Here is a copy of the report I made to IDSOFTWARE Q3 feedback. Don't
hesitate to give your opinion or any precisions. Thanks.

First my system configuration : K6-233, Abit PX5 motherboard, 64 Mo
SDRam, 3.2Go HD, AWE 64, Matrox Millenium 2Mo, 56K USR Modem and a
Guillemot 3dfxVoodoo2 12 Mo. A system running perfectly with Win95B
(french version) and DirectX 6.1 .
    All drivers are updated  (3dfx2 too) and i checked that no
duplicated opengl32.dll or3dfxvgl.dll were at wrong places on my system.
I checked too that The HIV Q3test (that runs perfectly with the
opengl32.dll Beta2.1 ICD from 3dfx) didn't leave some Reg entries.

    Now my different problems trying to run Q3test. Here is a detailled
description of my -still unsuccesfull- attempts trying every solutions
currently proposed on Q3 and 3dfx Newsgroups:

    1. Clean install of Q3test and new 3dfx2 driver : I launch Q3test
and a blue screen appears : FATAL ERROR At 0028:C66D099A In FXMEMMAP(01)
+ 000003BE.

    2. I replace my FXMEMEMAP.VXD by the old one included in Voodoo2
DirectX6 Release Candidate Driver Kit. Q3test does not want to load.

    3. I reinstall this old DirectX6 Voodoo2 driver then i copy
3dfxOGL.dll to the Q3test dir and rename it to opengl32.Dll. No effects.


    4. Clean install of Q3compatibleVoodoo2 driver kit. I copy
3dfxVGL.dll to the Q3 test dir. No effects. Try to rename it to
opengl32.dll. No effects.
Try to copy the almost entire driver kit files to Q3test dir then try to
load Q3 again. No effects.

    5. The weirdest thing : I copy to the Q3test directory my old
opengl32.dll Beta2.1 ICD (that i use with HIV Q3) , I rename it
3dfxGL.dll and....black screen system crashed and Reset Button that
laughs at me.
    BUT if i am connected to my ISP then Q3 load is succesfull !!! I can
change resolution, details, keyboard config....I can even start a server
with Q1 or Q2 test maps (which are graphically splendid)....But when I
try to connect to a server (using Gamespy2.1 or in-game server adress
typing) Q3 test freezes while the game screen show the message "Awaiting
Gamestate". The server keeps sending me data (i see it by the nevrotic
behavior of my modem lights) but the game do not want to go any further.
No ALT-TAB, ALT-F4, CRTL-ALT-SUPPR possibilty, my Reset button and
Scandisk keep on laughing...

    Well...These two days will certainly stay a long time in my memory
if my brain is not too damaged (I play Q2 and Q1 :o) ). So please HELP
me to get out of this trap 3dfx created. I tryed these procedures many
times and the results are always the same so it's not a hazardous
behavior of my computer that causes the blue screen or crashes.

    Thanks. I will wait your answer trying to lower my stress level by
playing this "old" Quake2 W.Factory on Barrysworld's server.

PS: Sorry if my English hurted your ears ....but I'm french so....
