So it should run on voodoo3!
HOWEVER, it is not even close to being playable on an S3, it gets about 3FPS, and it crashes after 30 seconds..but atleast you can start the .exe!

Torque runs on an S3 Savage 4mb....So it should run on voodoo3!

Try the Mesa3D (formally MesaGL) API. It's OpenGL-compatible and geared more toward Voodoo cards.

Looks like they even just put out an update on April 01, 2002.

I have a TNT2 video card and it crashes on me when I try to actually play it, when it is on OpenGL. It worked fine when I switched it to D3D though.Michael

The Torque engine should work on the Voodoo3, though it's not something I've personally tested in a while. Running with the -console may help us figure out what's going on. Another thing to do is run with "-log 1", this will create a console.log file which you can check for error messages.

the error message states Unknown. well since that didnt do much ill just shut up.
i tested game on same comp diff installed graphics card and All-in-wonder and no go still.
Ill try to think of possible solutions not save the world. :)

Just make sure you have the latest drivers installed

Actually Torque runs fine on older video cards. I used to run it on my Voodoo2 (still around 15-20 fps)... now I run it on a TNT2 and my other comp has a Geforce2.Just make sure you have the latest drivers installed

I too have problems with the latest head releases of torque not running with -game rw and know of people that have problem with the download version. I have posted a realm wars bug report here. On a side note all issues I've seen has only happened with Windows XP.Thanks,
Bryan

To be sure, start the exe with the parameter -console, so you can switch to the Console window (ALT+TAB) when the game crashes - and maybe see the error...
But I'm almost positive that Torque will not run on a Voodoo 3...
