Dark forces 2 freeze on Windows 95

Hi guys, I'm having an issue that I can't specifically find anything online about, so id appreciate your help.

 

Im trying to play Jedi knight dark forces 2 on my original Windows 95 computer, and it freezes when I click on "new game". (It supposed to play a cinematic and then load the first level)

I ran the minimum requirements check and the system passes without a problem.

Back then driver support was horrible. This is likely a driver issue on your video card.

This is the only game I've had issues with on this PC, do you think if I found a driver online and updated it it would work?

Potentially. No guarantees though.
