Games like Dethkarz, Carmageddon 2, Starcraft; they cause the system to either freeze or instantly reboot.
This is a system with a Voodoo 2 card, I'm using the Fast 4.6 driver (fastv2-win9x-v46.zip). I've tried with both software and hardware acceleration for games that support this (Starcraft is software only).
Note: Some games work, e.g. Unreal and Need for Speed 2 SE using Glide (3dfx) acceleration both work. I can see the 3dfx logo in e.g. Carmageddon 2 and Dethkarz, the game starts up, gets to the menu screen, and then, it freezes instantly, or the system reboots. As this happens with both software and hardware rendering, it doesn't seem likely to be related to the Voodoo 2 card. Especially not considering the Voodoo 2 card performs well in the two aforementioned games.
The reason I'm using the FastVoodoo 2 4.6 driver is as follows:
I tried at first the latest official driver for the Voodoo 2 (30202). This works, I could run e.g. Unreal and Need for Speed 2 SE using hardware (Glide) acceleration, with DirectX 5. However, installing a later version of DirectX, caused the system to instantly reboot after logging in. I tried DX 9, 8, and 7a, they all have the same issue. Eventually I tried (I did this by installing in Safe Mode, which still boots) the FastVoodoo2 driver, which immediately solved the problem.
