[Dautonico]

Well i here are my spec i hope u can help me out on this one
Sempron 2.2+
MB M825G
256Mb DDR 333
Voodoo 3 3000 PCI
Driver : SFFT 21
MesaFx: 6.2
Game : GTA 3
I just instaled the game, soh i copied the glide3x.dll from the mesa directory into my Winxp system32 directory, then i copied the opengl32.dll from mesa and put on the same directory as the exe from GTA 3, send it to the desktop as a link, and add the -opengl after the line, soh it looks like this "F:\Jogos\Pc's\GTA\GTA3\GTA3FIX\gta3.exe -opengl" So please what is that im making wrong?

Wll doing what you said didnt make the game run on OpenGl, as the 3dfx logo screen didnt show up on the start as it uses when im using a mesaFx opengl to play a Opengl Game.... any help??? what more should i change?

some self-experience:
I've tried "Counter Strike: Condition Zero", i've used MESAFX ,no 3DFX logo on screen, but on the renderor option, it says it's using OpenGL..
so showing the 3DFX logo or not is not the key different between OGL and D3D as far as i can tell
so maybe you are already running GTA in OpenGL mode..

[Dautonico]

Well... did you try it on your V3??? because i just cant get it to wokr.... daam i was so happy with this chance...

I don't think the V3 will have enough power to play San Andreas. I think a Voodoo5 will nearly be able to do the trick. I suppose that this time Rockstar won't make a cheap port from the PS2.

[Dautonico]

Only a v5 will be capable of playing San Andreas.. as it is alreadywith the Need Underground... in here no way of working with GTa3...

maybe, offtopic, but

now, with this -opengl command, is it possible to play *without the frezze problem* Gta3 and/or GtaVC in a banshee and a v3?

PS: @Dautonico: with a v4 NFSU is playable too (640*480 and defaults details)

[kekit]

its not using d3d so, in theory, it shouldnt crash.

[perer]

Well I don't now about the banshee, I am running with a V2 SLI and it barely runs, I don't think a Banshee can run it at a decent speed. The V3 would be able to run it anytime.

@ggab

Im trying to run it on my voodoo 3 with the tips from Perer, but it just isint running, it crashes the same way it did with the normal operation, but im a very new user and im not so used to handle this things about config and drivers, if you could try it too maybe we could get some were
