N3 Problem

by Ford 5 » Wed, 29 Sep 1999 04:00:00

Hi guys, just picked up N3 today, and noticed one glitch. When I get ready to
go into a race, you hear the sounds but once it comes on the screen, it jerks a
lot causing me to crash sometimes, but after about 20 secs. to a minute, it
smoothes out. Could you guys help me figure out what this problem is?

Here's the specs of my system:


64 MB Samsung PC100 RAM
8.4 gig Maxtor HD
56.6 Diamond SupraMax Modem
Creative RivaTNT 16 MB PCI Video
Creative 48X CD-ROM Drive
Soundblaster Live! Value w/Cambridge 4 point surround speaker set.
Running Win98 (First Edition)

Running 800X600 resolution on 14" Packard Bell Monitor with 32-bit color.

Please try to help with this problem as I think N3 is awesome!!!

Just guessing here, but is your hard drive working overtime during that
first few secs. ??
If so I wonder if you have your virtual mem. set high enough. Could be that
Windows is caching your game. Seems your have plenty of everything except I
would go for more RAM. It's cheap enough these days.

I have an Asus board with 128 Mb RAM. Everything else the same and have no
problems at all.

I dont know exactly what the answer is but
but you look a little short on RAM.

It takes somet to run W98 then N3.

It sounds like your drive is swapping memory around. Try more RAM.
Also, try changing video to 16-bit to see if that helps before you go for more RAM.

I run 64Mb with 16 bit color and very little swapping at all. (and that's on a 233Mhz PC
with all options on!)

You can also read the ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES in the readme.txt
file in the \Nascar3 folder. It describes a delay setting that may
help.
