Hello Sim Racers
I have a weird problem for 3 weeks now

I used to play GPL from w98 & w2000 wihout any problems
But 3 weeks ago, gpl under W2000 started to go at 4x the
speed aproximatively.
IE at kyalami you can't pass the 3rd gear or it would be too fast
hehe

Well that was quite fun at start but now i ahve to switch back
to w98 to train and that really hurts as all my net stuff
is run under w2000 (FTP serever for ex)
Anyone got an idea? Or have experience the problem?
Several guys on my league runs GPL under w2000 wihout any problem

P III 700
Gforce 2 gts (6.31 driver)
SB LIVE Platinium (Live ware 3)
Gpl d3d...

This is the same answer I posted a week ago to a similar problem. The topic
was something like "help, my GPL is running in 2x speed" :)

Delete all references to papy*.sys with regedit.exe, search and delete the
files and reboot. N4-demo installs some not-good files over the gpl's files.
I don't seem to see any difference if these files are in your computer or
not... sot just delete them.

This has worked for me. The problem occured after installing and running N4.
Did you install N4 too?

Actually I was the one that posted "help, my gpl is running at 2x speed". I
tried deleting the files that were papy*.sys and it did not work for me. I
had to reinstall gpl. It wasnt too musch of a hastle. I saved my replay,
player, and track directories and after I reinstalled, I just copied those
files over the top. Just make sure you get all the patches you need.

Hi,

What directx version ?

I had GPL running fine on Windows 2000 Service pack 1, with the game
compatibility fixes.

- Windows 2000 service pack 1 , plus (game) hotfixes from
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com .
- Directx 8 (7 was just as good)
- Nvidia 6.47 (higher versions mess up loading screens in gpl)
- Soundblaster Live ( Standard win2000 wdm driver, creative drivers gave
me stuttering sound :-(, no eax, but i don't care much about that)
- GPL d3d7 patch, with appropiate settings in core.ini (below)

On a Athlon 850 with Geforce2 MX.

[ Int Profile Values ]
value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0
value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0
value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0
value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0
value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0
value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0
value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0

[ Direct3D7 ]
D3DDevice = 0
TossHighestMip = 0
TrilinearFiltering = 1
DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1
DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1
DirectMirrorRendering = 1
DisableZBuffer = 0


i cannot check it. experiment ...
This was running fine, albeit a little slower then win9x ....
You might not get lucky with other games though.

Good luck,
           Remco.
