PROBLEM
After installing the game, random freezes or you crash when entering the Sim occur.
SOLUTION
Go into the game Video Option and click on the correct API for your card (3Dfx or Rendition RRedline). Click on it even if it already looks selected, thenh click on OK.
PROBLEM
I set the Video Options for one game, in both Multiplayer and single player, but now you have the same crash/freeze in the other games.
SOLUTION
Each game has different shells, so go in the Video Option of each game and select the appropriate API to your card.

After freshly installing DirectX 5, installing the game and rebooting, the game locks up as I am about to enter the sim on my system with a 3Dfx Voodoo Rush.

Random Loud static when Betty voices and sound effects play in combat.
SOLUTION
You may need to uninstall and re-install the game.
PROBLEM
3Dfx Voodoo Rush Users:
There have been reports of a 'Z' shaped blue flashes in the lower portion of the screen.
SOLUTION
Try to run the game in D3D, instead of 3Dfx.
