Go to Voodoofiles.com and search for a registered version of wicked GL.
You may find your answer there.

hello, just found your topic... same problem for me, as i said on the question i asked here, but no responses....
i use a v5500, and tried the wicked drivers to fix the menu problem an improve some graphics... all i got was these strange effects with smoke (squares instead of smoke)... it solved the "flickering" textures problems also... but i can't play with theses crappy effects....

[Roach][Knuts] · 02-12-2002, 03:32 AM

yes! same exact thing i have.. it inmproved my fps somewhat and it's the best i can get really (i've looked everywhere), but that horrible square/sometimes hexagon smoke is just unbearable

already did that... it's exactly the same as the demo, except you don't get the "demo" screen

Whoops that reminds me, I got an e-mail from a V5 users saying that the square smoke can be fixed by, get this, choosing Surround Sound instead of Stereo in the "Sound" option.

He swears that it works. I dunno, give it a try?

Btw if it does work, please post a response. If I gather enough positive experiences I may post this as a small news item. Thanks.

i'm afraid there's no very effective solution to solve the smoke effect with the wicked gl .... i looked from forums to forums about 3dfx or voodoo , all i found is this thread : http://pub43.ezboard.com/fx3dfxfrm1....cID=7703.topic
but it doesn't work for me : i still have these blooody squares.... arg ! i don't care for the intro movie or screens, the stupid thing is that the wicked dll seem to really improve the game... sob..

hehe that sounds quite odd i must say... is it supposed to work for Voodoo 3's as well?

i'll try it for my voodoo 3 when i get home and post here if it does/doesn't...

hey hofner... how much do the wickedgl drivers improve your frame rate? also do u get really blurry writing that is unreadable (briefings etc.)?

I have a VooDoo 5 and I can't even get MoH:AA to start. It just goes black. I download some 3rd party drivers from voodoofiles.com but it didn't fix the problem. I am going to try the WickedGL but I doubt that will fix it. I wonder if they are planning on releasing a patch with 3dfx compatability anytime soon.

hofner · 02-14-2002, 10:59 AM

first, the wicked dll, as i saw, make the game smoother and graphics more deeper.... i don't know how fps it improve... it may be "subjective", smoother is the best word i find ! (arg, my english !) the briefing screens are readable in both versions... its sharper with the wicked dll (was it the question ????)
second : i have already the game configured in "surround" and the squares are still there.
It remind me that i met these squares in another game 4 years ago with "rogue squadron" with my voodoo 2. i think they disappeared with new drivers...
i'd like to know if there is someone who use these dammed wicked dll and voodoo card with no problem....... !

[Roach][Knuts] · 02-15-2002, 01:55 AM

i just got some new drivers... cuneyt max special drivers for windows xp... but now none of my games work and for some reason windows xp is trying to install an Ultra DMA device, which i haven't been using cause it makes windoes xp lock up... argh
