Hi,

I am struggling to get Carmageddon working on my Voodoo2 card.  It has been a very long time since I did this, and I seem to be missing something.  I've tried several versions of the Glide drivers and followed the upgrade instructions for Carmageddon and Voodoo2, but it just won't work.  Mostly the program window runs Voodo2C.exe and says "finished" without doing anything.  Trying to run in DOS or Windows98 DOS mode just hangs with a black screen.

If anyone has this working, I would appreciate any tips, such as what version of the drivers that you are using, and steps that I may have forgotten.

Thanks

It seems that my testing method was flawed, and each time I replaced the Glide file to test run Voodo2c.exe, it was not executing properly - perhaps something wrong got sent to the card.  I tried the most recent 3Dfx reference drivers, copied the Glide files to the game directory, restarted the computer, and now it is working (fingers crossed).
