I played a couple missions without the Glide wrapper. It didn't crash, but performance was not a happy thing. The 3D jerks a lot! This is probably due to DX 9.0 when the game was designed for DX 6.0. I don't think that DX's are all completely 100% backwards compatible. It used to be billed that way to us in the past though.
