mboz Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 After going through the intro screens normally, when I would push the button to begin the game my screen would go black, though the cursor would still be functional. I tried just about everything and what eventually enabled the game to run was to turn down the video hardware acceleration to "Basic accelerator functions." The game now plays normally, though because I use the accelerator for other programs, I won't want to go through the change and reboot too often. But it is nice to finally be able to take a look at what everyone is raving about.

mboz Posted November 1, 1999 Author Share Posted November 1, 1999 An adjustment: After upgrading my acceleration to "Most accelerator functions", I get better results. Graphics and performance is improved. Hope this might help someone else with the same problem. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 Oh, it's that Voodoo that they do. Drivers are a pain in the you-know-where, aren't they. Not if you had a good ol' nVidia, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboz Posted November 1, 1999 Author Share Posted November 1, 1999 Unfortunately Micron neglected to put an AGP slot in the P2 450 I bought from them, and I was not smart enough to check. Voodoo 3 is the fastest PCI that I know of. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
