Glider issue

Did a reinstall, kept gettin an error every game.Anyways when i try applyin the glider back when i run the video test I no longer get the option to select glide. Only get the 2 option.Anyone able to point me in the right direction to remedy this.

 

There is still a 3dfx Glide Wrapper that is supported as far as I know. Go ahead and check out the attached files below. Let me know if this works for you.


glide3x.dll - CLICK TO DOWNLOAD
The file glide3x.dll is the wrapper itself. In general, you only need to copy the file to the game-directory. You can also copy it to the system-directory of the operating-system but it is then possible that the wrapper interferes other wrappers.

glide-readme.txt - CLICK TO READ
The file glide-readme.txt is the help-file of the wrapper.

glide-liesmich.txt - CLICK TO READ (USE GOOGLE TRANSLATION IN CHROME)
Like the glide-readme.txt, but in german.

glide-init.exe - CLICK TO DOWNLOAD
The glide-init.exe is the configuration-application. You can change the settings of the wrapper with it. Therefor the application-window is divided into 4 sections: on the left is the mainmenu, in the middle the you can see and change the values themselves, on the right you can get some help by the program(if OpenGL-infos have been queried before). In the bottom-part of the Window, the content of the help-file is shown, if the application found the

GLIDE is a graphiccard-interface that has been evolved by the company "3DFX", to give application-programmers the chance, to access their graphiccard-chipsets (socalled voodoo-chipsets) with high efficiency.

The game "Diablo 2" (so "Lord of Destruction" , too) is known for the fact, that it runs far better with GLIDE than with Direct3D. The actual problem is, that meanwhile the company "3DFX" has been taken over by "NVIDIA" and so there's no manufacturer any more who produces graphiccards that support GLIDE naturally.
At this point a GLIDE-wrapper gives support:
It makes the GLIDE-interface available, by receiving the GLIDE-commands and translating them to another interface. So it is possible to use GLIDE-enhenced programs even on graphic-cards, which normally do not support this interface.

No worries, Bored. We will get you back up and playing in no time. Unfortunately my post above did not fix your issue, however I haven't given up on fixing the problem yet!

What were the errors you received? Was it an Unhandled Exception: Access Violation error? Can you tell us if you have made any recent changes to your graphics settings and/or your graphics card?
