GPL demo help

by DobeMa » Mon, 13 Jul 1998 04:00:00

    I have just recently got my new computer and re-downloaded and installed
the GPL demo but I'm having problems playing it.  Everything works fine
EXCEPT two things;

1) Sound is coming through like digital distortion,
2) The gameplay is very fast, like it's running in fastforward

    Any ideas?  Here is the particulars;

    PII-300
    SB AWE 64
    Dimond Monster 1 3D

    Please help!

    TTYL

You didn't mention your version of Windows.

Are you running Windows 98?. In that case you have trouble running GPL demo

    Yup, I'm running W-98, and I also forgot to mention my 'regular' video
card, an ATI AGP 8 MEG card, I can't remember the name of it right now,
maybe At Play 98 or something like that.
    Is it generally accepted that GPL and Win 98 don't agree with each other
or is it on a case by case basis?

    Thanks again!

GPL demo and Win98 does not agree at all. I have it working, and this is how
I did it. I think this does not work for all systems, but it might be worth
a try.

First of all uninstall GPL if you have installed it normally
1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl using winzip. (Dont run the file)
2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program
3. Make c:\gpl\program\controls directory
4. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini writable
5. Start the game from c:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
6. Calibrate joystick/wheel. Exit program before "entering" the car
7. Copy options.ini from c:\gpl\program\controls to c:\gpl\program directory
8. edit c:\gpl\program\options.ini to reflect the 3dcard you use
    lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll (if you have 3dfx card)
9. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini read only.
10. Start the game. It should now be working I hope
Good luck
