GPL FPS Problems, Let's gather some info, Ok?

Hi Michael,

Sorry but my ADSL connection is on all the time since it's actually
a network card, there's no way for me to "disable" it unless I totally
uninstall my network card in Windows.

Seeyas on the track.

>> Celeron300A at 464mhz
>> 128Meg RAM
>> Voodoo2
>> Logitech FF wheel
>> ADSL
>> Graphics settings set to VROC 1.1FAQ

>> 1.1 Results:
>> 36-37FPS no slowdowns

>> Also hosted a few 15 driver online races on VROC with great results
>> using Alison Hine's core.ini from

>> So far the 1.1 patch is a great add-on for me, loving that FF.

>> Seeyas on the track.

It worked Eric. I've run several races online without the problem showing
up. Just curious as to what would cause one person to have to use the old
settings when some use the new ones without trouble. Is it latency or
connection speed or something else?

Thanks for the help!

Scottie
