Midtown madness 1 tweaker install#
If the game runs horrible for you, then you probably should update your drivers (I think we've got that down now.) and install the latest version of DirectX. I used to play at 1600x1200 with a Voodoo3 3000 / P2 450 system and the frame rate rarely dropped below 30 (judging from eye). Midtown Madness runs great with a Voodoo3 card, assuming everything is configured correctly. If it doesn't, visit the Half-Life Autoexec Creator and make sure everything is set to your needs. If you're really desperate, you could install the original drivers that shipped with your Voodoo3. The links to older drivers may not be readily available on 3dfx's site, so you'll need to search around. If Half-Life doesn't look right or run properly, you should try to install older drivers (assuming you've tried the latest drivers). The first major consideration is drivers (I know, again.). Just like Quake2, Half-Life is dependent on a few things. Don't be afraid to experiment and test out all the various settings to find out which work best for the games you play. With any other options in this display tab, you probably won't see a huge difference. If this happens, disable this option before running these games. Some games may give weird errors or have visual problems if this is enabled. You should see a slight performance increase. This will not affect the performance of the card. Disable Limit Texture Memory to 2 MB unless you have problems with games crashing or giving Glide errors. It will increase the visual quality in most games and the performance hit is not too major if you have a fast system (266 MHz+).
I highly recommend that you enable this option. The next box says "Force Mipmap dithering". I personally don't care for this splash screen so I check this box. If you check the Disable the splash screen option, you will no longer see those animated 3dfx logos pop up when Glide or the OpenGL ICD is accessed. I recommend that you set this according to the picture above. Now most videos should look better, and the performance hit is not too severe on powerful systems. I recommend that you enable this option if you have a Pentium II or faster system. A new option is available: Use higher quality but lower performance video. During the night I set this value to 1.00 because the extra brightness is not necessary.
I set this value between 1.15 and 1.30 during the day because glare from the sun makes it harder to see. Adjust the gamma if your desktop seems too bright (or dark). If you didn't know, gamma adjusts the brightness. There are quite a few settings here that can alter the way games and applications look and run. Click to enlarge (my recommended settings): Click Settings at the top and then the Advanced button. To access the display properties, right click your desktop and choose Properties.
