Help with 3D issues on IBM T41

Yeah ATi was always worse than NVIDIA, I had the same with Operation Flashpoint on a 256mb Radeon and had to swap to NVIDIA Geforce and never used them again.
You should be able to find a cheap Win98 setup with NVIDIA card.

Found my earlier account lol still trying to work this out. Olly, any ideas??

I reckon it will require hooking up the laptop to an old CRT monitor that is capable of 100mhz refresh rate but no guarantee. Will continue thinking of other potential solutions.

I don't have anything like it to use and tbh i wanted it as an all in one unit hence buying a laptop.

It sucks because the frame rate is so smooth and its all moving like butter, its the smoothest i've seen dark omen run. But this flicker issue is killing me.

Could you try different refresh rates set on the ATi control panel and win98 display settings, although might be fixed at 60 Hertz but try 50 or 75 and maybe 100 if possible.

I can't see any option to change it. Only thing i see is:

Can you change adapter to the integrated Intel graphics card perhaps on your screen shot or uninstall/disable the ati

[olly]

Could also try something crazy like using our mod pack Engrel.exe and .dlls

[pentiumMMX]

It's an old thinkpad, there is no intel graphics just a dedicated ATI GPU

I'm thinking it's drivers just being crap with older games and sadly Dark Omen just will refuse to run on it. So annoying.

How did you get on testing each troubleshooting selection and applying the patch to your ATi, as maybe last hope. Such as ticking force 3d and then pressing ok and applying the patch to your card. Then unpatch and tick another selection like single scene etc. Also try ticking both the no 3dfx and mmx options.
