GPL sound in win 98 - HELP!

by Stev » Tue, 01 Sep 1998 04:00:00

First, the only differences between my system since when it did work and now
are win98 and a Diamond MonsterSound.

The sounds are garbled, BUT, before you all hastily reply telling me to
reduce the number of sound effects, I know about this, I have it down to 3
(as low as it will go) and the sounds still come out garbled. The game is
also running REALLY badly (i.e. very choppy framerates) which I believe is
related to the sound issue. Can anybody help me with my problem?

Thanks for any (preferably useful :)) replies

Hi Steve,
I had the same problem, then I tried this:-

For all you guys/girls who has problems with running the GPL demo under
Windows 98!!
This is how it WILL work under Windows 98,...............for me it did!!!

You should first uninstall it completely from your system.
Then you should unzip the gpldemo.exe with winzip to x:\gpl  (X stand for your
HD!!)
After that replace wininet.dll from x:\gpl to x:\gpl\program
The next thing to do is to create a x:\gpl\program\controls dir
Then make x:\gpl\program  otions.ini writeable

Now the next thin to do is to start te game  from x:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
and configure you joystick or wheel,and adjust the other options to your
personal wishes
after that exit the game.......... don't go driving yet!!!

After that edit x:\gpl\program\options.ini go to
line 35 and change it into lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll  (You will get No
3DFX textures if you don't!!)

Copy the options.ini to x:\gpl\program\controls and make options.ini read only
again
Now you can start the game,...and everything works fine under Windows 98!!

What about using a Rendition card instead of 3dfx.
My GPL worked in Win95, I had to reinstall it with Win98 and now it
locks up when I start moving the car and the sound is all screeches.
