Crashed in Voodoo 3 3000

hi,
I have dual-boot system with WIn98SE and Win2000, both experienced crashes while starting the app V12Test.exe.

after i done a rebuild of the engine in debug mode, i got this error in win2k:

Fatal (...\v12\engine\platformwin32\winwindow.cc @1028
Could not find a compatible display device!

and still crashed in win98SE

my 3D card is 3dfx voodoo3 3000. i'm wondering whether V12 supports my card or there's something wrong with my configuration.

thx.

It should work on your voodoo3. But I believe drivers are a little finicky. The "cannot find compatible" device is normally a driver issue. Do you have drivers for you card? You may also want to check the card compatability chart in the install docs, it has some info on the Voodoo3.

Hi,

If V12 follows T2, use the latest Voodoo3 drivers 1.07.00, select DirectX (not OpenGL), and be sure that your desktop color depth is the same as the game (ie: 16-bit).
If your desktop is running 32-bit, you can only get the engine up in a window.

I had a problem similar to this related to the DirectX SDK Direct3D examples and my Voodoo3 3500. I detailed it in this thread. While I was never able to figure out why the people in the thread who were running roughly identical systems didn't have the problem, I did find that replacing the drivers with these worked. Note, however, that I could still run V12 before these drivers. Maybe this will help.
