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. Many Rage II Macs only have 2MB of VRAM installed. 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. They pick you up and carry you back a long ways. Be careful not to get stuck going in circles Watch out for pits that contain toxic green ooze. It consists of several gated yard areas and one fairly large canyon area near the end. This is a known problem with 3rd-party mice and old versions of Input Sprocket. Level Eight Bring on the Night/Night Attack Level eight is the largest of all levels.

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.
