Title: problems with amigamerlin 3.0
Post by joda on 25.11.03 at 16:45:57

hi, (sorry for my english ;-)

i use the amigamerlin 3.0 driver with v_ctrl (v5 & xp).

1. problem: enemy territory - i can't read any font.
2. problem: 3 or 4 horizontal stripes (thin lines) in games.

are these known problems?

use a wicked gl driver to get it going and clear the menu

i`ve ran it on a v 5500 on millenium it took a bit of restarting the game and trying different wicked files

2. sounds like a xp error like on max payne with v5

wicked gl? it's just a patchwork. the visual quality of the wicked gl is not so good :-/

the 3dhq beta 10 has no problems with the fonts in et, and this driver is older than the amigamerlin3.0. maybe i should change the driver....

other solutions?

Umm, I think you'll find that WickedGL actually has BETTER visual quality than the default 3Dfx OGL miniport driver! ::)

At least it has for me (and I suspect several other people!) and I've been using it for quite a while! :P

(C'mon people, back me up here!) :o

Nuff said! 8)

Well, I have never seen better graphics than Quake, or any other Quake powered game, played with WickedGL.
Thats it!

Indeed! ;D

WickedGL is so good that it's the only thing that keeps me from using Quantum3D's drivers on my Obsidian2 X-24 and 200SBi! WickedGL doesn't work with Quantum3D's drivers so I use 3dfx reference drivers.

I love WickedGL (and Metabyte's Voodoo2 stereo driver)!

nothing wrong with wicked gl good simple fix for alot of games , which otherwise arn`t playable and use the most recent version you can find !

only SIN is no good with the high rez version , the in game text is blurred

Yup, blurry text can be a bit of an annoyance... ::)

..otherwise it ROCKS! ;)

It'll be interesting to see what the new MESA-GL driver brings to the scene when it's released! ;D

KEWL! 8)
