Supertanker Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 I just ran into the bug still with the 1.07.00 official drivers and DX 7.0a. I think it took longer (4 turns of All or Nothing instead of the usual 1 or 2), but that may be just luck. ------------------ "Late evening turned to early morning as you sat with fists tightly gripped and thumb poised, anxiously awaiting the next cartridge of goodness.

Private Pike Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 I thought that the new (1.006) V3 drivers had solved this problem but I've just had 2 white outs. the first after about 1:30 hrs of a TCP/IP game. The second occured 30 mins after the reboot in the final turn and I missed my 25pdrs brewing his only Panther thus wining the game for me. The screen was white but I heard the clang as it was hit. Very fustrating. 3DFX promised to look into this months ago. Have they come back at all with anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertanker Posted November 30, 2000 Share Posted November 30, 2000 DX8 seems to have fixed it for me as well. In accord with 3dfx's instructions on installing the new drivers, I uninstalled the 3dfx tools, rebooted, installed DX8, rebooted, installed 1.07.00 drivers, rebooted. After that, I played the last 20 turns of All or Nothing with full trees, transparent smoke and buildings (and there was a lot of smoke & burning stuff), at 1024x768. This is the configuration and scenario that was guaranteed to whiteout within 3 turns, but not even a hint of the whiteout bug this time. Yay! ------------------ "Late evening turned to early morning as you sat with fists tightly gripped and thumb poised, anxiously awaiting the next cartridge of goodness.
