodoo 3 , several of my games don't seem to work. I'm not an expert on these things, but it appears that my glide based games are OK ( GPL and Monaco GP) , but any Direct X games (TOCA2, Colin McRae Rally), the screen goes black and the PC locks up. Anybody had the same problem - and can help! Thanks

As many users had similar trouble with certain V2 drivers I'd guess that it's a driver/monitor refresh rate problem (I had a similar problem recently with a TNT card and a particular driver release). Try setting the adapter refresh rate to 'adapter default' rather than 'optimal' (I know you won't want to run like this but it will at least identify the problem. If these titles now work OK bingo! (Unfortunately, I don't know of another cure other than an updated driver - sorry). Regards DM
