would be so memory intensive and it made GPL totally unplayable on my PC
(Pentium 233, 64meg ram, voodoo 2 accelerator) Using Windows 98 beforehand
it was as smooth as silk. Even on VROC ,I was beginning to get the hang of
the sim.
As I didnt back up the windows 98 config, I had to reformat my HDD,
reinstall win 98 along with everything else. (I have a second HDD in which
GPL was installed so nothing was altered there).
After reinstalling everything back into the HDD , GPL worked fine until I
went on VROC, the problem being that the steering wheel (in the game) would
twitch intermittently and ***ly to the left side making accurate driving
impossible.
This problem never occurred when offline.
I decided to download drivers for the voodoo card and re install direct x 7.
The game worked ok exept that it wouldnt close properly and would lock the
machine up . blue screens , fatal errors and a kernel 32 fault whatever that
is meant I had to reset the PC.
I took the plunge and uninstalled GPL and its Sierra folders, reinstalled
it and found to my amazement that my times on a scarlet type hill track
(ahem!) were down by 4 seconds and very near Clark's record. Now this has
NEVER happened to me. I actually qualified pole in some of the the races
where I used to be positioned in the back few.
However, still the game won't shut down properly, and I attempted to get
on VROC last night to see if I was any faster on an online race but the sim
itself would not start..
Any suggestions to help me avercome my problems would be extremley welcome
