Half Life - Turbo GL Problem
Hello fellow Matrox Sufferers,
Surprise Surprise I have a problem running Half Life or Half Life - Opposing
Force with the new Turbo GL Driver 5,41,6,1 & Powerdesk 5.41.
After installing Half Life & updating the Open GL driver the game seems to
run perfectly, with quite a performance boost as well. Then after a period
of play (sometimes ten minutes sometimes a couple of hours) the game will
lock up.
The only solution is to switch the machine off & back on again. Then when
you go back in to Half Life & try & load your saved game the game will lock
up again immediately.
The only solution is to Uninstall the turboGL driver & then resume the game
using the default driver.
Any one else experiencing this problem.
The only other game that I have tested the Turbo GL driver on is Quake 3
Demo which seems to run fine although I havent played it for longer than
20-30 minutes at a time.
Its a shame because as I said the Turbo GL certainly seems to boost
Performance on Half Life at least.
My Spec
Viglen PIII450
128MB Ram
Fujitsu 17gb hd
Matrox G400 32mb dual head
Vortex 2 sound card
Win98 2nd Edition
Anyone else having similar problems.
Cheers
Dave
