Matt, I downloaded the glide wrapper thingy you mentioned: Glidewrapper084c.exe and a couple of patches: The I-war3dfx.zip iwar1-24.zip For some reason it took me a while to actually get the system to take any notice of the changes when it started the game, it was as if I hadn't changed anything. I now have the 3dfx option requester coming up, but when I try to run the game from here (in whatver mode) I get an error message to do with the "BRender". Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
