Apologies, I see Red Faction, I think Descent 4 and I was operating on too little sleep when I answered you. Obviously Red Faction is Open GL only. I ended up playing it using my ATI Radeon, and can't offer specific Voodoo help. The general suggestions are the same, make sure you are using the latest version of Red Faction (1.2) and try the latest drivers. The one site I know of with Macintosh 3dfx info still up is <http://www.mac3dfx.com/> which might have other suggestions. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
