It seems that the problem is the opengl32.dll

I've tried running several versions of GLsetup that I could find, which tell me that they only work in Windows 98. GLsetup.com is apparently dead.

I downloaded some other opengl32.dll files that I found on the Internet, and tried these. One of them worked perfectly, although Windows quickly overwrote it with the "official" version thanks to the stupid windows file protection feature, and I can't find the .dll that worked properly.

I did try reinstalling the latest ATI Radeon Catalyst drivers with not success.

Any suggestions?

Well at least you've diagnosed the problem. The fact that one version of opengl32.dll worked perfectly shows that broken OpenGL support is your problem. I think there are tools for completely removing every trace of ATI's drivers. I'd suggest using such a tool, then remove any spurious copies of opengl32.dll that might still be hiding somewhere, and then reinstall the drivers.

Woohoo! It worked!

I followed the instructions at this link to remove the ATI drivers:

Then I re-installed the Catalyst 4.5 and now Carmageddon runs at full speed on the Radeon.

Thanks!

I think I am having a similar problem to crash: ie carmageddon running slowly (about 15fps I'm guessing). I'm not sure if my problem is related to faulty opengl drivers or not as this is a recently set up system, and the programs I have on it aren't known to mess with them.

I don't think its a problem with the way Glidos is set up (as tombraider works with it superbly).

Can anybody give me clues to what's causing the slowdowns (as i have tried setting carma to run with minimum detail/sound settings to no effect.

System:

AMD T-Bird 1.1Ghz
512Mb RAM
Abit KT7E Systemboard (VIA 4in1 4.35)
Ge-Force 3 Ti 200 (Nvdia dets 56.64 +DX9b)
SB PCI 128 drivers dated 30/3/2000 (latest!)

Windows 98 (original)
Glidos 1.28

Very strange! I gave up on Tomb Raider since it was running so slow on my Voodoo5, while Carmageddon runs fine. I doubt that it is your game configuration (such as in game detail settings).

So far, the only titles that I have gotten running properly are Carmageddon and Redguard. Others have a variety of problems: Tomb Raider (upper half of screen only, very slow), Blood (exits at first mouse click), Extreme Assault (upper half of screen only, very slow). I've also tried some other Glide titles, Resident Evil and Carmageddon Splat Pack with no success.

Perhaps each version of Opengl and each version of Glide2x may work with only certain titles? Alternatively, perhaps each video card may be suited to some games vs. others?

If anyone is running several of these titles without problems, I would be interested to hear what your system configuration is.

Thanks!

BTW, I did notice that Carmageddon is significantly slower on my 2100+ than it is on my 3200+ - assuming that there isn't any other problem, perhaps Carmageddon needs more processing power? This wouldn't explain your success (and my failure) with Tomb Raider though... Hmmm...

Hi all i have a little problem i have the old dos version the Hard Disk version not the CD !!!!!

I did all the stuff thats on the glidos site !!!
