Hi a friend of mine gave me his v5 and id like to put it in an old machine to play quakeworld mods in. theyre better looking than normal quakeworld but pretty much the same.. (www.fuhquake.net)
i looked at the voodoofiles driver section and was overwhelmed by the number of drivers out there! so what are the best quality drivers for win98se for older games like quakeworld? dont need any TnL or anything like that.
thanks a lot :-)

The final WHQL officials, of course. 1.04.00.

..I'm using the latest official 1.04.01b driver.it has updated D3D core and the latest opengl ICD.never had any problems running old (2000 or older) games..

thanks a lot!
so these drivers will give me better performance in quakeworld than any 3rd party ones. just wondering because fuhquake at 4x fsaa brought my gf2pro to its knees.

All the final beta added was the preliminary HSR stuff which didn't work anyway. D3D etc. was unchanged.

dude, your signature is horrible - 21 line!!! if your post is 1 line long then 95% is junk, plus people usually don't care about config of your rig, so please, use 5 lines as a max.

btw, who owns voodoofiles?

In the 1.04.01b, you need to enable the HSR (by the registry) since it's disabled then it will work only with games based on the Q3 engine v 1.17 or earlier if i remember. Even for that you will need also to tweak the game.

I know my sig is huge, I tried to make it use a small font but it doesn't accept the codes... annoying. Maybe the board mod can fix this?

darkfalz · 11 March 2005, 06:07:22

Better.

Yes, better though i have some difficulties to read the green
