First off: I have a Celery 400, 128 PC100ram, Voodoo 3 3000, SB 64 AWE. Recently, I re-installed my I-76 and also downloaded the huge 5-part Gold Edition hardware update/patch. Well, after installing the patch, the game runs a lot smoother with better graphics but I have a few problems. 1. Sound doesn't work at all. The intros and menu music works fine, but the minute the action begins, the sound is gone. 2. Glitchy graphics. The game runs a lot smoother (probably well over 60fps) but there are major glitches in the background and the in-car graphics. 3. If I choose to run the game in 3DFX mode, my only choice of resolution is 640X480. Is that it? I've got a VooDoo3, dotcha think I can at least support 1024X768? If anyone can throw me a frikkin' bone here, I'd appreciate it. Mike

Your sound drivers may have been overwritten by the patches. Try re-installing them. as far as resolution. when the original I76 and it's patches were made, even the Voodoo2 wasn't a rumour. while I can't say for sure, I'd be willing to bet 640x480 is the max. Can V3 users force a higher rez like the Banshee guys?? the graphic glitches are present and won't go away this was a 2d game patch to 3d. If you really want that I76 experience, check out the upcomming I82 which has a much more powerful graphic engine etc good luck dave henrie -- On May 17, 1999 A Whale was killed off the coast of Washington State.

The game is too old to work well with todays hardware. :( I have the same problem with Mech2 3dfx version. :(
