Im not sure that its a video card error but i can't get mafia to start. It plays the tatooist video at the start. then moves into the black screen with mafia in th bottom left and starts to load. then it dies and boots me into windows. Anyone got any idea of how to solve tis?

He may be turkish, his name may look like a poorly adapted swearword! but he is my hero.....Cuneyt!

This genius made pretty much the only decent 3rd party 3dfx drivers, so now my crazy old voodoo card works with mafia! What a hero!

Anyone else got voodoo driver problems (dodgy south american chauffeurs!) go to www.voodoofiles.com and search for cuneyt.Then download the appropriate one for your operating system! now i'm off for gaming fun!

I think it's because the devlopers may not have optamised the game for Voodoo support. I was reding in PCGamer a few weeks back, that many developers prefer Direct3D and OpenGL as apposed to 3DFX, and a few games nowadays don't have the support to run on systems with 3DFX, including the voodoo cards.

I know a solution, but I don't want to you to hurt me :-{}
