Interstate 76 3dfx Support?
30.12.05 at 02:07:29
 
I currently play Interstate 76 with a V5 5500... i wonder if it has 3dfx support because currently it looks like software mode... have no clue where to set it...

i know that the addon nitro riders has 3dfx support but the does the original game has it too? patch perhaps?

"The graphics for Interstate '76 are excellent. The colors are vivid and there is an incredible amount of detail. The games is optimized for 3Dfx and Rendition, but will run under Direct 3D as well. "


Just a snip from the 4th paragraph...

hmmm it looks strange, the mountains and hills left and right of the road pop up strangely when i drive across them... the hills seem to be in motion, and just when i drive near them they change the formation of the texture...

I believe the answer to your question is here:

https://activision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/activision.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p...

Of course, if you are using a non-North American version, there may be another version of the patch for you.

Good luck.

1) What happens in other forums is of no concern here.

2) How I feel doesn't come into play- What other members of the forum think and the rules of the forum do.

I have a copy of the original game, and I applied the Gold Update.  In the original version, you have to choose between Normal and Windowed mode at startup (both are software modes).  After applying the Gold Update, your choices at startup will include Normal, Windowed, and a number of different hardware 3D renderers, including D3D, 3dfx, Rendition, etc.

I am using Win98 SE.  You might look at this:

http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=10675

It isn't obvious to me what this guy did to get the patch to work (or if he did get it to work).  I would suggest you pursue this at VOGONS if you can't find help here.  Sorry.

Well, 920x180 is just too wide and can cause problems with the Forum Template in Resultions less than 1280x1024.

I don't have any problems with its content, just the size (width) needs to be trimmed, it's plain too much.
