I thought Messiah also supported Direct3D? You may want to try that first.

I have had issues with Messiah before where the solution was to use Zeckensack or DgVoodoo since D3D wouldn't work but I believe that was only for the demo.

Thankes for answering. 😀
on the D3D it just tells me i need a 3D card to run it...
i tryed to have dgVoodo but i didn't know how to dial this thing. it told something VDD. i just need a guide...

i have another AMD with Radeon Sapphire which tells me the same thing on both optinons. (i tryed to switch in the card properties the option direct3D to OpenGL and then tryed them both, but it didnt help).

Seggustions? 😖

When you install Zeckensack it puts the glide wrapper in your C:\Windows directory which means any glide game will be able to find it because it's in your path.

With DGVoodoo I think you have to copy it's files into the game directory.

IIRC, DGVoodoo doesn't support Glide3X so you may have to use Zeckensack.

so i will only have to install the Zeckensack ans it will work fine?

try it ?

I did. i installed it, tried all the options, switching it to OpenGL, and still same thing. 😖

It is Radeon SAPPHIRE XPRESS 200 Series... does it matters?

Well I highly doubt that Zeckensack would work with the POS VIA/S3G UniChorme IGP (I think this is it)

As for the Radeon it should work fine. Try copying the glide2x and glide3x.dll files from C:\Windows to the same directory as messiahglide3x.dll

messiah works ok
the 3dfx version is far less buggy it works fine with zackensacks wrapper
have you got the latest messiah patch

[edit] found a working 1.2 patch link.

Removed the 'x6' from the end of the URL. My download catcher gave this URL:

[edit 2]
Damn this games weird. I set it up in 1.0 again, set "Install Path"=".\\1" in reg which installed the 1.2 patch to messiah\1. copied only the essential files to the game dir. Ran the game with "d3d.exe ! -i" and it asked for the cd 3 times then loaded the menu and it runs in widescreen. no cracks required. After plenty of testing, it seems that the crashes are random & not from turning options on/off. restarting the game and setting same options usually works. I didn't notice any difference between 8x & 16x AA/AF.
