PROBLEM SOVED...

GET THE NEW DETONATOR 2.08 drivers over a www.nvidia.com and your
problems are solved.....well almost...

You still have to drive BEHIND the car otherwise your mirrors will
flash and your game will lock-up before you get out of the pit area.

Even behind the car the game kicks ass at 1600x1200 at constant 34fps.

I've been driving GPL for a week now using CL-TNT2-Ultra, in-car view,
beautiful frame rate and no lock ups. I'm using Nvidia 1.88 drivers.

Is that unusual? Shouldn't I be able to do that?

Cheers!

I have Xentor 32 TNT2 ultra 32b video card with manufacturers drivers and
300 PII. First when I tried to run GPL in OPenGL mode I got framerate close
to 15-20 so the game was impossible to run and ***er just freezed in front
of me.
So I started to mess around with core.ini and at OPEN GL section where is
line"mirros every" I changed the number from 1 to 5, 10 and 20 and found out
that with number one fps is still 15-20 but with higher numbers in "mirrors
every" I got fps around 30-37 while running on 1024x786 and even with higher
resolutions.
I actually don't even know what I did, but sure does the job for me.Go to
try those new drivers though.

Can't speak for the CL card - all i know is that using a Viper770 with
any drivers OTHER than the new 208 version each menu takes 3-8 minutes
to navigate through when you click the green light.  Then it finally
locks up when you start the race rebooting your computer to 640x480.

The new 208 drivers fixes all that but the in-car mirrors still flash
and cause the game to freeze after 10-20 seconds of gameplay.
