Well I hadn't run Blood with GliDOS in a sometime ( I was stuck on Carmageddon) but I swear it used to work.

Now, When I run Blood , It plays for a short period of time, 5 maybe 10 minutes, and then crashes to desktop. Very quickly and smoothly I might add. No errors, nothing on the Glidos GUI besides WinClose GlidosShutDown.

I have a GeForce 5700le, Latest Nvidia drivers.
Glidos V. 1.33rc2

I've messed around with some of the options but nothing has helped so far.

Any help would be great, the time it does run is amazing, no hiccups, no stuttering, or visual gltches. Just perfect.

That's a worrying one. The WinClose message shows that Blood decided to shut down for some reason. Couldn't even has been a crash really otherwise it wouldn't have closed down cleanly like that. The most likely cause is it running out of memory. You could look at config.nt and autoexec.nt to see if anything unusual is being loaded.

Appreciate the quick response.
Don't know if this helps but , I've tried running it just using VDMS and it doesn't do it.

I have 1Gig of RAM, so I hope that's not it.

When you say check the config and autoexec, any specifics for what i'm lookin for?

Glidos just runs it under VDMS. If you mean "without Glidos", then that's adifferent version of the build engine (the original software version). Its quite possible that the 3dfx version (which is in any case a beta) leaks memory (DOS memory, so having a Gig doesn't help).

On the other hand it works fine on many systems, so there should be some sort of difference we can find. What we should look for, I have no idea, but I've attached copies of mine.

Both files you attached are literally identical to the ones on my computer.

I've been meaning to reformat my HDD, because it's gathered a lot of crap lately.

What steps do I need to take so I don't have to re-buy GliDOS?

No steps preparitory steps necessary. You just use your unlock account to get a new key after the reinstall.

I hope it works for you and this fixes Blood.

Thankfully I found my unlock account in my G-mail.

I also hope this works, because that would be great.

if not,

well then back to the drawing board..

Thank you very much for your help thus far though.

Hi.
I have the same probleme 😢
No solution found, if you have one...

And, the downloadable verssion on the site is without Plasma Pak (Blood add-On), do you know an issue to play Blood: Plasma Pak, with Glidos ?
