I'm trying to get Metal support on this machine, which has a VIA/S3 ProSavage8 chip with 32MB shared memory. I think this is a derivative of the Savage2000. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work?
I've installed the 2.0.3.0 Metal driver from here and the Diamond Stealth Savage2000 patch for Unreal Tournament since I figured that had the best chance of working. Metal shows up as a supported device in the video mode selection screen, but when I run the game it defaults to software. The 'Video Driver' field in the ingame menu just says 'VideoDriverClassName'.
UnrealGold does the same thing, but its older Metal.dll isn't compatible with the Savage2000 anyway AFAIK.
The machine is running Win98SE + DX9c + KernalEX.
