wow, those voodoo cards are really killing games. I've not heard of one person being able to run renegade using a voodoo.
Sorry guy.

The voodoo drivers do not support the new features of DirectX 8+, which are required by Renegade and most other current games. I have a Voodoo 5500 and threw it away to play Renegade.

I run Renegade on a VooDoo 3 2000 on another PC. Although it will only run in 16 bit mode i can normally get a good 40 fps on directx 8. I don't know how well it performs online but it is possible to run ren on a voodoo card.

I am currently running Renegade just fine using my Voodoo3 2000 and DX 8. I had to get a third party driver from http://www.voodooextreme.com, but it works just fine.
I usually get 20 to 40 fps during normal gameplay, but if there are a lot of explosions, then my fps drop to 2-4. I generally get lower fps (15-35) on glacier, especially in the tunnels. And yes, I know I am not lagging, I just have a video card that can't handle glacier very well.
I would check out the above website if you want to run the Voodoo5500. I am sure it can work, but it may just be easier to go and get a new card.
|
Curious, what O/S are you running and what version of the third party driver are you using? I have tried this as well and it did not work for us. There may be a newer 3rd party driver that now helps make this game compatible with Voodoo cards. I'd like to know so that I can play with my brother. He is running Windows ME.

I started playing Renegade with that card and had alot of problems (exmp.: being able to see through walls clear across the map!) but I was able to play once I set my color to 16 bit, like General Havoc said, and used 3rd party drivers. I'm pretty sure that 3dfx went under before DX8 came out and there's only so much tweaking people could do with the DX7 drivers, so I would say that if you're using XP with DX9 that there is little to no chance that you'll be able to run Renegade with that card (I was using Win 98se with DX8). If you're going to buy a new card, I would also recommend Nvidia. I bought a GeForce 4 4200 and it works great.

My OS is 98SE. I don't remember which third party driver I have, I will check when I get home (I am at work now).
|
Yeah, I had Win98 SE and my Voodoo 2000 worked fine for Renegade, but when I changed to Win2K it didn't matter what I did, the game would not run, or even install. I ended up getting a new ATI card and all was fine after that. If anyone is in the market for a new card, or any component for that matter, check this site out:

Thanks for the replys boys.
I still own a voodoo5 because it's still the best card for the flight sim falcon 4, which is the main game that I play.
I am using are 3rd party amigemerlin drivers and I am not prepared to change these just yet, I have a mate who has a voodoo3 he can run renegade ....well just about.
So it looks like I will have to wait untill the next generation on nvidia cards before I am prepared to part with my beloved voodoo5500 in order to play Reanagade.
Thanks again
Ray
