I'm having trouble getting GPL to run on my TNT2-based system at work
(OpenGL patch). I've installed it, run the latest TNT2 drivers, and
selected OpenGL in GPL, but when I run the game it is a slide show
(literally, like one frame every 30-60 seconds).
Any suggestions?

OpenGL beta 2 patch.
Core.ini set to mirrors every 2 frames.
Running the 5.13 reference drivers for Win98 from www.reactorcritical.com
Set OpenGL settings to "Use Block Transfer" under the advanced NVidia
Properties (can't remember exactly where).
The system bogs down a bit during starts and really busy activity to sub
20FPS.....during races with details turned a bit down I get near the 36 FPS
maximum.
I would recommend the NVidia reference drivers (maybe even the 3.68 release
candidate drivers). Make sure you find out how to set the "Use Block
Transfer" option.

Sounds like more than a gpl problem. Even in software mode on a P90 I
saw better fps than that.
Can you get other games to run properly on this system ?
What's the processor ?
What else is running in the background ?
Do you have enough memory ?
What resolution ?

I believe it's an Ahtalon 700, though I'll have to double check.
Nothing.
128MB.
I tried 1024x768 and 800x600. Any suggestions are appreciated. We want
to try some racing on our LAN.

-open your win.ini file
-find the section [DrawDib]
-change the line DVA=0 to DVA=1
don't know what it does, but my TNT was working OK, then at some point
(probably when I installed a recent game demo) this line was added, and I
got 0.2 frames/sec. I changed it and now I'm back to racing GPL.

Where do I get the 2.08 drivers?
