f1rs and lan play performance problem

by dean » Mon, 05 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Hi, me and 2 mates linked up our computers this weekend for a 3 player
racing session on f1rs across a lan connection and it was awesome fun but
there was one problem. On my computer which is a p166, 3dfx, 64MB machine
all the cars in the race, thats computer and human were stuttering along as
if the information on where they should be on the track was not been
updated enough, ie like lag although this had no effect on my car. Anyway
this was only happening on my computer and I wondered whether it might a
win95 joystick polling problem that was causing this as the other players
were using keyboard while I was using a steering whell and pedals, if
anyone can give me an idea of what the problem is it would be much
appreciated. By the way it did not matter who hosted the game.
Also is there anyway you can play grand prix mode in multiplayer, I could
only get it to play in single race mode which means we can't do a
qualifying session etc... All other modes had the inaccessable icon on
them.

Thanks

Dean
