Is there anybody who can help me or hasd the same problem. I am sure to have the latest drivers from nVidia (co with AMD) ver.3.62 patch for GPL ver. 1.2.0.1 for the right UK version. My config is: AMD Athlon500 Geforce256 (Asus V6600) 64 rams Problem is that I can only get 640*480 res without bad ***up of the screen on left and right sides. There's a kind of horizontal lines messing up the sides here. But in 640*480 it's oke. But I didn't buy such a hardware to run 640 !! Is there anybody with a solution. ps. I have done the blocktransfer thing already. Greetings Antony (holland)
Odd, I have a a GeFore Pro (DDR version) and go 1024 without problems. I am using P2-450 I suspect if it is the problem between GeForce with Althon. Have you got the fix for Althon? Regards, Griffin.

Do you have the opengl patch from www.theuspits.com? this will allow for a better frame rate and higher resolution the the Geforce card. Mike
Hmmmm, how you like the GForce with DDR? Rick Sweeney

I have not tried SDR version but DDR works pretty well for me. Speed on too expensive. I got the CL one but from the reviews I read about SDR cards, I get the impression that others, especially from Asus, are faster. Back to GPL, it runs smooth with OpenGL b2 driver, but I have not yet tried a race to see how it rank up.

As if by magic, the corruption is gone. Mirrors still don't work properly though, so I use the roll bar view only. Andy Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Since you have the CL version of the GeForce, have you tried the Unified drivers running Glide in GPL? I'm considering upgrading to a GeForce cos it will run so many other games so well, but my main focus is GPL. The Unified drivers sounded like they were the answer, but do they work????? R Mc

I have the newest "fix" from AMD/nVidia but it doesn't fix the problem so I just have to stick to the oldfashion 640*480 untill there will be real fix. Thanx for letting me know that it's possible with a GeForce. gr. Antony Cheng Chi Sang schreef:

Hello, Unfortunately, one can only get the unified driver from CL if you are in US. Their site require you to input the serial number bu my serial number (I live in Hong kong) does not. I cannot tell but since I still keep my good o' Voodoo 2 card (Pure3D2) I would love to try th UD but I have serious doubt that it may be work with a Voodoo on board.

Did you get the GeForce fix for Athlon also? I did a micro research on deja and someone is used to have problem with Half-Life. What he did is uninstall the game and re-install it again. May be you should try to uninstall and then re-install GPL. Or you may wish to try nVidia's beta driver which can be found in the "Reference Driver List" at VoodooExtreme site.

Did you not see my reply? Anyway: I had the same problem (I have Athlon 700 with GeForce SDR) - only workaround I found is to press F2 (for replay), then escape to quit the replay.

I have the CL GeForce SDR version, and live in Singapore. I would like to get the Unified drivers as well as I have some old Glide games. Does anyone know if the Unified drivers would run them?
