I tried searching for a while for these but they seem to have vanished from the internet. I'm referring to patches that were made for the likes of Quake 1 and Quake 2, to enable Truform support. The patches are called Truquake and Truquake2. There's also TruUt for Unreal Tournament, which I wouldn't mind having but I'm mostly after the quake patches. Anybody know where to download these? Thanks.

There are always different ways to sort things. TruForm was introduced with the Radeon 8500, so for me it suggests itself to be added there.

After trying everything (and after also finding the Deus Ex version on my own), I can really only get the UT version to work. Even then there's graphical corruption where this big stretch polygon appears in front of your gun randomly.

Most of the problem with the other games is either related to enabling Truform somehow or getting the correct driver to be used. In my case, I've got my 8500 as a primary card but 2 V2s as secondaries so my games always pick those up and try to run glide or directx from those 2 cards. I haven't quite figured out how to tell each game which card to use when so that's a bit of a setback. But UT99 looks really good when it's not glitching. I think Deus Ex would be even better if I could get that one to work but unlike UT99, you have to change the INI to make it work and I can't figure out how.
