Does anyone know how to make the game Redguard from Bethesda Software work with the Voodoo5? The textures and the subtitle text are garbled when played in 3dfx mode and in it looks really awful in software mode. Thanks, Markus

I could never get it to work correctly with my V3 (although I haven't tried it on my V5, but I imagine it's the same). The weird part was that SOMETIMES it would just work and then stop working during dialogue or after a screen change. Very frustrating and the main reason I never really could play the game. It's a real shame, because what I did play was very good... Maybe someday I'll load it on my old machine with the Voodoo1 in it. The game was really designed for the early Voodoos anyway... BTM

You have to copy the GLIDE2X.* files from an old Voodoo Banshee driver into the main Redguard directory. That should fix the texture and font problems. But I never tried that (don't have a V3) and it doesn't work with the Voodoo5. Markus
