Oh yeah, duh, I didn't read your previous post.

:P

Ohh, try to set your desktop to 16bit mode and see how if it works faster.

Ummmm, it is:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "voodoo3"
Monitor "Generic"
DefaultDepth 16

Mesa DRI is hardware acceleration.

We have a voodoo3 something card, so I will try it in windows 2000. What drivers are you using and where can I download them? It will help to have the same driver version as you for testing.

I dunno about the slowness in Linux though.

I was using the standard drivers found on 3dfx.com AND tried the latest 3rd party drivers. Try the standard and see what you get first.

I was also using DirectX 9.

Ok, that "UNSUPPORTEDCOLOROPERATION" error told me a lot.
I tried it with the voodoo we have and yes there were missing objects in sector 7. I failed to write a fallback for that type of material. I fixed it for Windows and it will be in the next update.
The chunks reappeared when you got farther away because the LOD version of the objects used a different material that was not failing.
I used these voodoo drivers: v3-w2k-1.03.00.zip
that I found on the www.voodoofiles.com link off of 3dfx.com.

I still don't know why it's suddenly very slow in Linux though.

HAAAA-LLELUJA!!!! Now if the Linux client would work, I'd be a happy lil' camper.

And for those of you who think it's just because I'm software rendering, you may be right, but I ran glxgears and got these results:
7252 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1450.400 FPS
7568 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1513.600 FPS
7569 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1513.800 FPS
6922 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1384.400 FPS
7552 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1510.400 FPS

Before I compiled X with Direct Rendering support, I was only getting 500 FPS or so. So is Vendetta not running GLX properly?

Ideas?

This line appeared a lot:

Would it be helpful to post the whole log? It's not very long...

Also, may have found some useful stuff for my linux problem too, my openglerr.log file was empty, but here is my openglinfo.log:

Hmm... You're using Mesa (software acceleration)... And an old Mesa at that.

?????? I was using hardware acceleration in 3.3.4. Had to be, there was no way I could have achieved that kind of framerate on software acceleration.

Well, you don't seem to have any installed. But I dunno, maybe Mesa supports VooDoo (and nothing else) for hardware accel. Um...

Also, in Windows, I just updated to the latest Amiga/Beta Drivers Available for the 3dFX VooDoo 3500 Card, along with the latest DirectX version. Tested it with every 3d application I have (Crazy Taxi, Quake 3, and UT), all of them work flawlessly! Except Vendetta 3.3.5. It still has chunks missing from the station. Now folks if I am screwing something up, what is it?!?! I've done everything I know how to do within my power. I need my Vendetta... I'm jonesin' bad here man!

Does the directx8.log file have any errors in it when you run Vendetta in Windows with the voodoo?

Yes, just tried it, still extremely slow....and still took longer to load textures than windows.

In every version of Vendetta, I've been able to get it to run at a decent speed, until 3.3.5. My framerate dropped from like anywhere from 20-200 fps, down to 2-4 fps. I've turned everything WAYYY down, still didn't help. Also, the station in sec 9 looks all rainbow-like. Here's my hardware:

Gentoo Linux 1.4 w/ OpenGL drivers
VooDoo 3500 16 Mb
1200 Mhz Duron

200fps on a VooDoo? Amazing! heh. What are your gfx settings at now?

Textures, dude. Lower your texture settings. I was slow as hell, then I lowered my texture settings and it's all good.
