3dfx Archive - Steam/CS 1.6

Francis Hulme Guest	Steam/CS 1.6 21.09.03 at 14:39:12 Is there anything similar to WickedGL that'll work with Steam, because at the moment, there is nothing I can optimise it with, and so I'm only getting 5-20 FPS

The rendering menu is not an issue, the 'default' option uses a dll named 'opengl32.dll' simply rename WickedGL, MiniGL, or '3dfxogl.dll' (the ICD) to 'opengl32.dll', place this file in the gldrv subdirectory (or where the CS opengl driver is located) and it will work.

-edit if minigl doesn't work try older versions if it still doesn't then you will have to use one of the other two.

I just copied wickedGL's opengl32.dll in the counter-strike directory, with hl.exe

for me it's D:\steam\SteamApps\baptiste85@yahoo.fr\counter-strike Wink

so I can play CS 1.6 with wickedGL

but I'm screwed.. with CS 1.5 I use MiniGL v1.49 (looks sharper than wickedGL w/ fsaa), put in the gldrv directory.
in steam/cs 1.6, the gldrv directory is still here, but no way to use the 3dfxgl.dll that is in it Cheesy

I tried to rename it to openg32.dll and place it with hl.exe.. but it just crashes.

I mailed valve to complain about the absence of a way to choose "3DFX Mini Driver" in the User Interface Tongue

Just to put everyone at ease, I've managed to increase my FPS significantly; it's now usually above 25 FPS constantly, rising to about 80. Basically I done everything possible- got WickedGL to work [replacing 3dfxgl.dll in /cstrike with the WickedGL file opengl32.dll, and renaming it 3dfxgl.ddl. Using HLToolz, an FPS optimiser program, tweaking some bios settings, adding 256 RAM [now I have 350MBs], and adding the heapsize parameter to the launch options. There.
