![]() So I disabled my 3dfx cards in Device Manager and restarted the computer - verified the cards were still disabled. The Voodoo2 is only here for Glide games. So.not sure how to get the game to use the TNT2 card, which should be better for OpenGL and DirectX games. The remedy I have is to go into the config file's folder and delete the config file so that the game loads with default settings. ![]() It SHOULD be able to play in 1024x768, but if I change that, it crashes. Turning on nVidia Distance Fog crashes, obviously. That explains some of my graphics setting limitations. So yeah, it's running off the Voodoo2 SLI. So I finally crawled under my desk with the game running and unplugged the VGA cable from my TNT2 card (which goes into my 1st Voodoo2 card). Have fun slaying some Nazis! Reply 9 of 18, by FFXIhealer Extract: WOLFMP.EXE from the patch, copy it to the win9x rtcw folder, this will remove the steam rtcw drm. Extract WOLFSP.EXE from the patch, copy it to the win9x rtcw folder, this will remove the steam rtcw drm.Īll below can be skipped if multiplayer is not required ĥ. Copy the installation folder to your Win9x build before starting the game on your main computer (X:\XXXX\steamapps\common\ Return to Castle Wolfenstein)ģ. Download RTCW on your main PC with Steam.Ģ. At least when I downloaded the game a few days ago.ġ. Unfortunately the webpage is wrong, the rtcw exe in steam version requires Steam to be running. I don't know how accurate that website is but even if it did require Steam you could always use iortcw port.Īs for compatibility I only have the original ver so unknown if the Steam ver is compatible with 9x but if not it looks like the iortcw port uses SDL1 so assuming it's compiled with Mingw or VS2008 or below it should work on 9x. So my question is: Does anyone know how to take the STEAM version of this game OFF of a modern PC and run it on Windows 98 WITHOUT STEAM? Or should I just try to get the original version of the game on CD-ROM from a site somewhere? We all know how STEAM likes to f*** with games via updates.Īccording to this: the game does not have any DRM ![]() I've read the system requirements, and this PC is easily capable of running the game, but we all know just how much STEAM likes Windows 98, or non-SSE2 CPUs (my Athlon XP 3200 Barton comes to mind). I've never played this game, so I'm interested.īut I also have this great retro gaming PC - a Pentium III 256MB of PC-100 memory, 40GB hard drive, Windows 98, and a Diamond Viper V770 RIVA TNT2 32MB AGP card and dual 12MB STB V2-1000 Voodoo2 PCI cards in SLI. And in this case, I look at "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" for only $5. The entire point of the Steam Service is that you don't have to go searching for bug patches from elsewhere on the net because they have a different series of files.I'm sure this has been asked before, but with the new Wolfenstein II being released - and we all know about STEAM - I've been looking at all the STEAM Wolfenstein games. Maybe it's time for the company to make patch 1.42b official and just make that part of the download for steam. One possible explanation is that they may have released RtCW twice? I know I got mine in the collector's tin, first release, and I know there are some differences with the first release and subsequent ones, maybe that's why I don't have issues with my CD version (despite its bugs, it wasn't "fixed"). I do not know where people are getting the insane idea that they are the same exact file and setup, especially since my CD version boots up differently than the steam version. I've never had the problem with my CD files that I've had with the files I downloaded from steam. ![]() My two computers have identical specs, down to both being toshibas with the same operating system and drivers. The steam files are not the same, the location of the same game files pretty much proves that.Ģ.
