Okay, here is something for the voodoo doctors:
I try to play Archimedean Dynasty (aka "Schleichfahrt") with a voodoo2 - but no matter what I do, it doesn't work, nor under plain DOS 6.2, neither within the dos mode of WIN98SE. The farest I could go was to replace the original glide2x.ovl of the game with the glide2x.ovl that came with the 3dfx reference drivers (ovl date: 12-16-1999, glide2x.dll version: 2.56). The game starts normally without 3dfx splash screen but also without the well known "no voodoo card" detected message into its main svga menu. Then I choose a training mission, but as soon as the game shifts from the briefing into the "3d-action-screen" it freezes.
Here are my current system specs: ECS P6BAT-A+ with Via C3 700 CPU 128MB , Diamond Viper 770 Ultra, Diamond Voodoo2 8mb; soundcards: EWS64XL (Win98 & Dos); Diamond Monstersound MX300 (WIN98 only); Ensoniq Soundscape Elite (DOS only), Saitek Cyborg 2000 Joystick
A hardware conflict seems unlikely, the game worked fine with a voodoo 1 installed.
I searched the internet and various forums and there were people saying, that it doesn't work, while others said it works without problems. Unfortunately the last group doesn't say HOW.
So I would appreciate every detailed answer, especially which (glide-) files to use, and where to put them. Thanks!
