OK heres the deal 3dfx went under and we voodoo users got left holding some pretty poor official drivers. Have no fear there is a solution for all open gl games and 3dfx cards! It's called wicked gl and it will improve your gl games frame rates and graphic quality by 200%. Ok 1st off go download the driver from
http://www.wicked3d.com/products/wickedgl/default.htm)
OK now install the wickedgl switching utility. what this does is lets you pick the games you have installed that wickedgl can scab it's driver onto the same folder as the games exe file.
Problem 1: Woah wicked gl's switching utility doesn't have jedi knight 2 as a supported game so you can't install the new drivers into the game folder!
Problem 2: Most games have the video drivers in the same folder as the games EXE file and wicked gl only installs it's driver into the same folder as the EXE and the video drivers for Jedi 2 are not there.
OK heres what I did. Go to the installed folder where wickedgl is installed. default is.. Program_files/Metabyte/WickedGL/
now copy the opengl32.dll or the ogl_hres.dll into this directory.
Program_files/LucasArts/Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast/GameData
voila! all done now your voodoo screams with power yeehaw!
Just a note for people who like to run thier games in resolutions higher than 600x800 you should use the ogl_hres.dll instead of the normal wickedgl's opengl32.dll. And don't forget to turn your glide on within the game and not d3d.
I see so many people with much greater systems than mine complaining about the game but as for me using these wickedgl drivers the game loads and runs so smooth it will amase you for sure. I am running this on a Pentium 2 350mhz with 256megs pc100 sdram and a voodoo 3 3000 AGP in 600x800res with ingame video option all at medium. I get slowdowns when theres more than 5-6 bad guys fighting me or I am in a huge outdoor environment so I just lower my resolution to 480x640 and everythings smooth as glass!
Hope this will help many of my fellow voodoo users and I hope to write more again soon if people want more info on how to tweak your Bios and voodoo video card to squeeze the last drop of fps outta it :)
