Does anyone else here use Windows NT and Hugo?

I was talking to Kent about this, and we basically came to the conclusion that there's a very shitty video card on my NT box at work. I am seeing an effect which looks like the "brightness" level has been turned all the way up.

But is anyone else out there using NT 4.0 and Hugo? I would like to perform a little experiment, if so, with you. (Actually, all it involves is your installation of the latest rev of Hugo, which I can direct you to, and running Fallacy of Dawn on it in graphics-enabled mode.)

Um, I played FOD on an NT4 system, and it was fine.

Right, for 3.0.04 it was OK.

The question is.... if you install the version of Hugo that is right here:

(3.0.06 with a build date of late March, like the 27th or so)

... do the colors look bleached when you do that?

It still looks fine, on an actual NT 4.0 system.

My graphics info:

ATI XPERT@Work, 800x600x16bit.

OK, it looks like it's a confirmed Rage 3D 4MB problem. Aces!

The XPERT is a 3D Rage Pro with 8MB.

Try newer drivers?
