After all your hardware building, that's not a pleasant outcome! But have you tried dumbing down your graphic card settings in Nvidia's control panel? Try everything as application controlled or off. If the driver is so old it doesn't have all the settings that might help, try Riva Tuner.

I've never seen these issues, so not clear on specific tweaks. But you know there are quite a few options in the wrapper...one is the "closer to real hardware" option. Also lowering the texture memory selection size if you have that maxed might help. And you might experiment with enabling the vertical synch option under Refresh rate.

Good like UTR!

Hi Guys,

I had it working last fall with my system

Q9450 Quad Core
HD4870
4Gb OZC 1066 Ram

However, first McAfee, deleted lb2.exe as generic virus. Now, I figured out how to restore the file, and turn off McAfee to play the game. However, I've since upgraded my Cat drivers to 9.4. Now the game loads and I can see inside my purple cockpit, but not out the windows.

I think I may delete the wrappers and re-install. If that doesn't work, I will try working backwards on the Cat drivers until I get it working again.

That is one benefit I have of getting laid off.

I will report back with results.

Doesnt matter what videocard you're using. If you have the DDU-update installed (not necessary), it must be set to 3dfx for the wrapper to work.
What purple cockpit?
The videos are just regular bink-videos. Never seen any issues with bink-videos ever.
