I set it to 8.  The setting is in core.ini.  Let's just keep our fingers
crossed
that Sierra makes a better opengl patch for GPL.  Sierra blames the TNT
drivers but what are they saying - this thing couldn't be written to run
well
on TNT?  I must admit I bought a glide-only game so I guess I can
complain only so loudly.

mirrorsevery to 4 but not sure where to set it?

Thanks,

I have a CL TNT card and a 3dfx Voodoo Card and with the "mirrorupdate" set
to 8 the TNT card performs with a framerate which is smooth as silk and the
picture is outstanding compared to the Voodoo card.
My system is running at 504MHz though :-)

Where can the Open GL patch be found?  It isn't on the Sierra page.....

Cut and paste this into your core.ini file using Notepad. If core.ini
is not there (in your GPL directory), create it.

[ Int Profile Values ]
value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0                ; do not change
value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0                  ; do not change
value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0                  ; do not change

[ OpenGL ]
TossHighestMip = 0                              ;
MipFiltering = 3                                ;
MirrorsEvery = 8                                ;

You can change the 8 in a 4 to give that a try.

This is discussed in the readme file that comes
with the openGl beta patch to GPL.

Hi Dave !
I use 8 instead to get better performance, but the mirrors are almost
useless in online racing. I got so pissed that i got i pair of V2`s.
Open core.ini and add the following lines.

[ OpenGL ]
TossHighestMip = 0                       ;
MipFiltering = 4                               ;
MirrorsEvery = 8                             ;
