Graphical problems with Voodoo5 5500

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Graphical problems with Voodoo5 5500

Hi

There are two problems with the game on voodoo5 5500:
1. During the demos there is flickering white box spannin about 70% of the screen. After alt+tab and returning the white box disappears, but there is still some picture flickering.
2. The menu buttons are invisible, and randomly some of the button text appear for about one second when moving the mouse over the screen. The background flickers then.

Voodoo 5 is not on a list of unsupported cards. I'm playing under win 2k, with sp2, directx 9. Athlon 2k xp, 256 mb ram, voodoo5.

I tried to change some options in voodoo driver setting, but it didn't help.
Other games run just fine.

3dFx stopped existing 3 years ago, and 3rd party drivers often aren't very good.

Is your card directx 9 compatible? Not neccessarily all the features, but fully compatible (like drivers that are dx9 level?) if not you'll probably have problems if freelancer uses and directx9 calls.
