I just got the patch and I have had no drop in FPS at all.
In fact I can't find anything wrong with the patch. My Voodoo 3 now works
properly with it and the force feedback is amazing.

I don't play GPL online, therfore my core.ini contains only the following:

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1

My system is as follows:

PII 400 (o'cd to 450)
Abit BH6 (rev 1.0)
128MB PC100 Ram
IBM 8.4 Gb HDD
Voodoo 3 3000
Logitech F Force USB
CL Soudblaster PCI 64

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I tried the GPL 1.1 patch yesterday night for the first time in an
online game and I have to say that it was the best online racing
experience I ever had!! It was so close to racing on a LAN,
I was simply delited. Now, of course, I can't say if the great
performance was due to the patch or just because I had a
phemomenal connection to the server ( but don't think so, the
server was in the US and I am in Germany).
I couldn't descern any problems with the patch, although I
haven't tried it much, yet.

Any other GPL'ers who had an improved online experience
or was it just me? I read so many negative posts here, weird,
I had none of the problems. Even reinstalling the old sound
and car patches gave no (great) problems.

Ditto.

I tried it at a host where I've had a lot of races, and, with V1.0, another racer connecting with a bad connection, would make my game choppy. Now, with V1.1 gameplay was smooth throughout. I spent the race dicing with a Fin (I'm in Belgium, host: west coast US) and he was solid as a rock (position wise.... he cracked in the end ;-)).

Very happy with the patch so far and I'm off to the shop on Monday morning to get a FF wheel!!!

My V3 seems to be working fine, however the menu screens are still small.
Is that normal with the V3 or should the patch have corrected this?

Are you using George Smiley's glidewrapper?  If so, you need to disable
the GPL Overide in the glide.ini file.

I presume you're still using the Banshee/V3 patch.

I actually re-installed GPL from sctratch before applying the patch because
I knew that the old 3rd party patches may be incompatible.

The menus are full screen and the game is 1024 x 768.

Try a clean installation of GPL.

Good Luck
