I have recently obtained the GPL demo (finally, after upgrading!) everyone's
raving about, and it looks great! The menus, that is. I am having trouble
getting the textures to appear properly, and the game runs dreadfully slowly
(please see system specs further down this message). The Monster 3D II is
detected fine (and runs great with F1RS - which I also adore after the
upgrade!), but the textures have a weird transparency to them. If I turn
off the textures, it looks okay (no transparencies), but still runs slow. I
noticed in the README.TXT, there is mention of a patch to affect Voodoo 2
owners, but have yet to find anything - not even a FAQ about the demo.
Also, my sound is corrupt, as it sounds like it's not using the correct
driver for the device; the engine sounds like sputtering radio static, there
is no other sound (like skidding, gearshifts, etc.) and then sound quits
altogether (the sound card type - something like DirectSound - is greyed out
in the Sound Options of GPL). But everything is set perfectly.
Could someone please help me out? I'm really anxious to play this...!
System Specs:
AMD K6 266MHz (no overclocking - yet)
32MB 100MHz SDRAM
Diamond Monster 3D II (using the latest drivers)
Matrox Mystique 220 4MB (also using the latest drivers)
Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PnP (Uses DirectSound on most recent games)
ThrustMaster GP1 Wheel & Paddles
ThrustMaster ACM Gamecard
Windows 98 OEM Clean Install
Lots of thanks in advance for any assistance I can get!
