voodoo2 problems, and such

[Guest creamis]

Hello,

I have some big problems running bc3000ad

My system specs are:

Pentium II 266

64 mb ram

Ati 3d rage pro / voodoo2

Aztech 2320 Comptaible PnP audio (soundcard)

Running win98se

And version 2.00 of bc3000ad

Problem #1:

Can't update the game... naturally I would need to use the

"bc3k200-208" patch and so on to patch up.

When i attempt to run the patch I get the Old file not found, however blah blah blah yeah u know the rest!

So I uninstalled/reinstalled the game and tryed the "bc3k207-208" patch.

I got exactly same response there,

Anyone know whats up?

Problem #2:

When i run the game with 3dfx support It is highly unstable, Its kicking me out on the desktop or sometimes even reboots my computer when running, I have the latest drivers for voodoo2 And all that but it still wont work fine.And i also tryed the things mentioned in the troubleshooting document

Problem #3

Cant get the sound to work.. In the troubleshooting I sawed that I configure the sound card by first running the setup utility without doing a digital sound test. and then configure the Hmiset.cfg file by hand, So anyway i did that and entered all the rightfully IRQ and DMA ports, And when i started the game, i could here some sort of sound but It was more similiar to a Cat with a rocket up its ass or something...

:yah i know thats a shitload of problems, But if I could just get the 3dfx thingie to work with no problems I would be more than happy

Hey, I'm kind of new too, but I'll try to help...

Just some ideas:

First, did you put the patches in the BC3000AD directory before running them?

Is it possible you have 2.08 already?

I believe 2.08 still says 2.0 on the box (not sure).

What is the date on your executable?

As for sound what values are you using?

Are you making sure to use SB-emulation values if your card has them and not the PCI settings?

Hope some of this helps.

Yeah i had put the patches in the same directory and I do believe that the version is 2.00 cuz once inside the game I could see the version number by pressing Ctrl+v
