I've done everything it said to do in the setup and things still aren't working right. I've got a Voodoo 2 on my Dell 450, and for some reason the graphics and framerate of Inf 2.8 are pretty crappy. UT runs just fine with nice effects, and etc, while INF has grainy effects, non-fluid animation etc. I read that since I have a Voodoo I should use glide (like I do with regular UT) so I've edited my INI file so that it reads...

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=INF_Console.INFc_Console
Language=int

However in the "Video Card" box in the INF 2.8 options menu it reads "VideoDriverClassName" instead of Glide. Is this normal? In any case the problem is still plaguing me even with all details turned down to medium and color switched from 32 to 16. Hopefully someone has had a problem like this before... Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I don't know pc very well but on Mac for glide it reads

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=INF_Console.INFc_Console


Try that it should work /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

My PC is a Dan 450 with a Voodoo 2. I have no problems with graphics or framerate under Glide, which I selected via the Options/General Settings/Video menu.

This is the relevant bit from my Infiltration280.ini:

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=INF_Console.INFc_Console
Language=int

As you can see, mine IS Glide but you have OpenGL listed under GameRenderDevice.

Try changing it by going to Options/General Settings/Video in Infiltration and click on "change" and select 3dfx Glide for Windows. and if that doesn't work edit your .ini file to read the same as mine.
