S3 Savage problem

[lenagala]

I have a S3 savage4 agp card with 32MB of video ram. I have used the latest driver for this card. But the problem is I cannot play games. That is I have tried Delta Force 3 and it got stuck. I have tried Blood 2 and it also got stuck. What seems to be the problem ?

Most of the problems I've had with my S3 (PCI 32Mb) seem to be related to the metal.dll that comes with the S3 drivers. Go to find and search for it when it comes up look and see that it is the one in the Windows system folder right click it and go to the properties and see if it is the same version as your driver. Also check that it is the only version on your system (move the rest to a new folder and then zip it up). Also some games don't like to have the "hardware z-buffer clear" enabled, see if you can turn it off in the game setup.
