Hi Tileman

Have you tried Wicked GL? Some people say it's better than MiniGL, but I have never used it. Can't hurt to try if MiniGL isn't working though. http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/biggrin.gif

Anyway, here's the link

Look for drvmap.txt here:
SIERRA\Half-Life\gldrv

open it and make sure it is pointing to the correct directory for 3dfxgl.dll...this line:
gldrv/3dfxgl.dll 3Dfx Mini Driver

Also, the way I fixed mine was to do incremental upgrades instead of the full 1104 upgrade.
