I've noticed a quite a few problems with Grim Fandango in 3D hardware
mode

First, the game has wacky colors when I select my Voodoo2 card to do
the 3D. Neon white and green are dominate. I have an 8 meg creative
labs voodoo2 using 3DFX DirextX 6 drivers.

Second, when using 3D mode of my Primary card (a 4 meg ATI Rage II C
AGP) Grim is very crash prone and the crashes are hard lockups that
require a hit to yee old reset button. Also the 3D ordering gets mixed
up. Manny would pop infront of and behind an active object like crazy.
Using news dfrivers from ATI

It software mode, the game runs great and looks pretty good too but I
real like to use my 3D cards since I got them. :) Any suggestion?
