Voodoo3 2000 Trouble

Post by DarkShadow »

Hi all. I have been having trouble with my Voodoo3 2000 vid card. i can't use it to play in Unreal. I can only use Direct3d. Whenever I start Unreal with Glide some blank error pops up and I click ok and I play unreal windowed. I am running Unreal Gold with Windows XP. Maybe a patch is needed? Also can I go down to 224v with Gold or i gotta stick with this 226 crap? Thanks alot

In short, Glide should be best with version 225. Never had any serious trouble there as far as I can remember.

Is there a way to go to 225 from 226? I heard you couldn't with gold edition.

What drivers are you using under XP?

Well I tried the XP V.1.09 Beta 7 drivers but when I started Unreal my pc would just crash. Then I started using the drivers XP would find on its own. Thats the one i am using now. But at the moment im downloaindg new drivers i just found at Voodoofiles.com. Its the beta 10. I'll try that then post again with my results.
