TROUBLESHOOTING

I have a S3 Chip but how do I know which card it is?

S3 Incorporated does not actually manufacturer graphic cards or video cards. S3 Incorporated actually supplies graphics accelerator chips, BIOS source code, and generic reference drivers. Therefore, if you have a S3 chipset, it is recommended that you attempt first to obtain updated drivers / information about the product through the manufacturer of your video card / computer. S3 does supply a generic set of drivers on the Drivers page; however, these drivers are in no way guaranteed by S3 Incorporated.

S3 also offers S3ID utility which helps to determine which Video Chipset you may have.

During game play, if attempting to make the screen full size, your computer freezes up; instead of changing the video mode during game play, get to the main menu of Hexen II and change the Video options through it.

Running Doom 95

When attempting to run Doom 95 with the S3 968 you will encounter several issues. Currently no known resolution, if any.
