Dirt Track Racing.....have fun with this one
This is a discussion about Dirt Track Racing.....have fun with this one in the Windows Games category; Alright here goes. I currently run Windows2000 Pro and with my TNT2U I can't use Direct3D. The game I play all of the time is Dirt Track Racing by Ratbag. At first I said no biggy I'll wait for new drivers, but as we all know that didn't help.
Alright here goes. I currently run Windows2000 Pro and with my TNT2U I can't use Direct3D. The game I play all of the time is Dirt Track Racing by Ratbag. At first I said no biggy I'll wait for new drivers, but as we all know that didn't help. Then I decided to try a glide wrapper but that gave me the following error, "Wrong glide version?". This got me thinking maybe if I broke out the trusty old Voodoo2 then glide would work. Well as you know 3dfx sucks and only puts out a hacked NT4 driver....unless you go for beta multimonitor crap. At any rate they work in Single Player great. But when I try to go to Multiplayer though an IP or even my own server the computer completely locks up. I got to thinking the reason was because it has a real time chat in multiplayer. I don't know if this is it or not.
If anyone can figure this out you would be a savior. Right now I have to play the game in Software ("Atari") mode. Although on my system it looks ok and runs fast but the graphics are obviously poor.
I did have an idea though that maybe if someone could hack a glide2x driver so it'll work with my TNT2U. I don't know if this is possible but I thought I'd bring it up. I just want the game to work in D3D or Glide so I don't have to look at pixelation anymore.
TIA,

Is dirt track racing the only mischevious game, or are there others?
OP
Creative Labs Win2k drivers......I've tried almost all detonators too but too no avail.
OP
Actually yes and no. Yes because it's the only game that won't work in D3D, but all others lock up in time in D3D. No because all multiplayer games I play don't work unless they are using software or D3D.
OP
Dirt Track Racing does not lock up in D3D but it never leaves windows and in Task Manager it says "Not Responding"
