I get "exception error" when I try to start hind 3dfx.
I will try to reinstall it...

I have a CD where I can choose between the 3dfx and software installation. This should be the same version as the patch download?

1 think ive noticed adding fsaa + upping the res doesnt make it any worse - maybe a sound problem

Any reason why I'm getting the 'setup.exe has encountered an error and needs to close' pop-up whilst trying to install the 3DFX patch?

I have a 9800 pro card and also using XP pro and Win95 compatibility.....and am hoping to get this working under the glide wrapper 'a la Davros'

Does it matter whether you run the 3DFX patch before or after the Hind 1.2 patch? (I'm following the install instructions from the 3DFX readme)

Thanks in advance.

patch to 1.2
unzip 3dfx patch to folder
unzip common files to folder (in the readme )
run 3dfx patch

still no joy, I'm using a downloaded version of the game from a few links up.

I have an original copy arriving next week which I bought from ebay so I'll try it with that. Can you confirm whether the original games creates any entries in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software ?

My install currently has no entries in the registry, perhaps this is the problem as it doesn't know where to look for the game in order update 3DFX?

With that higher res, how do the ground targets look? Any easier to see at a distance? Can we get a few more screen-shots?

Thanx

I wasnt able to take screenshots. With the software version the screenshots are only in about 4 colors and you dont see much. In the 3dfx version I only got a black screen.

Used print screen for software and fraps for 3dfx.
