Wow, i cant believe anyone hasnt posted this yet, im sorry its taken so long, now you can be somewhat happy. Shiny Customer service told me this the first time i talked to them on the phone. WHat you have to do to get voodoo drivers to show mana/health, and fix all the wierd graphics glitches with monsters and stuff is to DOWNGRADE your voodoo driver. You got to the voodoo website and DL the first version of the voodoo drivers, and get rid of your new version. This fixes all the problems except I still cant use patch 3. Anything before patch 3 works perfectly though.
First, do you know where I can download an older version of Voodoo Banshee driver? I tried the one comes with Creative which is somewhat older but I don't see a difference.
Secondly, in the readme it says it works with driver 4.12.01.1222...
I have tried to download the drivers and blasterControl from the Creative website and now the health and mana bar shows, as well as teh bar indicating the resolution selected, but, the game does not show the ground a certain distance aways from the character. I tried the disable the fogging teh fumble with other graphics options but nothing works yet. Anyone can help?
sh*t... i posted about this not too long ago, and no-one from shiny really answered me...
i downgraded the banshee drivers to the 1.03.40 release i think, in order to get Black and White to run... in Sac these work better than the latest ones (in which ground was missing, limbs were wierd, etc), but still no health and mana bars...
i have turned off triangle strips, and disabling detailed textures does nothing except make the ground look funny (like no lighting or shadows or something)... with detailed textures on, it looks the same as on the geforce 2 mx computer (it still looks f*cked tho cos it stops detailing the textures after a certain distance, the same as on the geforce 2 mx)...
i don't understand y shiny haven't tried to fix this yet, since from this thread i can see that the problem has been going on since the beginning...
The game does NOT show the ground, it's not detailed texture, but the whole ground become "nothing" a certain distance away from the wizard. It's like a piece of circular ground moving with the wizard, and the trees and monsters are standing on void when outside that "radius"...
no use ans this problem doesn't show up with the newest 1.04.00 driver, which has the no health/mana probelm. In the older driver the health adn mana are there but it's more unplayable with the grounds missing. I end up reinstalling the newer driver, at least I can complete the game without the health and mana bar...
Hi, are you sure that link is 1.04.21 driver? I download the driver, the file name is 1.04.00, nd it has exactly the same size as the 1.04.00 driver, and the document says it's 1.04.00...
