SB Live, XP, GPL (Again)

by maximu » Sat, 27 Jul 2002 00:00:06

I have GPL running on a system with XP and SBLlive Gamer.

I do hav ethe static but I have found a way around it.  If i start a
race and I hear the staic I simply press F2 to go to replay and  let
it play a while.  Press ESC and the PAUSE to get the game going again
and viola no static.

Oddly enough I usually try to avoid that.

I get a similar problem on & off, and it seems to be connected to the
corrupted graphics problem with the gplea updated cars.

As long as I avoid having an eagle (or Ferrari or Honda) in view when I
enter the circuit or switch between replay & normal, the sound (& graphics)
are okay.

When I'm online I usually go to the pitlane camera before changing screens.
