I run a 350 processor and a voodoo 2 card but don't seem to get over 12 fps
when in car (even with all the details off)...Nintendo view goes up to
36....which is nice.
TIA

Before you buy.
I do have a 3dfx, Voodoo 2 card and I have it selected in the GPL (yes I did
mean GPL) menu....where it the game is using it seems in doubt.
I have 128 RAM so, I think you'll agree so shortage there.
Like I said , the higher the resolution the higher the frame rate and
viewing from outside the***pit it runs at 36 fps...it's only in-car that
the FR goes through the floor. I have switched of everything and reduced the
AI to six....very slight improvement....it nearly went up to
14....wow.....and, finally, it's not much better if I run solo.
I also downloaded a patch from Alison Hine but that made little difference.
I have been playing this game for all of 4 days and think it is the dogs
bollocks....just the FR that is a pain.
Thanks guys.

Biggest problem with racing on-line in chase view is that you lose
your mirrors and that's pretty important info if you plan on being a
thoughtful, curteous racer against other humans. I've done chase view
on-line when I simply could not achieve an acceptable FPS at a
particular track (I'm "hardware challenged" at present) and simply
took great care to listen for the sound of another car behind me.
Considering my rather tepid driving skills at present, I just would
hold my line entering a straightaway and accelerate gradually so that
they could pass me.
If you *are* good and want to dice wheel-to-wheel then chase view with
no mirrors is going to be extremely challenging to do well.
As far as your problem goes, it sounds a bit odd. You do indeed have
3dfx selected in your graphics options? Be sure and set your mirrors
to "cars only" as this hammers the FPS. In fact, I think it's why
chase view is so much faster. Less CPU horsepower is required. Also,
add a file called Glide.Ini to your GPL directory and add the
following:
Mirror Frequency=6
The number specifies how many frames between updates to your mirrors
and should pep up your FPS when in car. From what I've heard and
experienced myself, turning on all the checkboxes only has about a 2
FPS impact, but moving the detail slider off of full left has a far
greater impact on FPS.
