SFFT alpha drivers - V3/4/5 - Join to Testing

Impossible. The errors when using max. AA make the BSOD look like if you have done too much memory oc ... no visible letters.

I had a BSOD myself with Codename:Panzers Phase 2 :

STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0xBFA2A03C,0xF2DBBA14,0x00000000)
 3dfxvs.dll - Address BFA2A03C base at BF9C3000, DateStamp 45019d46

Testing continues...

DScaler with DeInterlacing Mode "Scaler Bob" is flickering ugly with SFFT40 (just as my Radeon does). The TV-Picture is much better with SFFT37...

I have one question - is there any way of SFFT or someone else, that perhaps would help him, could implement (improve) some form of hidden surface removal (not at all necessarily configurable) for Voodoo cards?
Because the sheer fillrate required in the modern games (e.g. Quake4) is killing them...

Is there anyone that helps SFFT or is he on his own?
What about all the neat projects that were active some years ago like Glide_XP and all the drivers from other people like Mikepedo, x3dfx,...couldn't those people all join SFFT's great efforts?

(I'm really interested about that HSR because it's the only sure way to really boost performance...)

NOLF runs strange, too ... 32 Bit is always faster than 16 Bit! And I wondered why it runs like on a Voodoo3 ... until I switched to 32 Bit. Another SLI bug, I assume. Switching the resolution ingame from 32 to 16 Bit causes the "famous" colored square to be visible. Tested with V5 5500 AGP and Alpha 40 (39 behaves the same).

Ok, I discovered that, VSync has to be activated on SFFT37 for a good TV Picture. If you play a game with VSync disabled, you have to reenable VSync in V.Control, disable the Voodoocard in the displayoptions and re-enable it (only possible if you use an other primary display card) I think, SFFT40 has the same problem...

[Combatman]

is there any idea of how to correct the train simulator problem?

[SuperFurryFurryThing]

Try testing the train simulator with the Alpha 40 driver.

I try to play Flatout2, using the new SFFT40 driver.
The menus are ok, but in the game i can see the cars. The same behaviour as in the NFS Underground game.

Did i miss something ?

FlatOut 2 runs fine. You just have to disable "Nachbearbeitung" (in german) in the setup menu. The option on the right of triple buffering.

Danke Raff !

It's the so called "post Processing" option whitch has to be disabled !

I'm impressed of how good the game runs.
Even at 1024x768x32 it is playble. ( decent fps )
Good work SFFT !!!

I tested the game with an Venice A64@3700MHz, 1Gb Ram with my v5 5500 PCI.

Yay, another SFFT driver! But PLEASE, SFFT, start to write some release notes! Just one or two points of what's been improved since the last release. Otherwise I assume that you're fixing problems that have been listed here.
