I tried the 3dFX VooDoo patch just then, and it works, but theres issues, the sound repeats, and sometimes the characters dissapear, and it plays like a game with bad lag online.

Is there such thing as a Raedon Patch????

Damn. I'll just have to put up with low grfx....

Hey, do you mean there's a 3DFX patch for HyperBlade? Does it work with dgVoodoo?

Not very well.

Only low grx for me.

Then agian I have no idea about all 3D gfx cards. Try it..

I tried this game recently on Windows XP, it works fine with the Windows 2000 patch and with Direct 3D. A bit too fast in some sequences, I might try some kind of SlowMo program, but it can be played.

Hmm A slowmo program...
I'll try that.

Cheers.

There's no Voodoo patch (IIRC Hyperblade already supports the original Voodoo Graphic natively). However, there are two known patches: Voodoo2 patch and v1.0.0.1 patch (Windows 2000 patch). You can get them here).

What you need, actually, is the v1.0.0.1 patch instead of the Voodoo2 patch, since the latter is very Voodoo2-specific (turning off V2's triple buffering so the game can run).

The v.1.0.0.1 patch, on the other hand, is what you really need; it fixes a lot of problems (like non-appearing text and such). The patch will replace the old executable with a new Hyperx.exe. However, after applying the v1.0.0.1 patch, you should NOT run Hyperblade through the CD's Autorun, because it conflicts with the patch. Instead, you should run the game by executing the new executable (or making a shortcut of it).

Ok, after some searching, and collaborating... 'We' found an XP Patch for Hyperblade!!!!

And it's good... But with some issues... Basically, uninstall and reinstall the game, and just add the patch.

If you have a newer computer, you will have to create an app preference for your graphics card (I had to). I just turned everything off, and it still ran 3dFX. Otherwise your screen is just white flickering. I dunno about Vista.

Enemies don't shoot properly, and your team mates cannot pass, and you cannot see your own health. Other than that, its great!!!

And there's a bunch of errors trying to create a game over Hamachi and LAN.

Here's just two of them. (tried over Hamachi')

Fixed by sending missing/unmatching file to other player, but then...

So I tried it on my 2 comps here over LAN, same as above.

New patch needed 😠

How to fix:

Navigate to the folder where HyperBlade is installed,
and open the DATA folder. Using a text editor,
open the file BOOIE.INI. Under the [Options] heading,
add the following line:

NetNoVerify=1

Works on Hamachi now, but might still get video problems if you alt-tab. (Don't alt-tab)

Run under windows 2000 compatibility.

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I've searched all over and can't find this Voodoo2 patch anywhere. Anyone have a working link or site for the V2 patch mentioned in this thread?

Thanks, that direct link didn't work but I was able to navigate the site and dl it. The V2 patch runs the game but only in software mode. 😒 Does not pick up dgVoodoo or nGlide.

Just can't get this game to run in Glide mode; trying to get high res btw.

Crazy times. This is a very old thread, I know. I apologize.

But I've got Hyperblade to work on Windows7. Well, kinda.

2 main issues:

The enemy does not shoot or pass.
Glitches while in lobby / screen over laps.

However, if you want to get it it work just for fun (also enables full textures)

1. Get the original CD files, transfer them to say C:\Games\Hyperblade

2. Get the patch mentioned above, and replace HYPERX.exe.

(http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/patch/download-1737-452.php)

3. Get Windows Virtual PC - (x86 is for 32 bit systems & requires a reset)

4. Get WinlauncherXP (might be optional considering I'm using Win7, but it helps & has core controls.)
http://majorgeeks.com/WinLauncherXP_d870.html

5. You'll still need to use the CD, or image on virtual D:, however I don't think I've touched my uni-code / United Kingdom settings.

6. When you run the game, the lobby glitches out but you can still navigate and select team and play. When you do click on the final door, click 3 times (well, in gauntlet anyway, because that warning screen comes up black) and the game will start.

I've only played about a min of a match. I'm not sure if everything still works.

Instead of rezzing a dead topic, perhaps you could start your own thread? ty

Amazing game, totally under rated. I love it.

In my experience though, the game works best on a computer of it's time period and has trouble running on any PC which is quite faster than the games reccomended requirements.

I originally ran Hyperblade flawlessly on it's release with a P200 vanilla and a matrox mystique - the game has a direct 3D mode and it's quite unreliable. I never got it to work properly on my VooDoo 1.

To illustrate my earlier point, I tried running Hyperblade on a P2-450 and an AMD K6-3 450 recently and it was unplayable and unreliable. I've never tried the game in Dos BOX, but in all honestly D3D makes the game so much more enjoyable. You just need to stay in the range of a p-100 to p-200 speeds to get the best out of it.
