Screamer2 slow motion problem

by John Hartridg » Wed, 21 May 1997 04:00:00

I have an occasional problem with Screamer2 where it
suddenly goes into slow motion for the rest of the race.
I don't mean it goes a little bit slower because of a lot of
graphics changing - it goes to about 1 frame every 10-15
seconds !!  It happened once when I was close to the finish
and let it finish the race (took about 15 minutes).  When I
re-ran the race it was fine.  Usually this happens too far from
the finish and I need to reset the machine.  It seems
completely random where it will happen.  The frame rate
is fine before this problem strikes.

Any one else have this problem, or have any clues as to why
it might happen ?

Some details :-

Any track in Arcade mode.  Any car.  I run at 640x480 256 colours.
Full install, no CD music.

PC is Cyrix P166+, 16Mbyte Ram, Cirrus Logic 5446 1Mbyte,
Audio Excel 309 sound card (Sound Blaster compatible),
G-Force flight yoke as steering wheel.

Thanks for any help.

John
