It looks like VRAM corruption, so try changing FrameBuffer Access and OffScreen Drawing to lower settings.

vivrantpig · Sep 9, 2001

ok ill try dat thx lewpy ^_^

vivrantpig · Sep 9, 2001

didnt work lewpy

heres another example... my menu screen

Lewpy · Sep 9, 2001

Are you using save-states? If so, the damage could already be done to the VRAM, and loading the save-state just loads the bad VRAM image. If this is the case, you will need to find some way of coaxing the game in to re-uploading the damaged VRAM areas. Going through different menu systems, etc. may help, as may loading from a memcard.
The Voodoo³ Glide³ driver appears old. Is there a reason you are using old drivers? If not, update to the latest/last 3dfx drivers for the Voodoo³. Some people have good results with recent "hybrid" driver sets, but I can't express an opinion on these as I have not personaly used them.

or maybe 3dfx's website?

Try the Downloads link in the top left of the main page.

Change your "Frambuffer access" back to just "write".

and maybe try "disable" the "bi-linear filtering"

I had the same TEXT problems in FFIX, and changing those fixed for me.

nope

so u dunt think that i shud get new drivers???

vivrantpig · Sep 10, 2001

i figured out the problem!!! it wuz the advanced blending... i saw lizardj's post and he said he had the same problem with ff9 so i tried turning it to basic and it wurked!!! thx for trying to help anywayz guys ^_^

Lewpy · Sep 10, 2001

I still recommend newer drivers, since the Voodoo³ should work fine with Advanced blending

Which Voodoo³ card do you have? 2000/3000, or 3500TV?
What OS do you run? Win95/98/ME, or NT/2000?

If you have a Voodoo2000/3000 and run Win95/98/ME, download these drivers.

If you have a Voodoo2000/3000 and run Win2000, download these drivers.

There don't seem to be WinNT4 drivers for Voodoo3 on the 3dfx page.

Voodoo3500TV needs special driver sets, which are detailed on the 3dfx download page.
