If you upgrade your VRAM to 4MB or more, then the game will play full-screen. That explains the black 'letterbox' border around everything. This is barely enough VRAM for Bugdom to play and in order for the game to have enough texture memory, the game must play in a smaller window than normal. Bugdom 2 is a big game that will keep you entertained for a very long time. Many Rage II Macs only have 2MB of VRAM installed. You play Skip McFly, a grasshopper who explores the areas inside and around a house, and encounter both friends and enemies.The graphics in Bugdom 2 are absolutely stunning Beautiful 3D animation and great characters from spear-throwing roaches to blood-sucking ticks. All later machines have Rage Pro or Rage 128 chips which are far superior.Ģ. Old G3's and Rev A iMacs all come with Rage II's. In addition, these Rage II chips are very slow, so Bugdom plays in a degraded quality mode to regain some performance. Older Macs with Rage II chips are not capable of displaying fog. Bugdom scales its quality settings based on the hardware and memory installed on your Mac. The game looks small, grainy, or pixellated, and there isn't any fog effect.ġ.

If it still does not work, then that mouse is not Input Sprocket compatible and will not work with the game. Get the latest version of Input Sprocket and the mouse should function. This is a known problem with 3rd-party mice and old versions of Input Sprocket. You should download the newer drivers here. The ATI 3D drivers that ship with OS 8.6 have a bug which causes this to happen on machines with Rage II chips. Or, run the QuickDraw 3D 1.6 installer which comes with the full version of Bugdom.Īll of the textures go psychedelic after playing the game for just a few seconds. Be sure to select all of the Quicktime and QuickDraw 3D options. Run the Quicktime 4.x Installer from Apple and do Custom Install. On international Mac's this also includes ALL extensions with the letters 'QD3D' anywhere in the filename! This is critical!Ģ. Go into your Extensions folder and delete all of the QuickTime and QuickDraw 3D files.

This means that QuickDraw 3D 1.6 is not installed properly. I get an error saying 'Q3Renderer_NewFromType failed'.

You should not try to play Bugdom on OS X. For most people the game will run in Classic mode on OS X, but it runs at about 1/5th the speed that it would on OS 9, and there are graphics anomalies. Bugdom runs really slow or not at all on OS Xīugdom is not an OS X native application, therefore, it will only run on OS 8 or 9.
