more duke problems........

so I installed the atomic pack addition on my xp pro machine, jumped through all the hoops to get this thing to work (the build compiler, vdm, slowed it down, messed with settings, etc), and still all I get is a black screen when I try to open the game. this is followed by a windows shutdown with the blue screen of death, saying its a problem with "ati2dvag". I assume this has something to do with my ati graphics card? if so, how do I fix it?

Try JFDuke3D.

don't know if this had already been posted before: there is a duke3d opengl edition available (but its not easy to find on the net). it runs on my xp machine without any problems. it's the original duke3d - not a remake like jfduke3d, and it doesn't use a real 3d engine but the original duke3d 2.5 dimensional engine (i mean these strange effects that occured when looking up or down). even the cheat codes are the same

the only thing i haven't tested is the multiplayer mode, but i think it won't work with xp.
so, if the normal version doesn't work and you can't fix it, try to get the opengl version instead.
