Will Rock any experiences ? running on v5
30.06.03 at 15:48:05
 
I installed dx9
amigamerlin 2.9 T n L enabled in drivers

got it running but after a while it crashed

tried 3d analyser same result

seemed like a bandwith problem

the action gets to intense and it locks up !

multiplayer you can run around for ever with no lock up

i think the voodoo 5 can`t keep up


Here is the Minimum Required Machine Specification:
Pentium III 500 MHz or Equivalent
128MB of RAM
32 MB video card or higher such as Geforce 2 or ATI Radeon or better
Video card must support hardware transform and lighting (T&L)
Windows Direct X 9 compatible sound card
Windows 98/ME/2000 or XP Operating System
Direct X 9 Required (included on disc)
750MB of free hard drive space

any other experiences ?
still working on it!

Hm, the requirement for a DirectX9 Soundcard sounds strange...

What SFX Card do you have ?

Because older Sound Cards are known to cause odd effects (even crashes you mentioned), as well as old Sounddrivers...

Otherwise, I don't know the game...

Note - The T&L Option in the 3dfx Driver (Geometry Assist) is known to cause incompatibilites with alot (all?) of the T&L Games, so don't worry if it doesn't work.

im just using the sis on board sound on k7s5a


yeah good point i remember blood 2 crashes on certain echo sounds , i`ll update the sound and see how i go

tryed the nu driver 5 as well , game looks good but extremely slow

geometry assist did a better job than 3d analyser
3d analyser cause invisible floors and other missing textures

the game looks very serious sam very similar engine

i`ll try the sound driver after my blood2 experiences its well worth a try (blaming the wrong bit of hardware  Grin )

Good news updated audio drivers

amigamerlin 2.9 geometry assist enabled

turned detail down

running well playable anyhow  Grin  (low on hard disk space at the moment , should speed up a bit with that freed )

no crashes

very likely a audio error similar to blood 2

well thats one for the Voodoo 5500

thanks for jogging my memory !

it must look good on a radeon (big ati plug on startup screen )
