with offline racing. The frame rate will be pegged at 36 fps, then for a few seconds
go down to almost nothing. The PC is: 1.4GHz Athlon, GeForce2 GTS 32M, 1G SDRAM, SB
Live!, running Windows 2000 Professional + sp2, nvidia driver 12.90.
In GPL I use the OpenGL driver. The latest GPL directx patch gives me page faults
and a reboot every time I exit GPL. OpenGL has always been the best for me anyway -
better frame rates and better image quality.
My core.ini has the usual tweaks (e.g. disable_ipx = 1 disable_modem = 1
disable_network = 1 ) and it is included at the end of this post.
Help! Any other ideas to fix the stuttering problem? I never used to have it, and I
don't know exactly what change has caused it.
Keith.
