Landscape=fine, MISSING HEALTH BARS!

Ok I got the landscape to stop getting holes in it. BUT! ow I ahve a problem with missing health and mana bars...they get hidden behind the scenes and only appear at certain angles. The place where my wizard's mana and health should appear is empty...no red or blue indicators. AND in the selection menus and things, the options (like choosing a game to load) are supposed to highlight. Well, they don't. I have a Monster Fusion card WITH the latest drivers and this has not yet been addressed on the guide. What can I do?

I have the same problem with a 16 mb Voodoo banshee and K6-2 400 mhz.

yeah I have that problem too.

Sophistry (sp), the lead programmer said it was a known issue and it's a 3dfx driver problem.

Im kinda ticked off about it too, as you honestly can't play the game without knowing what your health and mana is at.

Assuming you're playing with a voodoo3, go to www.3dfx.com and get the drivers dated July 2000 for your card. That fixes the health bar problem perfectly.

Yeah I got the drivers and they match the version that Shiny recommends, though I am still having the problem with the missing bars. It sucks to not know when your wizard is going to die, unless you put the pointer over him.

I'm getting the same problem! No life bars over heads, nor in the top right corner for my wizard! *sighs*

i have a voodoo 3500 w/ the latest non-beta drivers.

[Spriseris]

So, i go on 3dfx and get the latest beta drivers. Beta 4. Released 2 days ago. Not only does it not help the invisible lifebars, but it also makes my Ultima Online green-tinted when i play in a window!

[Vig]

NOT the latest drivers. The drivers from *** JULY OF 2000 ***. OLD drivers. NOT the beta drivers. The drivers from JULY OF 2000. Christ.

I have the same problem. I have a voodoo 3 3000, DirectX7a.

I had lanscape holes, creatures dissapearing a bit, so I installed old drivers (1.05.00), from July, it fixed the lanscape holes but not the bars being hidden. I tried beta drivers too (1.05.02), no differences.

I tried to play with all the options, nothing makes the bars visible. Triangulation too.

my CPU is a celeron 333MHz. 256MB ram.

Graphic assistant cannot help, it is reserved for at least Pentium 3.

Heeelp...

For the Monster Fusion & Voodoo Banshee we recommend that you use video driver 4.12.01.1222 & that you're max resolution be 1280x1024 16-bit.
