From the readme..."Shadow Warrior needs a file called GLIDE2X.OVL to be in
the path" Double check this...

I ended up installing the 3dfx reference drivers over my pure3d drivers.. It
fixed it.. I get in the game now, but now my sound is all messed up.. its
garbled, sounds like clicking going through it with pauses... WEIRD.. I have a
AWE64Gold, never had this problem before!

That's the same error I get:
Could not open 3DFX context. Exiting...
Then it crashes to windows...

Well, that's more than I get...my screen just goes into power saving mode
and then pops back a bit later saying "Could not open 3Dfx context.

for your sound being messed up it could be that the 3Dfx SW is more CPU
demanding (I think...from the readme file that's the impression I got...) so
it could be sacrificing sound in order for smoother play (then again, if you
have a good CPU, that's probably not the reason...)

Hi Ross,
I'm running a PII300, and never noticed any sound related problems before.
THIS is weird...

Well, guess that rules out the slow CPU theory :)
When (and if) I ever get it working on mine (I'm still hacking away at
it...) I'll let ya know how my sound goes...I got an AWE64 (no gold...just
regular tin or whatever it is)

Well, found my problem...I think it's got to do with my video card not
supporting VESA 2.0 properly. Dunno why this would be it, but after I
installed SDD (UNIVBE) 5.3a everything appears to work fine. The sound
appears flawless. The only thing is the stats bar (the one at the bottom) is
corrupted and I delete the dir T3DFX a few times (like the readme says..)
and each time it's still corrupted. Oh well...looks pretty good though, and
it runs at a very good speed.

Ross ...I saw the same thing. Rebooted to pure DOS, ran the
game once from there, whereupon it began (and completed) the
texture rebuilding thing. Game was beautiful! Now I can fire it
up from a Windows95 Shortcut and it works great!

Try re-installing your sound card drivers.. For me, DirectX5 messed
mine up. Went to the webpage, got new ones.. Problem solved.
Not sure it your case is Dx5 related, but try it anyway.
