Just make sure you have the most up-to-date VPRMODE (you can get it from ftp.cica.indiana.edu) and that you have the absolute latest patch of T7G. Until I applied the patch, I could not get the game to work worth crap - kept hanging my machine in the intro and the graphics were garbled. Worked fine in lo-res though. >The one trick is that, if memory serves me, the Viper is an S3 based card >and I had trouble running T7G on an S3 based card, I ended up having to >drop down to medium resolution graphics because it just wouldn't work on >high resolution. Viper is NOT S3 based. It is based on the Weitek P9000.
