Crap sorry my bad

Moved to Marvin.

It's possible the Gog versions think they're smart enough to slip in a Glide wrapper, so find a glide2x/3x.dll in Deus Ex/System and eliminate them. it then should use your real voodoo card

That is a really good point, yea ill try that.

Yup, that's often the case. I'm pretty sure all three games come with nGlide. You will also find the nGlide config executable in the game folder, that gives it away as well.

@ Oldskoolmaniac

nGlide does run under Windows 98. If you have a high powered Windows 98 machine with a DX9 graphics card, it runs games very well, even past the performance of a V5.

I looked in the folder and there was an nglide.exe and that was it i deleted it and still same problems, would i have to replace glidedrv.int

You need to delete the .dll files like leileilol mentioned 😀

there isnt a single dll file in any game

Because Windows is hiding them. You must unhide them in your folder options settings or something

Ok i feel like dummy 🤣 i found them, removed them and all is good thanks

Good job to those who helped. Retro gaming win!

Ok so i have something i just notice for this same card direct3d is disabled in dx6.1a, is it cuz i have a pci version?

Also i can run any version of 3dmark cuz of this.

You should be able to use Direct3D on any 3dfx card.

3dm2001 will be fussy on <V2 however (no DX7 driver support for Voodoo Graphics), 2003+ will not run at all on any Voodoo.

I have directx 6.1a it came with windows98, im thinking i might have to redownload the drivers

It was cuz i was using these drivers: 3dHQ V1.09.00 Beta10 for some reason it only half installed on my gateway, but on my p3 rig its fine so I just installed the latest official and all is well.
