by Andreas Morit » Tue, 16 Oct 2001 05:31:29

Hello

I have tried all, but i cant drive clearly.
It doesnt matter if i have my Ferrari wheel connected or if i try to play
with
keys the programm runs evrey 2 sek slow.
When i will go to left, one second later the car react. I dont know whats
the problem.
The same for the other direction or for gas or brake.  The graphic also runs
with slowdowns.
Win XP eventually  ?   But with these handicap i cant drive, only nice
crashes are the result.

But i tried Collin McRae 2, and there is no problem.

System:
WIN XP
P3 600E Coppermine, 392 MB RAM , GeForce 256
USB Wheel Guillemot (Ferrari)

Hope you understand my english.

Any solutions ?

Had the same problem.  It took like 3 hours tweaking and some helpful hints
from this group but it turned out to be a video card driver issue.  I had
the steering lag you describe until I turned off the steering help.  Then it
got better but the game in general sucked ass.

The final solution was to go degrade my video driver to the Detonator 3
12.41 drivers.  After that..the game worked like a charm including all video
and sound issues.
