except if you use a wrapper printscreen works
v3 + above printscreen should work also

ps: here the only thing it puts in the reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Digital Integration\Hind]
"Location"="C:\\DI\\HIND"

Cheers, I'll enter the registry details manually and give it a try later.

I get this when I make a screenie (software)

Is this due to the 8bit colors in the game?

i think its becasue of the use of palleted textures - so yeah
hmm just crashed when i tried software mode

It crashes when you try software mode?
Strange, with compatible settings it should run fine.
Or did it crash when you tried a screenshot?
It crashed for me, too. You can see the "shadow" of the error report in the centre of my screenie

just sofware mode
although it ran ok before the patch + 3dfx upgrade

I have just picked up Hind on ebay for 5p! lol. Just arrived this morning and I opened the box to find Apache and F-16 in there as well! Bargain.

Anyway, it's the FLF version which already 3DFX ready and I am running using the Zeckensack wrapper but I am getting horrendous FPS. It's really bad around building and vehicles, especially airbases and gets better out where nothing is.

How should I be setting the settings for a decent running game?

Thanks

sorry mace
just upgraded to a 6800gt and hind has stopped working may need to mess around with it
try lowering sound acceleration if you have hyperthreading try assinging it it 1 cpu

Seems it the visual range setting. You cannot change this throught the preferences menu only in game by pressing ALT 1-9, 1 being the lowest. I can run it succesfully now at about 7-8.

Thought I would just post this incase anyone else is having this problem running it as 3DFX through a wrapper.

Well I have original cd Hind, with boxe, manual... What I will need to get that very nice textures?? and how to get the very high resolution?? I played the game on XP without any problem.
I want to enjoy those Afghan missions again!!

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.

Cannot get the 3dfx patch works cause If I try to install, it simply get an error, I maded all the above, but when the setup program of 3dxf patch is searching for my installed copy, I get an error.
Any idea??

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!!

No joy, I have Hind on that folder from the first day, argghh

Another thing, I also have Apache and it let me install in glide mod, but how can I cinfigure the glide wrapper to work?? I only get a black screen when the game is loaded ( the menus are fine )

hello
i need the no-cd patch for version 1.2 to finally run this masterpiece with newest version and 3dfx support... can anyone mail me the no-cd patch or does someone know where to download it?

i.am.uncool[A.T]gmx[D.O.T]net

help would be appreciated...

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.

Recluse

Never played ANY game in multiplayer, so I have no clue here.
