Viper Racing + Voodoo3 = No Go ?

Hi there, after installing an Voodoo 3 in my Comp ( which runs great in GPL btw ) in can't get Viper to run. Whenever i will start a race, i got thrown back to the desktop, showing me an log-file: Jan 25 1999 11:47:39 NON-DEBUG MSVC-4.0 Release ====================================================================== No mapfile present ----------------------- DeviceDesc: Intel 82371AB/EB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Mfg: Intel HWRevision: 001 ----------------------- DeviceDesc: Intel 82371AB/EB PCI/USB Universal Host Controller Mfg: Intel HWRevision: 001 ----------------------- DeviceDesc: Creative SB Live!

Hi Michael, We've got a V3 here in the office, and it runs quite well. This crash is outside of Viper Racing, out in driver-land (you can tell, because VR is down near 00400000). I'd check out the latest drivers, that should help you out. . . .

The problem may be caused by ActiveMovie hosing up the driver--before going through the hazardous driver installation time-sink, you might try using the "-nointro" flag available with the 1.1 patched version--go to Start Menu/Run... and type: "viper racing" -nointro which will launch without the intro movie. Has Sierra shipped a patched version that can run on European installations? If not, you can try to get someone to e-mail you the "race.bin" file from a patched Viper Racing\Data folder. Good luck! -Dave P.

Viper Arena! Actually, can't say anything about the next project, except that it's not due until Q3 2000. Dave Broske MGI
