Patches

Few games released to date have supported graphics accelerators out of the box. To take advantage of your 3Dfx, you first have to run around the net tracking down specific patches and drivers, leaving you precious little time to actually enjoy those to-die-for graphics. So, to save you the trouble, I've done the scrambling for you, and thrown together the following download links.

Carmageddon US version Beta 2, UK version here, Dated 8/11/97
Descent II v1.2 patch required
GLQuake (Quake) Dated 8/9/97
Interstate '76 v1.08 Beta
Tomb Raider Dated 2/12/97
MDK Dated 6/5/97
Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries v.1.081 Beta
Outlaws v1.1, Dated 5/14/97

Video Card Drivers

To insure full compatibility with the above patches, you should install the most recent video drivers provide by the card's manufacturer.

Orchid Righteous 3D v2.0, Dated 7/97
Diamond Monster 3D v1.08, Dated 6/19/97
Hercules Stingray 128/3D v1.04c Beta, Dated 7/28/97
Deltron RealVision Flash 3D v1.1

Useful Miscellany

DirectX 5.0 Microsoft has released an updated version of its DirectX set of multimedia APIs. With enhanced Direct3D support among a sprinkling of new features, this is a useful download to insure the best current and future compatibility, Dated 8/4/97
Glide Runtime Drivers v2.4, Most of the above patches require these Glide drivers. However, the drivers included with the downloads have now been superceded by this latest version.
