thanks- That's what I thought. I'm content with the version I have-- I just wondered where v1.02 existed. Petar

I have read several posts which refer to versions 1.02 and 1.03 for CM. Where are they? The battlefront and cmhq sites offer a 1.01 patch. A 1.02 demo is offered- but I assume that is not a replacement for the the CM cd exec file- is this a correct assumption? How di I find the later versions?Petar

Thanks to everyone who responded. I fixed the problem-- and am content to live with blocky smoke for a while. I reloaded the 11/99 Voodoo 3 drivers and after resetting the monitor refresh rate, all works again. You were right that the essential problem was not having DirectX 7 loaded as the Voodoo update required it- hence the lack of Direct 3D connection. When the grail.. I mean CM actually ships, I will update to DX7-- I won' be spending that much time with Talonsoft games when Cm arrives!-- thanks again--Petar

Help- I have been merrily playing the beta demo and the gold demo on my PIII 500 with a Voodoo3 3000 at 1024x768 resolution. HOWEVER, in an attempt to eliminate the blocky tiles for smoke, I downloaded and installed the 1/25/2000 driver (4.12.01.1222) from 3dfx. I CANNOT PLAY THE GOLD DEMO ANY MORE! The message I get is"program error: could not initilize Direct 3D graphics" The other issue is that the autopreference in the program now selects a 640x480 resolution in 3d software mode. The beta demo also selects the 640 mode, but it allows game play. I am not a computer savant- as you can tell- I just want to play the demo!!! How can I locate and reload my previous drivers (sorry if a really dumb question)? I also am using DirectX6 because I like Talonsoft games- and none of thisd was an issue until now. I appreciate any suggestions or help! Will the finished version allow the resolution to be selected or will it also be an auto-detect sequence? Petar
