And these 1.x drivers are from mar-jun 1998, the date the patch was published. Even carmav.exe runs directly over voodoo2, but with some flickering prblems in the top bar (as I barely remember also seeing when using my voodoo Banshee on my pentium mmx 25 years ago). the Directx 7 compatible reference drivers from year 2000 everybody is using (3.02.02) didn't exist, neitherĪnd all of them hang the game when starting the race.īut when using drivers 1.x ( I tested 1.02.51 and 1.03.00) voodoo2c.exe runs without any problem. So when the SCi employee did this fast hack to support voodoo 2: If you check the modification date of the file "voodoo2c.exe" is 22/06/98. I did a lot of tests and I think I've found what the problem is. First I thought it was a problem on the voodoo 2 emulation, but as I see this problem also happens on real hardware.
I had this same problem on 86Box emulator (PCEm fork). You have probably installed the wrong patch (or something else is wrong with your system). Glide2x.ovl version shouldn't matter afaik in Carmageddon. If in pure DOS you probably need cwsdpmi or similar dpmi server with 64 megabytes configured. It's one of the latest DOS games and uses more memory than others. Carmageddon doesn't get enough dpmi memory in 9x every time I've played it.

Usually use Windows 9x since it's way easier right click the 3dfx executable or batch file (whichever one has 3dfx patch, or hires.bat too), go to memory tab and manually enter 65535 (max) for dpmi memory (default is auto and available choices don't have enough dpmi from menu). Same crud happens with Primal Rage (have to manually copy 16mb files for 16mb version) and probably other DOS games. Basically it crashes, or it runs in low memory mode if it doesn't. Following seems to happen in this case (game crashes after choosing start position (first frame of actual race), rearview mirror missing, mug missing, graphic setting lowered, and/or sounds missing). Carmageddon doesn't get enough dpmi memory. This sounds like the same problems I've always had with this game. There is also an unofficial installer for the 3DFX patch, but I haven't tried it. I dont see why the Voodoo 2 patch shouldn't work with Voodoo 1 cards tbh, but I have not tested this personally. It supports all versions and removes CD check.
The game can be run with VOODO2C.EXE for Carmageddon and VOODO2S.EXE for Splat Pack. It requires the final beta patch ( carv24rw.zip) to be installed. The Voodoo2 patch includes executables for both the original game and the Splat Pack.

It had no technical support and it was created by a member of the Stainless Software programming team in his own time for no reward. In July 1998 the alpha Voodoo2 patch was released. It is unknown what this adds, but it is speculated that this patch works for more versions, even the censored German/Australian versions. A couple of months later (February 1998), an unofficial third party patch was released online on with the filename " carm3dfx.zip". The latest official beta version is called " carv24rw.zip" and was released October 25th 1997 with Voodoo Rush support. A patch (CARMAV.EXE) was also released online by SCI/Stainless and had several betas from what I can find (first one released beginning of August 1997). This version included native support for 3DFX and a patch to add support for the original game (3DFX.EXE). Let me try and explain and see if you guys follow.Ĭarmageddon initially had no 3DFX support and this was first added with the release of the expansion: Splat Pack (or Carmageddon Max which combined both the original game and the Splat Pack). The Carmageddon 3DFX patches is a bit wrapped into each other. Let me try and explain and see if you guys follow. To eliminate the patch problem, read the following from this thread: vetz wrote: The Carmageddon 3DFX patches is a bit wrapped into each other.
