Amiga 3.1 r1 has SFFT's d3d files  (it should be the same...)

alpha 16 is online : http://www.3dfxzone.it/news/puntatore.php?uid=447

@omega_supreme,

I installed the SFFT alpha 16 again last night and have no problems, I've figured out that I have to have my desktop resolution set to my intended games resolution to play in fullscreen, if its not I get a memory error and tossed out to the desktop, then when I restart the game it fails on a couple of video mode tests and tells me its starting in a safe mode which ends up being 640 X 480 windowed mode  ???

Another peculiar thing is that I seem to see no change in fps going from 1024 X 768 down to 640 X 480.

Anyway the most important thing is that it's working fine in fullscreen mode 

@omega_supreme,

I' ve been a 3dfx fan right from the beginning (I'm 37 now) and made retail purchase's of a voodoo1, banshee and my voodoo5500, I also have kept all my games over the years (160 or so now) so I have my 5500 more as a retro gaming box.

I decided back in March that the 5500 was not going to be able to adequately play the newest/upcoming games, so I put together an Athlon 64 3400/Radeon 9800 pro system.

I still get excited though trying to see if this great older card can still play these state of the art new games.

I played Doom3 start to finish on the 5500 and hopefully will do the same with Half life 2 

Be aware that internet connection is required just to start single player game.

No connection, no game unlock.

I'm refusing to purchase the game till Valve releases version with no lock, it's not stopping the pirates a bit.

Thanks again to voodoo5, his postings led me here, and helped me get my 3dfx voodoo5500 running the game also.  Props to Amigamerlin also for the drivers I've been using for so long.

From what I see so far, it plays alright, with dips here and there to about 18fps, but I am only starting and haven't gotten in any firefights yet.

I have also found that I cannot turn model detail from medium (default) to low, because after that when I hit OK the game will crash to desktop.

Did you guys tweak the autoexec.cfg file, or use anything else to enhance performance?

Rig specs for anyone curious (all stock settings currently):

1800+ palomino
1.25 GB PC2100
soltek sl75drv2
voodoo5500 (amigamerlin 3.1 R1)
36GB raptor (nevermind storage drives, this is where the game is running from)
audigy2

Hm....

I'm hearing "Beta" and alike terms used for a Game not released yet

Oops, just rechecked, and seems it's out after all
