Thanks, will try and get back with the results. Should I apply to a original Win95 version or over a Abandonware MsDos version?
And what is the correct order?

It's been so long that I don't remember the exact steps, but I think it is the Win95 version that had the 3dFX upgrade. I had a HIND CD which included the Win95 3DFX version which I couldn't get to work with either the dGVoodoo or Zeckensack wrapper, and I think I also did the LEPUS patch on the installed non-3dfx version for comparison. Might have to go back and reread the thread to recall just what I did.

Good luck!!

Recluse is correct. The 3Dfx upgrade is only for the Win95 version. It will corrupt the grayware dos version from the net, or any dos version,requiring a reinstall.

I can get the 3D version to run, with the disk in the xd tray. But cannot get past the end of a mission point regardless of contortions.

That's encouraging - replicated experience is good to know. Recluse couldn't get 3Dfx version to run at all, and our machines are aimilar.

1. Confirming method:did you use Leptos patch from Reluse? Or just straight Win95 to 3Dfx patch?

2. Any special graphic settings for your card or in game? Even if they seem insignificant?

3.Did you try the workaround for the blank screen/freeze at the end of a mission, posted above or earlier? I tried but could not get anything similar to what he described. I believe it was his theory that an "end mission" query was hidden by the blank screen and that he found a way to blindly select the "yes" selection and ao move on.

It's in this thread. Look at Lepus' two posts there that in part deal with the black screen issue and his solution.

Hi - pretty new here. I have the Hind/Apache twin pack with Dos and Win95 versions. I also downloaded 3dfx patches for both, including the V2 update, but that was some time ago. Problem is I don't have the "common_files.zip" mentioned in the readme, and can't track it down, so I've not been able tom complete the 3dfx installation. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I've built a legacy 3dfx rig and am have a fun time bringsing some of the old ones back to life. The plain Win versions runs good. Thanks..
