The game locks up 1 min after I start a race. I have the V3 2000, BH6 and Win95
osr/2.1. Thanks

I'm running MGPRS2 on an Abit BM6, Celeron 450A, Voodoo3 3000, MX300,
under Win 95 OSR2.1.  I'm using the 1.06 Glide patch.

Since I just upgraded my hardware I first used my old "dirty" install
of MGPRS2 without problems.  It had been patched sequentially since
last September, so I figured it was time for a fresh install to clean
things up.  I ran into some problems, but managed to work around all
of them.  The installation didn't recognize the Voodoo3 as a
Glide-capable card, so I was forced to install the Direct3D version.
I went ahead and applied the Glide 1.06 patch and now run the
mgprs_v.exe executable without problems.

(The D3D version didn't let me change resolutions above 640x480, but
the Glide version runs very well at 1024x768, so that's not a
problem).

I had consistent crashes until I changed my sound settings.  There
have been many reports of issues with Vortex2 cards, so I now disable
DirectSound Hardware acceleration in the Aureal control panel when I
run MGPRS2.  I also went ahead and changed the sound setting in
snd_cpa.ini from Unconditionnal=None to Unconditionnal=WAVX2.  Note I
run the latest (beta) Vortex2 drivers from Aureal, version 2030.

After installing the game service I had no problems running a bunch of
6-lap races online, though my local San Francisco server has nobody on
it--I had to use the Dusseldorf server!

Here's hoping UBISoft fix the Vortex2 sound problems!

Dtrader 1 ,
Got your e-mail saturday. Got my V3 3000 saturday ,
I decided to do a complete reformat and reload of
my C: drive as I had alot of remnants of previous
installs , drivers,garbage in the registry. MGPRS
works fine. Ran for about 15min yesterday without a
 hitch. I shudder to recomend a complete reformat &
reload to anyone (mine took 7 hours ) but I would
recomend getting rid of all older versions of Glide and
all old V2 drivers and registry garbage. I am also
running Win98... don't know if that has anything to do
with it ? But it does work with the drivers & Glide
versions that come with the card.

Good Luck !!
