Earth 2140 graphics issues

[Angus]

Hi all,
I recently bought the Earth 2140 CD on Ebay. Unfortunately after installing it, the graphics appear horrible and corrupt. As if the system thought I was using a different graphics standard. I couldn't find any tooltypes for P96 or anything else obvious (to me at least).

I'm using a 1200 with 060, Mediator Voodoo3 3000 (P96).

Any known issues I should be aware of?

Thanks.

Don't use the latest voodoo.card driver, use the version prior to the latest one

The latest driver has issues on some systems

I don't think that's it.

In Libs/Picasso96/ I've got a file called Voodoo.card that is 14692 bytes, dated 20th July 05 and has a version of 4.26.

Do you mean an earlier version of this file?

Any other thoughts?

There's also a patch for the game on Epic's (now Runesoft's) homepage that might help.

You wouldn't have a specific link Matt? I've been on the Runesoft site with IBrowse 2.4 with java on and off and its all messed up. I found mention of a likely patch on the Pagan site, the Eager site and elsewhere, but not the pesky patch itself. :-(

As Quenthal describes the problem so well, its like a negative image with all the colours of the rainbow.

Ah - I have sent you a pm but I think I misunderstood your humour.

Thanks. Installed, but it did not change the LSD effect.

I have version 4.26 of the voodoo.card file on my Multimedia CD from Elbox and my hard drive - don't suppose you'd have the earlier version?
