Why doesnt RON like my video card? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I have a voodoo 3 with 16MB VRAM but RON doesnt like it. Any thoughts?

As it turns out, I was able to find out from a fansite that RON doesnt work with voodoo 3 cards AT ALL and its problematic with some others including some high powered new cards.

Its a pity this info wasnt on the BHG website.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

In the Readme there is a complete list of video cards that may have problems. The Voodoo problems are listed in there.

For the Voodoo it isn't so much an issue of supporting the card, as supporting a card that hasn't had driver updates in years. With Voodoo out of business and no driver updates it is really tough to support the card well.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I'm not complaining about BHG's lack of support for voodoo, as you say there's no driver updates. How do I get the readme? Download 194 MB and install the Demo. Thats OK for me, it took 10 min or so. What about someone with dial-up? Thats a long time to wait just to find out that the game wont work AT ALL. This info should be clearly available on the demo download page.

EDIT: after much searching on the official website I found 1 game requirements blurb hidden in the FAQ's that said no voodoo cards supported.

Tired of ads?

Not that I've found at BHG. I'm sure they will update their site, but for now its a pain.

THIS SITE has RON troubleshooting including a list of problems with various video cards

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

So.... I happen to have an intell driver. Will there be a patch that fixes this, or should I just return it and figure I don't get to play?
