New Messiah Demo

Nov 28, 1999 8:16am CST tags: Messiah, Demo
A day late, but with a lot of stuff fixed and added, Shiny has released the updated Messiah demo. Voodoo Extreme has got the exclusive, grab it here. They have both the new demo and a patch for the old demo. This new version will make dialup users cry even more though, as the demo is now 90.6mb (compared to 70mb last time) and the patch is 39.1mb. Here are a few things that have been fixed

- Get rid of 32 bit resolution check
- Fixed A3D bug in their audio card detect code
- Mip mapping enabled (speed increase...looks better)
- Fixed 3DFX palette error bug
- Fixed TnL buffer size (Nvidia GeForce 3D card issue)
- Updated some AI states, improving gun-fights

Apparently an old bug slipped by though, as you are still required to set your card to 16-bit, and it still won't work in 32-bit. That's pretty stupid imho. How do you like the new version? Post your your comments.
