Omega Drivers: Fixed x3dfx drivers

[vailr]

The Win2000 drivers fixed the distortions using the x3dfx beta drivers.

What distortions were you having?

 

[vailr]

Win2000 & Virtual Pool 3: poolballs had become weird pixelated squares.

 

[Nesta]

Do you use HSR?

I also get a completely distorted image with Giants and Colin McRae Rally 2.

Which drivers to get?

For V3/4/5 WIN9X & ME, they list:
OMEGA DRIVERS 1.02 STAND ALONE DRIVER [1.83MB]
OMEGA DRIVERS 1.01a FULL KIT [7.84MB]
OMEGA DRIVERS OPENGL FIX (NOT FOR 1.02) [458KB]
HSR AND VIA CHIPSET SETTINGS ENABLER (NOT FOR 1.02)

Does this mean get the full kit (v1.01), then get and install the v1.02 (update),
which means you won't need the OpenGl or HSR fix, as it's included in the v1.02??

A little driver info on that page would be nice.

I'm assunimg that 'FULL KIT' includes the 3dfx tools. If you have v1.04 installed you only need the stand alone driver.

Not sure about the OpenGL fix.

There's no point using "fixed" drivers. They are all just the new beta x3dfx drivers with the main files replaced with 1.04.01 versions. So, in essence, they are just 1.04.01 with someone else taking credit for their creation, with maybe unknown improvements and much higher chances for problems because of mixed dll versions. Whoop de doo.
