I am playing it in 32-bit color at 1024x768.  My desktop is set at
1280x1024 in 32-bit color at the max refresh rate for my monitor
(75mhz).

It looks gorgeous and runs extremely smooth.  But I have only tried it
twice - both on Daytona.  1st time, it crashed to the desktop.  I
realized that I had my desktop set at 16-bit, and the game at 32 so I
chalked the crash up to that and changed my desktop to 32.  Restarted
Daytona and got further - but this time it froze, with the sound of
the engine running.  Had to reboot.

I thought my system was pretty stable.  Are there some things I should
try to get it to just run without a problem?  I have a friend coming
over tonight who can't wait to see N4 and I don't want him to see my
system crashing all the time with it <g>

System specs:

Athlon 700
256MB RAM (although the original is 128 PC-100, and then I added
another 128 of PC-133 from Crucial a few months ago)
Hercules GeForce Prophet 2 GTS Pro (64meg DDR) with Hercules 6.35
drivers
Direct X 8.0a
Win98SE
All CH Stick, throttle, pedals (not using those).

Shoot - I know I am forgetting some spec as usual :-)

Thanks,

Use 16-bit for both unless you have a monster of a system.

Marc.

Okay will try 16-bit OpenGL.  It is just so beautiful and fluid in
32-bit D3D.  Will also look for that TnL HAL option (it's in the game,
right?).

I think there is something up with the Daytona track and my system.  I
tried the Martinsdale track for about a half-hour last night after the
freeze ups and CTDs from Daytona.  Not a single lock-up or crash!

I always keep my drivers up to date.

Thanks Eric,

  No outside the game actually in the 3dsetup menu option.  In the pulldown
menu box.
