HELP GPL voodoo2 drivers

help!!! just got a new Skywell Magic Voodoo2 12meg and am having probs getting GPL to work beyond leaving the pits. It keeps locking up just after I put it in gear and try to drive out. Downloaded the 2.56 drivers and installed them into windows. Still to no avail it does the same thing. Is there something that I am not doing to get it to run? Do I have to put a file in the GPL folder? BTW it runs Toca2 without any probs and no hardware conflicts (if this helps) Never had any probs with the old V1 card Specs: Celery 333 O/C to 416 64 Ram Skywell Magic Voodoo2 12 megs Capp

You can do 2 things: 1. Get the new Quake3 drivers from http://www.3dfx.com 2. Install the 2.43 glide?.dll files to your GPL folder. Sorry, I don't have the link Jason.

Here it is: (glide2x.dll version 2.43) http://www.the-fastlane.com/ CU Zolli

been there and downloaded the 2.43, 2.56 and latest drivers for the card and still nothing i can drive half a lap now , but only if there are no more cars on the track still gettting the same probs with all the drivers still after a fresh install of Win 98 and GPL and as well Direct X any other guys out there with the same Card?

I'm running a Diamond Monster 2 12mb (Voodoo2) with the 2.43 drivers and have no problems. The 2.43 drivers in the GPL folder should have fixed your problem. Don't expect the latest drivers for your card to work if they are 2.56 because they have a problem with some command. This command is fixed in the Quake3 compatible drivers. As a last resort, install the Quake3 drivers from http://www.3dfx.com but read the disclaimer first. Jason.

I have a Diamond 12MB V2 too and experience no problem (anymore) with the latest 3dfx native drivers (glide v2.56). I don't have any older glide driver installed locally in the GPL folder anymore. I did experience freezes running GPL but solved it by installing an additional (chassis)fan (costs: app. US$5) . Really it was a cooling problem! I suspect the default 3dfx operates the card at a somewhat higher clockfrequency which causes the lockup. The diamond shouldn't be overclocked, leave it at the default 90MHz!
