Heretic II is an OpenGL game. Deus Ex and Unreal share the same engine, and I've never seen the splash screen show up with those games. Tomb Raider; I've only seen it with a Voodoo 1, but perhaps it would show up with a Voodoo 2?

Try playing Turok - you will see the splash screen on that game no matter the 3dfx card - if not, then you have problems.

Been a while since I last tried these games on a Voodoo card, but I think the splash screen does show up in GLQuake if you use MiniGL instead of the standard OpenGL renderer.

EDIT - splash screen works in GLQuake when using MiniGL 1.48 or older.

There are a quite a few later Glide games that don't show the splash screen.

All UnrealEngine games explicitly bypass the splash screen for GlideDrv. idTech 2 and 3 games also bypass the splash screen. For Direct3D games there's not a splash screen at all.

If you have GTA that should show the splash screen, it does for me in DOS at least.

Thanks for your input everybody. The above games I'm making sure they all run in Glide. Ahh right about the Unreal that makes sense. Heretic II runs in glide nicely. As long as there's nout wrong with the Voodoo. I have not got Turok unfortunately 🙁 it's pretty rare on ebay PC version.

Loaded up Turok and it works. 3dfx Splash Screen yay! Now see if I can enable it for unreal games.....

I just tried it with GLQuake on my Voodoo 3 and it does work, but you need to use MiniGL 1.48 or older.

It seems that newer versions of MiniGL remove the 3DFX splash screen in that game.

I see thanks! I'll try those older drivers. I'm using WickedGL at the mo.
