Dusty_Miller11 Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 I have this problem in multiplayer when I try to join a game it gets past the 3DFX graphic, but then all the colors get inverted and freezes. I can play by myself with bots but that sucks. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP MEE!!!
Dusty_Miller11 Posted July 4, 2002 Author Posted July 4, 2002 C'mon ANYBODY!!!! I CAN'T PLAY MULTIPLAYER!!!
Dusty_Miller11 Posted July 5, 2002 Author Posted July 5, 2002 come ON! NOBODY knows how to help me?!!?!?
XeNN Posted July 5, 2002 Posted July 5, 2002 I would buddy but I don't know how... Have you tried reinstalling the game? get the latest drivers for your videocard and motherboard etc? Try that... Maybe DirectX... Get the latest version of that as well. That's all I can give you...
Dusty_Miller11 Posted July 6, 2002 Author Posted July 6, 2002 Well, I have a 16mb 3dfx Voodoo3 video card and DirectX 8.1. I can host, and I can play with bots by myself, but I can't join games. All the colors go into red, black and purple and then it just freezes and I have to restart my computer.
teleguy Posted July 6, 2002 Posted July 6, 2002 I could have helped you earlier but you didn't answer my message. The wickedGL drivers fix most of the voodoo card problems. Originally posted by UrzaTRI It should work with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, but may take bit of tinkering. When I first installed and ran the a similar game such as Medal of Honour: Allied Assault, none of the video sequences at the start would show and the menu system's text was so horribly corrupted that it made menu navigation impossible. Heres how I fixed it: 1) I downloaded WickedGL from http://www.wicked3d.com/technology/wickedgl.htm and installed it. 2) I went into the dir where I installed Medal of Honour: Allied Assault and found the exe file, and I renamed it quake3.exe 3) Then I ran the WickedGL control panel, and told it to look for the game Quake 3 in my Medal of Honour: Allied Assault dir. 4) It told me it had found a copy and asked me if I wanted to install the MiniGL driver there, so I clicked OK. 5) I closed the WickedGL control panel, went back into my Medal of Honour: Allied Assault dir and renamed quake3.exe back to its original name Now when I run the game I get the WickedGL shareware message which says press 'C' to continue, and then the game works fine! My PC is as follows: PIII 700mhz 320MB RAM Voodoo 5 5500 AGP SB LiVE! Value Windows 2000 Pro DirectX 8.1 The game runs like a dream on my machine in 800x600x32 This should also work with Jedi Knight II seeing as though the graphics engine is also based on the Quake 3 engine. Give it a try and make sure you have the latest drivers for your card!!
Dusty_Miller11 Posted July 7, 2002 Author Posted July 7, 2002 As a matter of fact I already have WickedGL and fixed another previous problem (all the text in multiplayer was blocky) and it really improved the framerate in singleplayer too. Unfortunately I still can't join multiplayer games. By the way, what's the latest driver for Voodoo3 3000 and where would I get it? P.S.- How much is a Voodoo5? My card came with my computer.
