F1RS problem

by Ian Parke » Thu, 09 Jul 1998 04:00:00

Hi, a friend of mine has just bought a PII 300mhz, it has 32MB SDRAM, ATI
rage 4MB video, soundblasterAWE16 and is using an Intel processor and
running Win 95 with MS plus. The problem is that the game crashes just after
it reaches the starting grid. The computer locks up solid. No Ctrl-Alt-Del
,we have tried different config settings, graphics etc. any ideas gratefully
accepted.

Thanks in advance
Ian P

PS . GPL , GP2 and N2 work fine , the problem is with F1RS only.

I had this problem when my 3dfx card overheated. Dunno if you're
experiencing the same thing though since you're not using a 3dfx board.

Don't know if this helps any, but when I installed F1RS last time it
"updated" some of my DX5 items into older, non supported versions
(which effectively terminated RB2 and kept me swearing for a full half
an hour). So check your DX5 components.

Thanks to everyone who replied , We eventually got it working by
reinstalling F1RS then DX 5.2 then patch 1.09 the game flies now.  I think
it maybe time to upgrade from my P166MMX to a PII 400. GPL is really smooth
on my friend's PII 300 with 32 MB, I'm still sruggling in the 1;14's on my
PC , but maybe I'm just not very good.
