you can try to downgrade hardware video acceleration, but I don't think this will help.
how did you manage to run it modern windows? all I got is a "not enough video RAM", despite 128 MBs on my Ti4200

I have the same problem with this game. I've tried to downgrade video acceleration but no success. I also tried to downgrade the sound acceleration (run - dxdiag - sound) but that was no solution.
I don't know what to do - i have tried some new patches and some old ones. I have played this game before on the same computer with the same configurations, but this time it won't work. I don't remember how i solved it before 🙁

It is when i activate the direct 3d i get this problem, otherwise i can watch the cutscenes.

Anyone knows what may be the problem?

The onyl solution i have foud is to deactivate the direct 3d, but that way i cant play the game with hardware acceleration, there must be a better solution.

Edit: this has nothing to do with a widescreen monitor.

.. and there is. Install glide wrapper and change parameters in options.ini to:

[Video]
Acceleration_Filtering=On
Video_Resolution=640x480x16
Video_3D_Driver=Glide/3Dfx: Voodoo Graphics
Video_Variable_Frame_Rate=Yes
Video_Gamma_Correction=2
Video_Texture_Cache=Large
Video_Texture_Resolution=High

Target resolution and aspect ratio can be set in nglide configurator in start menu.

Many thanks man, that worked, i've set 800x600 btw.

Edit: now the problem is that going in windows while the game is running to change cd cause a crash, i guess i have to create other 3 virtual drive for the isos.

Edit2: Aaaarrgg doesnt work, what to do now ? 🙁

why do you need to go into windows to swap the cd ?
just press the eject button on your cd drive

Because this game is almost unavailable in europe, i guess i can try to burn the cd images.

Burn the cds or switch back to direct3d, change the iso, make new savegame and return to 3dfx renderer.
I sent an email to nglide devs. They will take a look on this.

You´re very usefull btw3d! Disabling the 3dfx renderer BEFORE changing disk resloves also this problem, i hope this is the last one 😏
