v5 6000 + K.R.A.S.S. Engine (Aquanox, Spellforce)

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Greetings!

I have a major Problem using Games with K.R.A.S.S. Engine on my 6000. I tried AmigaMerlin 2.9 in Win9x and 3.0 XP in 2000, same problem. The K.R.A.S.S. games say, they cannot find the target resolution. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with desktop resolution and/or color depth however.

Spellforce works, initializing 1152x864, but as soon as i try to change the res, it does the same as AquaNox, giving me this ominous error message and telling me to install the latest 3dfx drivers. Spellforce however only works within the menu, when starting a campaign, the game crashes.

Now i DO know, that K.R.A.S.S. works on v5 5500 cards - so it should go well with the 6000, which it unfortunately does not.

Any suggestions? I'd love to see K.R.A.S.S. powered games come to life on my Rev.3400-A3. Thanks!

Greetings,

Your title indicates problems with Aquanox, which confuses me since I installed it an played a few days ago on my Voodoo5 6000.  I'm using Windows 98se with Amigamerlin 2.9, albeit with some replaced .dll files as per the following thread regarding color banding:

I'm speaking of the original Aquanox, the first sequal to Archimedean Dynasty, not Aquanox 2.  Sorry I don't have Spellforce.

Please let me know if I can help.

Yes, you probably can help!

Please tell me, which *.dll files you have replaced, and by which versions (download sources? Maybe you could also mail the *.dll Files to me as a zip/rar archive?)

Since the problem appears consistently in all K.R.A.S.S. Games (Aquanox, Aquanox 2, Spellforce, ...), it seems to be an engine-specific problem. Maybe your *.dll's can do the trick here.

Thanks in advance!

The dlls that I used were from the Amigamerlin 3.0 drivers for WindowsXP.  I downloaded that archive, opened it, and copied the Glide2x.dll and Glide3x.dll over those from the Windows98 drivers - find them on your computer, probably in Windows\System, and replace them:

I got the XP drivers here:

Hope that helps!
