First Fatal Error is

Unable to create 3D Device

followed by a Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime Library window saying...

...Runtime Error!

Program: C:/Westwood/Emperor/Games.EXE

abnormal program termination

anyone else happen across something like this? oops! I have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP video card. Not for long however. Still, Direct8 installed, aw heck. Anyone?

I downloaded the latest driver for the Voodoo card, reinstalled DirectX8 and still that damn "Unable to create 3D Device"!

Yup. Downloaded my card's latest driver, reinstalled DirectX8, added -C to my target line, nothing, nada, null.

Almost looks like Dune doesn't support Voodoo3's?

Well I have a similar problem, the game loads but it crashes/reboots way too often. I have the latest drivers etc but it doesn't seem to help. I think there was some threads about the voodoo 3 on the official boards, you might want to look there. Just do a search and you should find it. Haven't heard anything about your card though zopak.

Been there. Looks like a huge problem too. No word from Westwood, 3dfx.com just went off-line (taking thier drivers with them). Only thing I can say..."nutbunnies".

Hey! Those 1.05 drivers really work! Um, if anyone is looking for them, try Westwood's message boards. There should be an address around somewhere. And thanks people.
