Rainbow Six

Rabbid

I just bought it, and I've saving up to get it for a bit. I get home to my win2k box and install it. . After installation I try playing. . . . and NOTHING happens. The mouse turns into the hour glass for a split second, and then I'm back to normal.

Problem using Unreal with OpenGL

Preacher

For some reason unknown to me, I´m not able to run Unreal in OpenGL mode. It always crashes back to the desktop during the OpenGL initialization phase. Any clues? And pretty pretty pretty please don´t tell me to use Direct3D, it´s just way too slow with Unreal.

Voodoo3 OpenGL

h-bomb

I installed Win2k about 2 weeks ago. It took me forever to find the right drivers for the voodoo3, but when i run them, the games look horrible. I have a 900mhz athlon w/ 448mb ram. In win98, I would get 100fps, and it would drop to 60 at the most with a screen full of action (half-life).

In-Games videos messed up. Please Help!!!!!

EddiE314

Okay, all of us have played games with video intros and such. Well I just installed Vampire: The Masquerade Redemption, it has an Activision Logo Intro much like the one in Star Trek Voyager EF, it played all distorted as if the vertical and horizontal hold on an old tv were tuned wrong.

Why does my THPS2 crashes ?

Wolf87

The Via 2. 8 and 2. 9 4in1 drivers were known to cause similar problems. Upgrade of the specific components is possible after proper removal. Check also AMD patches. .

Right, i've been thinking about this for a while: Why are consoles so much faster than PC's spec for spec? Well, theyre faster because theyre dedicated, and theyre dedicated because they only run the game.
