Setting up D3 on my 98 box with my V5 and when selecting the glide option, when going to play the game, it'll go through the logo's then right before you get the large sun where it's loading data, it beeps and I get a grey screen and won't go any further. If I select Direct 3D it plays fine. I'm using Amiga Merlins 2.9 drivers, Direct X 8.1 and Win 98SE. Machine specs are PIII 866, 384 megs pc133 ram and 20 gig drive. Any ideas on why it won't use Glide?

hmm have you tried the latest Evolution drivers, they seem to work alot better, though AmigaMerlin 2.9 should work also.

hmm what are your settings for your V5? remember when using Glide don't force 32Bit colour rendering that might be the problem also.

what you also could dois update Descent3 to version 1.5 alot of fixxes done in that patch.

@ Gamma742
maybe you might know this odd problem?

Thanks Obi, I'll double check my V5 settings and run the patch and see happens. I haven't ran the Evolution drivers yet but if the other things don't work, I'll try that.

ah no problem , if it doesn't work or that there are other troubles let me know :) I'd like to help anyway possible, it's that I'm a true Descent Fan hehe.
