Ha, this brings back memories. I have a soft spot for this game and it's one of those titles that was very picky and produced weird bugs like the one you're encountering. On faster CPUs such as 2GHz+ Pentium 4s it had a really odd timing bug with some sort of bell, it drove a lot of people insane I can tell you that much.

In any case, you're probably experiencing the GeForce bug, there was a fan-made patch for it from way back then. You can find it here:

Silver is a pig of a game to get working on anything other than period hardware. The good news is that GOG have it in some modern patched form https://www.gog.com/game/silver and it works quite nicely on my modern desktop.

Re. yours, try a different graphics driver version. I also played on a Geforce2 MX 400 but it's not currently installed in my PII in favour of a s3 Virge and a Voodoo 1.

Unfortunately, the link is dead. 🙁

The gog.com link in your reply to mikeyp, or the sylph.me.uk link provided by Garrett W? The former link works just fine; the latter returns that the site is suspended.

Do you know any good working links? Is there a better graphic card for my use?

For drivers? You might find something useful at vogonsdrivers.com; I'd recently gotten the MX 400 (128MB) drivers from there for Win98.

Thank you sir for your suggestion! I tried out the 28.31 version and the Silver worked without any graphical glitches! 😀 Thank you!!
