[SuperFurryFurryThing]

It's alright I have found the colour palette problem, and fixed it.

SFFT

[roflkopp]

Are there any release notes for new SFFT Alpha?

[mcmagostini]

SFFT,

The fix on the color palette will make a35?
Or you gonna re-release a34 with the fix?

Regards,

Just installed the 34 version over the 33. Running XP with a Voodoo 3 2000 running on an old AMD K6-II 500 oc'ed to 550. 256 megs of PC100. Ran GlQuake fine, 96.2 fps. Quake III doesn't want to find the GLide renderer, so it runs in OpenGL, kinda slow. Homeworld doesn't want to run in GLide either. Not sure of the problem. Any advice? UT detects Glide okay. It doesn't run too well though, even on the lowest settings. Need For Speed High Stakes runs well. It also detects GLide. I had some crashes with the 33 driver. Dunno if they're still around for 34. Could just be that it's an old game, and not so XP compatible.

these are opengl/glide related problems and they have nothing to do with the D3D core.unpack this archive to your windows/system32 folder to have original 3dfx glide/opengl.this should fix your problems (screensavers,q3 slowing down)..

I installed the DLLs... didn't seem to change anything. Homeworld and Quake III still don't find Glide Rendering. I did get 2 FPS more in Quake I though. =) Do these replace the SFFT34 drivers I installed, or are they independant?

Where and when? Ran already fine on my machine with the alpha 32.

both games dont use glide natively.for quake3 (opengl game),try to copy the last opengl icd (rename to opengl32.dll) to your q3 folder and make sure to select opengl in the game video options.q3 ran pretty well on my old K6 with voodoo3,but I have win98se installed.old pcs+xp=no good,if memory serves.

homeworld is somewhat problematic,as it doesnt support opengl under win2000/xp.check your homeworld folder,there should be a folder named "drivers" or something like that.inside that folder,there should be another folder named winnt (or something like that) with an 3dfx opengl driver inside.rename the folder to win9x (or windows9x,as I said,I'm not sure what the original name is,basically you need to change "nt" to "9x"),and 3dfx opengl (from the ingame video menu) should be available again.

anyway,all your problems have verry little to do with the SFFT D3D core,so if you continue to have issues,I suggest you create a new thread in the voodoo3 section,because here it is off topic.

Lock on: modern air combat is still not working

I cant play NFS:MW whit all SFFT, after 5 mins I got black screen. I tried whit my VooDoo 4, and Voodoo 5, and the same problem...

My first experiences with Alpha 34 are good, no texture corruption so far.
Flatout : Runs fine with min. details, some walls seem to be transparent.
Swine : C&C like game, runs fine with no graphic errors, but freezes after a minute or so when run in full screen mode. No freezing so far in windowed mode.
BTW, Swine ( Full Version ) is freely downloadable here :

I am hving a problem with certain games with this driver
I have experienced various glitches in various games. With SFFT ver35 halo works great. This is the family computer and everyone is ahem "mad" at me for ruining their games.  Here is a list of games and glitches so far

  Unreal Tournement game of the year edition: Cannot play certain levels such as Peak in Deathmatch and other game modes states error :found 4 expected 45677 and other crap.

Tumblebugs: The bugs turn into squares and funky colors.

Sisters game Crayola Magic Wardrobe:not as they may seem. The color white turns turqoise. orange turns to another color. Maybe this is a compatability issue with older directx games?

[Combatman]

THere is a problem with unreal tournement the exact error it gives when i go to play the level peak is: Critical error Serial size mismatch, got 2 expected 43859 and other crap anyways here is the link to tumble bugs.  http://zone.msn.com/en/root/deluxe.htm?code=110429257&RefId=8302 I repeat this is my family computer they are all "mad" at me for screwing up their games with this driver.
