UT problem with distorted graphics fixed

Preacher
always had distorted graphics in Unreal Tournament OpenGL, nothing seemed to fix that. Downgrading to the first hacked Detonator drivers was as useless as upgrading to nVidia´s newest stuff. Strange thing was, using Direct3D seemed do solve the problem but tradeoff was that Microsoft´s API is ALOT slower than OpenGL.

Cannot Calibrate Logitech FF Wheel in Nascar 3

tmf2
I have Gran Prix Legends working in W2K and had at one time Nascar3 working. But now sadly enough N3 won't calibrate in the game, the pedals work but when I try to calibrate the wheel (x Axis) it goes way off the scale -12 etc , then freezes.

Quake 2 doesn't work all of a sudden!

MarksmanX
My problem happened once I installed the new HD and made it my primary. I formated my old drive and made it my secondary. I reinstalled windows 2000 and installed the new 3. 81 drivers from Nvidia ( the frame increase in Quake based games is AMAZING! ) and everything worked fine.

Anyone have NFS4 working with 3D accel?

Jester
I went throught the process of getting NFS4 installed and everything worked just great, but when I go into 3D setup I can only select the Software Renderer. WTF? I've got an SLI and TNT which work just great for every other game I've thrown at them under 2k.
