The 3dfx Sting crash

Hello everyone,

I'm making this thread cause I want to share what I did to fix the crashes that occur when using 3dfx with sting (or just sting that is crashing, dunno im not supergenius at this). I havnt found any fix on this problem anywhere.

The game kept crashin whenever I left and entered another game (first game was always fine).
I noticed that the crashes occured mostly in act 1,
whenever I entered a game and started in act 5 there was no problem...
Also, when starting in act 5 and going directly to ex. Black Marsh with your map ON then it would always crash aswell...

And that made me think about what the problem could be...

So I changed some stuff in the sting config file, simple fix really... I havnt had a crash since then (still having error msg when quitting the game tho).
The problem how I see it were that the mini shrine icons were totally bugged out or smth... sometime the shrine would have an image of assassin face or smth weird like that, I also removed the icons for chests and some other unnecessary things... Im pasting my edited version of sting config here if you want to use it.

So, thats all folks... hope I helped someone atleast.

Best Regards,
Tarantulah.
