i am running w2k pro with a viper z200 s3 chipset. i can play cs, quake3, and alice but not medal of honor[its all choppy]. when i play counter strike i have to use software support in the video options instead of open gl or my comp will lock up. also if i try and use an opengl screensaver it locks up. the software support instead of opengl is also making my fps stink average around 20.
help

Sorry dude!
But the game needs at least a 3d card with 16MB of videoram, your Savage3 only has 8MB.
If you would have read the readme file you would know that even the successors of the Savage3 (the Savage4 & Savage2000) are NOT supported by the game.
Sorry dude, blame EA not OpenGL.
no my viper z200 has 32 megs of ram

Then ít cant be using a Savage3 chip as you stated in the topic title.
In fact it uses a Savage2000. Nevertheless this is a cut´n´paste from the readme file that came with the game (someone already posted the hole thing on this board) but it look like nobody cares to read it…
—snip—
The following 16MB or greater 3D accelerators are not fully
supported and do not work properly with the game:
-3Dfx Voodoo 4 and 5
No intro movies play. Various textures are corrupted.
Breakable windows are opaque until broken. Once
broken they have a corrupted texture.
-3Dfx Voodoo 3
Various textures are corrupted. Breakable windows are
opaque until broken. Once broken they have a corrupted
texture. Transparent red bomb placements are invisible.
-3Dfx Voodoo Banshee cards
-Matrox G400 and G450
Frame rate is often below 10 frames per second even at
the lowest video settings. Level load times are longer
than normal.
-Nvidia Vanta
These older cards yield a frame rate that is often
below 10 frames per second even at the lowest video
settings.
-PowerVR NEON 250 cards:
Video Logic PowerVR Neon 250
-S3 Savage 2000 cards:
Diamond Viper II
-S3 Savage 4 cards:
Diamond Stealth III S540
Diamond Stealth III S540 Extreme
-SiS 300 cards
