Help Matrox MGA-2064W and GTA2

[Lane]

Hi Folks - I'am a newbie to this forum and I need some help getting my Matrox MGA-2064w and GTA2 working together...

MGA Bios version 3.0
Drivers verion 4.10.01.4120
MGA Desktop version 4.12.013
Card number 590-05 Rev. B

Any help would be appreciated...

I'm not familiar with that game, but I can tell you that if it's a 3D rendered game, you are not gonna get it done with that video card.

That's an old MillenniumII (I think), and it is really just a 2D card, and has almost zero 3D capabilities. The last drivers released for that card where based on DirectX5, and we now use DX7 for most new games.

Not sure also, but I think the 2064w is the Mill I, the Mill II being the 2164w...

Anyway Kruzin is right, it´s simply too old hardware to run it.

Hi Danny,

Can you run GTA2 in software mode as in the original GTA? If so, give that a go.

If you don't have a 3D card next to the Matrox Mil card, you can't play GTA2. It uses only 3D hardware rendering !! I haven't found the option to go to software rendering anyway, as the options are detected by the GTA2 manager (3dfx, Glide, D3D rendering).
