hi, (sorry for my english Wink

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 Undecided

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! Roll Eyes

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

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

Nuff said! 8)

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

Indeed!  Grin

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)!

Yup, blurry text can be a bit of an annoyance... Roll Eyes

..otherwise it ROCKS! Wink

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