game with 3dfx

[ballay_baz]

Hi,
I have the 3dfx card and whenever i try to play a game with it, the game crashes
I can go as far as choosing the team but before the first appearence of umpires, the game crashes

What is wierd though is that my display becomes very large (600x600) whil i normally use 1280x..

Any ideas or anyone who might have some clues regarding how can i fix it


thx

1. Try to update directx
2. Use software rendering within the game.

my directx are latest
by the way, i can play with direct3d and software rendering.
But i wanted to try out 3dfx because i think that might give me better graphics (is this true).

If not, I wont bother and just keep using software rendering

What graphics card do you use ?
3dFx rendering won't work if you have an "onboard" (or integrated) graphics subsystem like the Intel 810e, intel 845, 865 etc.

i have 3dfx voodoo3 and have all the latest drivers for it
maybe the 3dfx rendering for XP is not working prpoperly????

Voodoo cards do not work properly with directX 7 and above, maybe that is the cause of your problem.
