I have the Canopus Pure 3D (supposedly the 'greatest voodoo card' with a
whole 6 MB of memory). At this point, it does me more BAD than good since
I am indeed getting the dreaded 'mip map' error when playing this game
with the 3DFX patch. I even went so far as to start a batch file that
contains the line 'set sst_tmumem_size=2' to try and get this to work. I
have moved glide files to the Windows\system directory, all to no avail.

Is there anything I can do to get this to work or am I just SOL? I am so
frustrated since the first 10 seconds of this beauty is an absolute blast!

If anyone can help I will cherish the ground you walk on for life =).

Thanks!

After doing a full install and applying the latest 3dfx patch that I
got from from Carmageddon.com and reboot to DOS (not a DOS window)
then type the command    set sst_tmumem_size=2    (not in a batch
file) all runs slick as glass...no locks ups or being kicked out... I
don't know what the difference is between typing it out vs. loading it
in a batch file but this was posted somewhere by a guy that had the
same problem and stated very heavily that it had to be typed in rather
than batch loaded and also the DOS boot mode.. worked for me.

Good Luck!

You are right after seeing Carmageddon in 3dfx...any other modes bites
the big one!
