Stratos,

You will need the 3DFX patch (available from 3D Gamers I think) and a glide wrapper such as dgvoodoo or Zeckensacks, I am using Zeckensacks.

Apply patch and set Hind to Win95 compatability and apply resolution etc settings it glide wrapper control panel, sorry I can' give more detail I am work at the moment.

Good luck.

Yes Statos, I know why. You need to move your installation to:

C:\DI\HIND

and the patcher will find it, same thing happened to me!!

Very late BUMP (closest icon to a BMP \:\) )

So, anyone have any combination of Glide Wrappers that work for HIND??? It runs fine in Software Mode but no go in 3dFx. I got a new old copy of the Hind FrontLine Fighters CD which has the software and 3dfx versions.

Recluse, I believe I tried the dgVoodoo wrapper for Hind in 3DFX mode, but to no avail. I can't remember exactly, and I haven't got it installed so I can't re-test it. Bugger.

Yeah, I think that, sadly, this is the case. Nothing I tried with any wrapper gave me anything but a Black Screen. I even tried it on my old machine with a Voodoo 5 5500 and got the same black screen..but at least I got the spinning 3dfX logo first \:\)

We also tried a Multiplayer connection using HAMACHI to emulate an IPX LAN, but the game never recognized the network. Not sure if it was a Hamachi issue, an IPX issue or just a game issue that needs further tweaking. I couldn't get the game to recognize the network even with the IPX bound to the main network card, so I suspect it is the Network parameters (Frame type, etc..) that may need tweaking to get HIND to recognize it. Any experiences in this regard would also be helpful.
