Voodoo driver bugs
Here's a list of known (to me) bugs within 3DFX Win2000 drivers, due
to the fact that I'm asked about them (because of the Voodoo Frequency
Selector).
Voodoo4 / Voodoo5 driver v1.01.01:
- There is no 3d mode available after starting from the hibernate mode, the
screen remains black after switching to the new (and correct) resolution and
frequency.
Bugfix: none known
- Force Commander doesn't run (stable). It quits without an error message
soon after the start of a mission.
Bugfix: none known
- Low performance, compared to the Win9x drivers.
Voodoo4 / Voodoo5 driver v1.03.00:
- Still no hibernate mode available.
Bugfix: none known
- Force Commander still doesn't run stable.
Bugfix: none known
- Some D3D games (e.g. Grand Prix 3) are unplayable due to heavy texture
corruptions.
Bugfix: none known
- Still low performance, compared to the Win9x drivers, but better than the
former version
Voodoo4 / Voodoo5 driver v1.04.00:
- Still no hibernate mode available.
Bugfix: none known
- Some D3D games (e.g. Grand Prix 3) are unplayable due to heavy texture
corruptions.
Bugfix: none known
- Quake 3 "slipped" to the lower left corner of the screen and the
frequency is still as low as 60 Hz, although set to a higher value with the
VFS. This occurs mostly only with modified frequency settings.
Bugfix: copy the files "3dfxOGL.dll" and "glide3x.dll"
from an older driver Version (preferably 1.03) to the Q3 directory and
rename "3dfxOGL.dll" to "opengl32.dll".
- Battle Isle IV: The Andosia War shows in its setup only low frequencies
for the selected resolution, although there has a higher one been set with
the VFS. If a lower value is selected, the game doesn't start.
Bugfix: start the VFS, set the values to their standard, apply and restart.
Run the BI setup and set the resolution and frequency (the higher one should
now be available again). Now Battle Isle will start and even have the right
frequency. Afterwards, the general values can be set again with the VFS, but
note that you shouldn't set the value for the BI resolution higher than
within BI's setup (equal is possible).
