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. You have probably installed the wrong patch (or something else is wrong with your system). Glide2x.ovl version shouldn't matter afaik in Carmageddon.
