Could someone please help with this problem I have playing Duke3d with the
Mystique graphics card!!!!!!!

Every time I move through a teleporter in a modem game the computer locks
up.I thought it may be a resolution
problem so I played in 640x480 mode on the set up program, this did not
help! 
I turned off hardware accelerationon Win 95 and tried turning off options
on the Mystique Power desk options!
I thought it may be a memory problem so I turned off, uninstalled other
programs which may be influencing it.
I turned off power management functions and screensavers all to no avail.
I have even updated to the latest BIOS and Mystique drivers.
I am running out of options, maybe I haven't set up something properly, any
suggestions will do.

Please help!!! I cannot bear to think that I won't be able to play Duke3d
over the modem anymore
All suggestions will be truly appreciated!

I am running a Pentium 100, 16Mb ram, Win95, 2Meg Mystique card
etc,etc,etc.

Are you sure its your MYSTIQUE card?  I run a P200 with a Matrox
Mystique and have no problems in modem play at any resolution.  My
Mystique has 4 mb ram.

I have a Mystique and it works great with duke3d...under DOS. It crashes
at various points under Win95, but I suspect it's the OS, not the card.
Try going out to DOS (even 7.0 should be better).

Actually, I found the Mystique to be a great card...frame rates up to 100
on a P133...if you stand and face a wall (and at least 30 in the worst
areas at 640x480). Hope you don't give up on it.

I have a Matrox Mystique card, but now problems with Plutonium Pak. I play
duke always under DOS 6.22. I've tryed it under DOS 7.0, but sometimes I
become problems with graphics. MS DOS 7.0 that comes with Win95 sucks !! 

Duke is best under DOS 6.0 - 6.22
