It came out in 98 so it wont be exclusively voodoo1, should work

It works on my Voodoo2 and Banshee, and I think it even has a Direct3D renderer usable too.

Hmm... on my Voodoo 5 computer the whole system freezes at random during game set-up when I use the 3dfx version of Redline Racer [ie.at one of the screens before the race starts]. Directx version runs fine. Driver problem maybe.

Just use Direct3D then. It's not like there's anything more technical than the excessive use of lens flare.
The real attraction of the game is the crashing AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That was a great game, too bad it won't work with XP. I could get it to run a few times, but the biker kept falling repeatedly and I couldn't even race.

Necro but it's my thread anyway and same subject. How time flies.

Just tried this again after reinstall in windows 98 in between times, and RR works fine on the v5 this time using 3dfx at install. Maybe something in the v5 drivers I used before.

I was hoping to set it up as a lan game as it looks like it can work on a lan using ipx whereas with tcpip it seems to want to find an online game server. But it doesn't like 2000 or xp it seems, which means two 98 rigs. Not likely to happen 😜. I guess a VM won't work. Glide wrapper maybe? If it's related to directx somehow.

Redline Racer is working perfectly in Xp Sp3 with nGlide w/o any compatibility fixes.
Test PC was C2D T7500/Geforce 9500M GS.

great, thanks will have to bite the bullet and try nglide, never used a wrapper before

edit: yep it nows runs in xp using nglide and i can set up a game with my 98 box. 😁

Or just get Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing, which is effectively Redline Racing with better textures, so I believe...

Thanks for the tip, maybe I'll get a copy sometime.

This game works perfectly on my michine P3 Voodoo5 Win98. I am using Amigamerlin2.9 drivers.

There are many people who have only the D3D-Version (they get it with a computer or a graphics card). For them, there is also a solution to play the game in XP oder win7.

All you need to do is:
Copy the exe from the CD into your game-folder (overwrite the installed one).
Set use resolution of 640*480 in compatibility-Tab of the exe.
Set 16bit colour at your desktop (under win7 you need click on advanced settings -> list all graphic modes, there are the 16bit-modes).
-> Start the game and have fun!

(for better graphics you can force antialiasing in the nvidia control panel (for nvidia cards))

Impressive! I must get my hands on it...

I was tweaking it last night on Win8.1, needs the DDRAW replacement or the ACT fix (I prefer that) for super smooth frame rate:
