![]() ![]() Guys, I feel like I don't know what's real anymore. The Iceman drivers are between the Reference and Diamond drivers in terms of severity, still unusable. Loading BIOS defaults has produced no improvement. Only the S3 TrioV64+ and an ISA Soundblaster 16 were plugged in. I also removed all unnecessary PCI cards. I already tried moving it to all the other PCI slots. The fact that Tomb Raider under DOS works fine gives some hope, especially seeing it does cause issues under Windows.ĮDIT: Try the Iceman drivers: … win9x-30101.zip Check BIOS for any PCI timing related options and play around with those Remove PCI cards for testing (Ethernet, Sound) These are just things I would do myself, not things that I know will fix it: ![]() PhilsComputerLab wrote: Ok quite a few things you can try. If anybody knows how to fix this, please tell me. PSU: 350 Watt, don't know the brand right now Primary Graphics card: S3 Trio64V+ (also tried a Diamond Viper V550 Riva TNT)ģD accelerator: Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D, Voodoo 1 Chipset, Reference Design. RAM: Two 128MB sticks of PC133 SDRAM running at 66MHz No difference, so I doubt that it's the chips overheating. I also tried putting small heatsinks and a fan on the card. I have checked the legs on the CPU chips, they are not shorting. The card seems to be in good condition, some minor scratches but nothing that should impede function. I then tried the reference drivers again. ![]() I tried the Original Maxi Gamer 3D drivers, which seemed to work at first but had the same problem. Then it's another dice roll as to wether it works correctly. It seems that if it boots and works in one game it also works in the others until the next reboot. Rarely these texture glitches seem to happen ingame as well, manifesting as broken or just wrong textures. Similar things happen in NFS III and Half Life. The console screen before the demo shows blocky texture artifacts which seem to disappear during actual gameplay. The dread started to set in when I tried glQuake. I put it into a freshly built machine, installed the newest reference drivers and was overjoyed when it ran NFS IISE perfectly. I finally got myself an original 3dfx Voodoo, specifically a Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D. ![]()
