FIX FOR HYPERBLADE AND THE 3DFX VOODOO2 CARD

HyperBlade owners who have purchased the Voodoo2 card from 3Dfx have reported that HyperBlade does not work with this card. The symptom is that the screen goes black and nothing happens.

This is caused by a bug in the triple buffering code. The HB3DFxV2 patch will turn off triple buffering on the 3DFx Voodoo2 card and then re-enable it when the game exits. Note that this fix is ONLY for use with the 3DFx Voodoo2 card and will not make any difference on any other card.

You just need to place HB3DFxV2.exe in the HyperBlade main directory (wherever
Hyperx.exe is) and run this new exe. The patch will start up HyperBlade directly and will not ask you what kind of 3D accelerator that you have installed.

NOTE THAT THIS MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD NO LONGER RUN THE GAME FROM THE AUTOPLAY SCREEN THAT COMES UP WHEN YOU INSERT THE CD. THE PATCH FILE ONLY WORKS WHEN RUN DIRECTLY.

Please send email to studio@wizbang.com if you have any questions or to report bugs with this patch.

Thanks for your interest in HyperBlade and have fun playing!
