Glide in Starsiege Tribes

A bit of wild speculation
Does Microsoft include a Voodoo2 driver in Windows XP? I know that a Voodoo3 driver was originally not included, but I have seen what appears to be a driver for it in the Windows Update Catalog.
If you're using a Microsoft-supplied driver for your Voodoo2 then you may be missing the necessary run-time files for the GLide API. This would be similar to Microsoft's decision not to include OpenGL support in many of their included device drivers.
This is just wild speculation. I hope you get it working!

Windows XP does come with a Voodoo 3 driver, at least for DirectDraw and Direct3D, but majorly buggy, if you ever try to run The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with Jabo's GFX plugin, there will be GFX corruption all over the place,
you will get brown squares and a red sky.

The Tribes tech support/forums would probably be able to help you out.

Knock yourself out, hun. Those drivers even work correctly for my Obsidian2.

Last try
Regarding my earlier post of using WinGlide, you could at least try it. If it works, hey, we know it's not a driver problem. Your reply, to me at least, seemed a bit rude. So you'll understand why this is my last shot at helping you.

This is specifically referring to a great racing game called POD, but from an API standpoint this advice should apply to you, as well.

sorry if i seemed rude, i kinda did, but it was unintentional, i have heard of that error for people running glide in windowed, only because, you can't, the Glide API is for 3D Fullscreen junk, i am going to try the SLI thing, because in my settings it actually mentions that it helps in some games to turn it offdcook32p said:
EDIT: it didn't help, i am starting to hate tribes for having a glide option that doesn't work, i get lotsa gfx bugs in OGL with this ProSavage

Assuming you have the original copy, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it and then applying any update patches. If you don't have the original, then that might be the problem.
