Hi I tested this game out yesterday and could not get it to work.  Does anyone know how to get it to work on a 3DFX Voodoo2? I have it working on a voodoo1 but wanted to try it on this new system build with Voodoo2 graphics.  Any help would be appreciated.

Here's what I tried:
Deleted fxmemmap.vxd and glide2x.dll from c:\progra~1\formula1
Game still froze the PC
Copied fxmemmap.vxd and glide2x.dll from c:\windows\system to c:\progra~1\formula1
Game still froze the same
Copied fxmemmap.vxd and glide2x.dll from f1vood2.zip into c:\progra~1\formula1
Game didn't freeze the PC but gave errors stating that there were problems in the code of the dll files and that I didn't have a 3DFX Voodoo Graphics card installed.

I also tried the patched *.exe files that I found and those didn't help either, same freezing of the PC as above.


This is a working system that I played two other 3DFX games on within the same night so I know the voodoo2 board works and is configured properly.  One game I played was DirectX 7 based and the other was glide based.
