Game updated to 2.0.4 and now it's like a slideshow. Any ideas?

Edit: mouse works great in the menu but once a game starts its like back to 25fps and the game stutters like crazy. Tried a fresh install, reboot, but nothing has worked.

Edit2: Yea, idk. I uninstalled the last windows security update and it's still hosed. Performance is actually worse than the original glide drivers somehow. heavy sigh - i can't go back to 25fps after playing 60 for the last couple weeks.

This has been working flawlessly for me. Only problem I have is if I alt-tab, it minimizes to the desktop. I have multiple monitors, so i'll alt-tab to get my cursor to scroll a window or use another program. It's a minor annoyance, but any ideas how to fix it?

Nope, it should work. Check your game options, maybe it is turned off?

In windowed mode? Use -dxscale2 or -dxscale3 options.
If you want to scale window by some other number, use special version that supports floating point scaling (link in a first post).

The problem is that i`m getting a giant blackbars when i`m using dxscale2 or 3. bigger than my monitor and if i don`t turn this on, my game runs on a super small window.

And about the sounds it`s weirdly turned on. i`ll try reinstalling everything and see if it solves

Should i start the game through the game.exe shortcut ? i've noticed that when i open the game through the launcher i can hear the sound but no video is displayed. And when i start the game through the game.exe shortcut the game gets that 1076x768 resolution but without sound ( and the 60fps works properly ).

As I mentioned - you need specially built version that supports other scale numbers.
So you can set scale=1.5 (in cfg file) or any other number, which will fit to your screen.

Not sure why your sound doesn't work. But you can also start the game via MXL Launcher, if you want. Just set video mode to 3DFX Glide and use config file to specify noresmod=true.
