Hello, I recently got the first Blood. Works well under software or whatever it is using as default. Since I got a 3dfx card I figured I'd use the 3dfx patch. Sadly it doesn't work. It crashes my computer with a black screen before it manages to get to the game menu and I have to hard restart.

Is it possible to play on the 5500 with 3dfx?

Found the reason.

From Blood FAQ on their website:
If you have One Whole Unit, you will not be able to use the 3DFX patch for Blood. Nowhere on the box does it say that One Whole Unit can be used with a 3DFX card. The 3DFX.EXE patch is for the 1.0 version of Blood only, not the 1.21 version of One Whole Unit. Please do not try and install the patch as you will only mess up your game.

I have 1.21
