Hi, all

I've built a new system for my Voodoo 5 5500. Problem is, I have issues with glide mode in games — I have tested it in both Quake 2 and Quake 3. I didn't have anything like this on my previous Slot 1 system, so I don't know where to look.

In Quake 2 I can switch to Glide mode, but can't choose the resolution higher than 800 x 600 and I don't see the 3DFX intro, so I'm not sure I'm running in Glide at all.

In Quake 3 I can't switch to Glide. The option is visible in the settings, I choose it and apply the settings, but when I go back to the settings, the Glide is switched off. The framerate at anything higher than 640x480 is pretty low, too.

Jedi Outcast 2 (a game based on Q3 engine) doesn't have a Glide mode, but it's virtually unplayable. The FPS is extremely low, the load times are around 10 minutes, and many cinematics don't load. I've played this game on a Pentium 2 with an NVIDIA Vanta card back in the day — sure, it ran like shit, but it still ran better than this.

My system is:

Pentium 3@1000 MHz
Asus TUSL2-C motherboard
256MB RAM
Voodoo 5 5500 AGP
Creative SB Live
Diamond Monster Sound MX300
3COM network card
80GB Samsung HDD

Software

I have a clean install of Windows 98SE (I've reformatted the hard drive, too). The chipset drivers are installed, the Voodoo 5 uses reference drivers from v1.3 disk . I've also tried reinstalling the v1.2 drivers from the disk that came with the card.
