    Its the oddest thing. Every time I try to play it with the 3dfx minigl driver it just hangs with a black screen and says loading. zip. the default setting returns with some crap about my card not supporting that mode, so I'm left playing it in crappy software mode. HELP!!
    I've updated all my drivers etc. nothing.
    The weird thing is that once, I re-installed all my old drivers and I got it working. Then the next day when I booted up, it wouldn't work. After 2 hours of trial and error, I got it working again - and once more the next day it would no longer run!.
    Just what the hell is going on?
    Can anyone help or am I doomed to fork out cash to get a Voodoo2 in the vain hope it might work with that.

    it will only work with the latest release of the glide drivers. i think, CT had a problem with this and the latest drivers fixed it.

    Yeah I had problems with this game too (BEST GAME EVER by the way). The usual stuff about having the latest glide drivers are correct but in my case I had to go to the Web-Site specific to my 3DFX card manufacturers and get their latest drivers. Then it worked.
    If all else fails I'd e-mail sierra.

    yeah, i had that problem too with my voodoo1 card. just go to www.3dfx.com and follow the links. also, im not sure about minigl? i think i just left it in default 3dfx mode in 600*800 and it worked perfectly.
