My Moto Racer 1 (EU edition) has a problem running with D3d on. When the race starts the game runs, but the graphics is broken (only sky and horizon perhaps are visible nothing else). Once I disable d3d it runs fine.
It is Windows 98 Se plus all the ms fixes from unofficial sp3, with DirectX 4. Hardware wise it is a slot1 P3 system with a geforce mx440 agp gpu. 3dmark99 happily runs overnight so I doubt it is any hardware issue.
I'm aware of many fixes to get this game to work on later versions of windows, but it should work on win98 out of the box. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
Also, what is the difference between d3d and no d3d? Does it look better? Does it draw objects further away? Or is it just a matter of performance? Fps wise it is more than fast enough so perhaps it doesn't matter?
