Serious Sam. IT ROCKS.

i got seirous sam last weekend. its sooooo much fun.

and with my geforce2pro & athlon 1350@150, i can run it at
1024x768x16bit high quality textures @ 2x2 anti aliasing!
ooh raa SWEEEEEET.

two quesitons though, one sam related the other general.

1. how do you guys handle large numbers of charging bulls. i can sidestep and avoid small numbers, but when i get charged by a dozen or more i kinda die ALOT. (thats without excessive use of the cannon)

2. 32bit textures are corrupted with my system & setup. and it also happens with quake2. general mashing of textures, and that "walking through walls tearing". i know its not OC related, and definately not detonator related or openGL setting dependent.... so could it possibly be cauzed by directx? or the AGP apature size? possibly UWSC in the bios? any other ideas?
win2k
sp2
latest detonators 14.10, via 4in1's 4.32, athlon agp patch, a7v133 mobo agp miniport driver, directx 8.1

still looks very cool in 16bit though

you are right about serious sam.... it does rock.... and if you dont know how to "rocket jump" you will never get past the first couple levels. when faced with thousands of charging cratures you have to look for large ditches to rocket jump over so they will all fall in (you will see exactly what i am talking about when you get there) or you have to be able to rocket jump onto walls. how do you do it? you must run toward the wall or ditch and when yo uget ~5 ft away face down/jump/fire a rocket into the ground to catapult you over your object. you will take a health hit, but nothing compared to the mauling youd take by the creatures chasing you.

...and i would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids...
