Tomb raider 2 Patch for 3dfx Voodoo Graphics
JPK
Please tell anybody to me if there is or will be a 3DFX-Patch for TOMB
RAIDER 2 and where to find it. If You know it, please mail me because I hate
the D3D-Version.

It's D3D I believe.

I'm having massive weird probs with Tomb Raider II:
game runs great when you go to Laras home to train.
go to actual game and things slow down to 4 fps.
the weird part is that during this slow motion torture
the hard drive is beating itself sensless, even if nothing
is really going on. right before you die (hardly preventable at this
frame rate) the hard rive stops spinning and things run fluid.
Ive tried reinstalling the diamond monster drivers (including the
update) direct x 5 several times. no luck. THE GAME IS NOT
PLAYABLE at this frame rate!

You've got two cd roms, don't you? Use the first one
for the game - or change the letters around, which
is what I did. BTW it's in the README but hey
I spent an hour or two before I looked there myself.

I too am having problems with TR2
The main problem, I believe, is with my configuration in Win95 (although
it says everything's groovy).
When I tried to install DirectX from the CD, it locked up my system and
even sent my monitor into standby, and after about 5 seconds, shutdown.
The same thing happened when I tried to install DX from the Total
Annihilation CD. I'm having similar problems with GLQuake.
Also, it's too damn dark, and there's no gamma correction in the game.
Another thing, it doesn't let me choose to use a hardware accelerator in
the setup. It just allows me to use "current windows configuration."
Now, I do have my monster card installed with "no conflicts" as it says,
but still no dice. The game just doesn't look the same without the 3D.
Any help?

p.s. are there supposed to be 2 discs?? i only got one in a double CD
package.

TWO CDS ????
There's only one CD in my box (despite having a two-CD case, which is
suspicious in itself). But there's nothing in the readme on my CD
about there being a second one.
Do I need to take this box back ? BTW, I'm in the UK, maybe our
product is slightly different.

I think he meant 2 CD-Rom Drives as opposed to 2 cdrom medias.

Ahhh, it was the context of having a 2CD box that worried me. I got a
message from Core today (very quick off the mark, by the way) to the
effect that if I got a 2CD box it was probably because they ran out of
singles. A colleague also got a 2CD case as well.
The only problem I've had is that TR2 doesn't seem to like my 16 speed
CD. It will regularly crash when trying to load saved games from the
drive (an LG 16xMax). It works fine in my 4 speed drive... just slower
of course. You hear the CD start to spin up, then stop, then start
again, then TR2 crashes back to the Windows desktop.

I haven't had any problems with installing DIRECTX5 or Tomb Raider II,
and it runs very smooth and at a blinding frame rate.
BUT, I've got a MGA Millennium and a MAXi 3Dfx Voodoo card.
and the colours are rubbish. Everything looks too pale and washed out.
Even the FMV at the start looks weird.
I know the colours are wrong, because the colours when using the primary
driver are fine
and if I save a screen shot, the TGA has the correct colours as well.
I've got a MGA Millennium and a MAXi 3Dfx card.
Anyone else noticed any display problems like this?
My other 3Dfx games seem to work without any problem.
thanks

If something sounds too good to be true,
then it probably isn't true.

You may have the gama settings on your 3Dfx card set too high for D3D. That
would explain why the screen shot looks good, because it would be showing on
your 2D card at a normal gamma setting.
