Blood Omen2 & Neverwinter Nights vol.2

[leong]

Hello again guys. My greetings to nightbird (Hope you're well pal)

Well, i successfully run neverwinter nights on my pc (celeron 635mhz, voodoo3 3000 16mb, 256ram and directx8.1. (i work with voodoo series driver for xp without 3dfx tools). I know wonder if anyone knows how to run the videos of neverwinter nights (coz i can't view them but hear only sound). Is there any codec required or what?

Also, if anyone knows how to run blood omen2 without crashes? any tips? Coz althouh the game runs ok,it is fully playable only in chapter one. Then the game crashes and rebbots my system. And when i send an error report to microsoft, it informs me that the file 3dfxvs.dll is responsible for that.

P.s NIGHTBRID -I await for your help. And lastly, i installed the ssft drivers you told me but that made my pc display problematic and in the end i was forced to format the disc and reinstall xp.

With Blood Omen2, without a demo or the game or somebody knowning the game, no possible to answer except to try a better driver that the generic MS driver that you're using, i guess.

Hum, this is the first time that i hear that somebody crashed with the SFFT driver. You say "my pc display problematic" but how ??

ok, i run blood omen2 with the sfft driver COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. NOW THE ONLY GAME I CANNOT PLAY IS ENCLAVE -------- 3DFX FORUM RULLLEEEEZZZZZZZ. IF YOU FIND A WAY, YOU ARE A GOD

Wouah, super !
you're using the last SFFT (alpha 17 ?) and what setup in the driver ? (or the game ?)

About NeverWinter Nights, the game runs with MesaFx ?

Enclave, i tried the demo and OpenGl under ME with a Voodoo 5 but i crash.
Well, i wonder if the demo supports really OpenGl ? that seems different with the full game...

yep, i play it like hell these days. It's a very addictive game. Try it. Well, i use the sfft driver at 800x600, bilinear filtering and 16bit textures but it runs smoothly. sFFT IS THE BEST DRIVER I HAVE EVER PUT IN XP FOR THE VOODOO3 CARD. In Neverwinter, although the game is a bit slow, it runs without crashes. I used the mesafx -latest driver- along with a configuration patch that someone here told me to download. Well, that's it for now. I have to go. If you find any news about enclave, tell me ok? Have a nice day man!!!
