My fps in OpenGL in testing are lower than D3D, but better than D3D in AI
races.
It says in the patch read me that they made some changes with the AI car
graphics. Have they done something with those cars that is now lowering the
fps in D3D?

my fps are way down, even in testing, with the new patch. the sound is
freaking fabulous. i've uninstalled and reinstalled.... running without the
patch, frame rates consistantly over 33 at most bogged points and usually in
the 40's.
with the patch 20's and sometimes down to 18. but my my my doesn't it sound
good?!
i'm with david, what happened with the graphics and is there a way to get a
happy medium between the two... if it's just the fix for the sound dropping
the fps,,,,, i'll have to go with all the crackling, annoying as it may
be....
again, excellent job on the sound.
btw i just thought.... i never compared the ini files between the patch and
original install....anyone notice if there's something majorly (hehe)
different between the two....yeah, i'm lazy, two separate installs and don't
want to do it again....

god , i made the mistake of checking the sierra board to see if there was

there's no way i'll try to race online with everything off at 640X480 and
still getting below 30 fps....
what in the world? am i being forced to upgrade before the new stuff is
younger that 2 years? that's what it appears.
this sux.

thnx,

But since opengl has been updated to match the texture compression with
d3d, why not try that? I suspect the opengl performance will be very close
to any previous level.

been wondering about that my own self. open gl works on this card... kyro
(i know i know! but getting near 50 fps has been beautiful for me in n2k
with medium most things!) but when i try the configure thingie with opengl,
the configuration just locks up and doesn't respond...
any ideas on that? the hercules web site is down or i'd be trying to find
the faq on that. ay yi yi. no entiendo.
hey, i just upgraded from this last year from a thriller for gpl and voodoo
2 for n3. guess i just need to spend more than 15 bucks for my next video
card..... so, i hope i'm not coming across as whining or anything... just
wondering what the hell happened?
thnx for staying up this late?

"reverend rob"
but when i try the configure thingie with opengl,
That's kinda odd, since N2002 has been out now for a couple of months?(I
have very little grasp of past time...2 weeks could be 2 months or even 6
months to me...very difficult when somebody asks me a question about an
event in the not-to-distant past)
Anyhow....this is the second thread now posting about the opengl config
NOT working. I'm curious. So I'll cover the basics. I have found if I
simply re-do the current settings, then the whole process is done in a
flash...no black screen, no text about finding fast texture memory etc. So
try this...configure n2002 first for D3d, then choose opengl and try again.
or try changing your screen resolution, anything to convince the program NOT
to skip the testing.
