loading the game and vodoo 3

[cremo]

probably you ve already discussed about this on this board.. but since the search function doesn t work i have to make a new post.

 

here's my problem.. i have a vodoo 3 3500..

WHEN i am playing the games works fine! no problems at all..

the problem is when i die..

i usually have to exit the game, restart it and reload from the last save..

cause the first time that i open the game and i go in the "load" page i have no problem.. and it reloads the game..

when i die if i click it takes a lot of time and it blocks almost everytime ..

if i go to the "load" page.. the game "chops"

 

the problem is that i have played so far to the level where you go with lando and his starship to cloud city..

i can see the final scene (where kyle has his dream )

but when it loads the new sheme always block itself (where you see the statistics of the level, how many hits, prefered weap..) and i have to restart my computer..

 

perhaps there is a way to solve this?

an unofficial patch for 3dfx or another thing?

Perhaps the WickedGL drivers will help.

Download the wickedGL drivers http://www.wicked3d.com/technology/wickedgl.htm

Then go to your GameData folder and rename jk2mp.exe to Quake3.exe . Now install the wickedgl drivers. You won't find Jedi Outcast in the list so you select Quake3 instead . Point the installer to the GameData directory and select "Install wickedGL regular version" . When the installation is complete change quake3.exe back to jk2mp.exe .

Yeah I had the same problem you do with the loading and all. I have a Voodoo 3 3000 and I have to exit the game everything I want to reload. Also, I had that same problem with the level, so I had to get my friend to send me his autosaved game of the next level. Secondly, I used to be able to play the game fine, but since I've re-formatted, I can't seem to start a new game. It gives me an error about "Unsupported marker 0x68" and that number varies from time to time. I can play multiplayer fine and can play a level downloaded from the web. I'm assuming are problems are both related. I still haven't found a way to create a new game, nor have I been able to fix that stupid load game thing. I have also tried the WickedGL and that has worked to no avail. All I get is some fancy 3DFX logo and that's about it. I'm thinking it's time for a new video card! Hopefully you can tell me if you've had any luck with these problems.

I have a Voodoo 3 and I have the same problems as well! I haven't tried the WickedGL fix. Anyone else have any input?
