There's something wrong with Sin: Wages of Sin's 3Dnow support when run on Athlon and it breaks the flashlight projection. Disabling 3Dnow is supposed to fix it but I haven't tested it.

Or just use an Intel CPU.

The add-on pack has a lot of darkness so a broken flashlight is a big problem.

I disassembled the Athlon setup once I figured out the CPU was the issue and I didn't find the possible 3dnow solution until this afternoon so I'm probably not going to test it. I just posted for posterity. Future web searches et al. 😀

Good game, I should play the expansion someday!

Anyone play the ill-fated Sin Episodes? It could have been pretty good.

Yup I have beaten Sin Episodes a few times. I liked it. Ritual made decent games with spirit. Elite Force 2 and FAKK are fun too.

Sin always makes me think Half Life combined with Duke...

Oh, I wanted to mention that and Sin and its expansion use A3D well. It doesn't work quite right with Creative 's crappy A3D emulation though. Sounds much better on a real Aureal card.

I'm using GeForce cards with it right now. I did run it on a Riva 128 ZX for a bit too....wow look at those bright white polygon seams! 😁

Orly! I haven't played the original game in awhile. Did beat it a year ago or so.

I did get around to testing the Athlon flashlight (AKA TORCH) fix with disabling 3dnow. Works.
