If the 3dfx MiniGL's gamma of 1.7 bothers you, you can still use the full ICD the later 1999+ 3dfx drivers provide (Windows\System\3dfxvgl.dll) by setting gl_driver 3dfxvgl. This does not force a high gamma.

I'm a bit embarassed to ask this but, could you please help me doing that? Do I need to download something specific?

Thank you 😄''

Copy 3dfxvgl.dll to the Quake2 directory then rename 3dfxvgl.dll to opengl32.dll.
Select "default opengl" in the Quake 2 settings.
IIRC Quake2 minigl gamma controls work ok with Voodoo2 but you must restart the game. When you press apply - there are no changes.

Thank you very much!

I did what you said and works, but it does look exaclty as just setting opengl before from the menu. Is that okay?

Also I have another problem, every time i exit the game the pc goes back to desktop with artifacts, windows is still working and i can navigate the menus but the screen is messed up. Also, if I get back to windows while the game is still on the pc freezes. Maybe there is something I installed not properly?

Does plugging the card directly into the 2D card produce artifacts?

Do you mean plugging the monitor directly to the 2D card?

Trying your solution, I downloaded this file: http://www.falconfly.de/opengl.htm
renamed 3dfxogl.dll and put that into C:\windows\system folder
run the game
and wrote gl_drivers 3dfxogl inside the game console

but nothing has happened.

btw, reinstalling my S3 drivers, I don't have any artifacts issues anymore.

It was, yes! So I reinstalled the S3 Savage4 drivers another time and that problem is gone now. =)

Ah, nice.
