I have gone down to 30fps from 36 since loading 1.1 and using force feed
back. a post said to use a fix on the VROC site which changes the mirror
frame rate this has improved back to 34/35 and is now playable again but
getting used to the mirrors stuttering is a bit strange. my system is PIII
450 with two STB Blackmagic voodoo two's in SLI mode. win 95. Does anyone
know if this is ok because I would have thought that if I'm having

machines.

Regards

Got an almost identical setup (I'm on Win98) and get solid 36fps apart from
on a full grid. Haven't tried that mirror patch yet... I might, just to see
if that would allow me to max out the resolution/detail :-)

What settings do you use in GPL? -Me: 640x480, detail slider at 50%,
everything but clouds and driver texture in forward view, no textures in
mirrors (I find them too distracting when textured), all effects on.

I do have to drop some stuff online. usually I turn off terrain texture,
crowds and skidmarks. If I still get slowdown around other cars, I turn off
car textures too.

Cheers,

Jan.

of 25fps.

Nothing wrong with your system, I get exactly the same numbers with those
setting as you without the mirror patch.

That being said, I found the 30fps quite playable, even on GP level. I've
gone back to the lower resolution though, I am a fps junkie.

Bob,

I have a AMD K6-2/350 & one Voodoo2. With the glide wrapper installed
and the mirror rate=3,I get 34-36 fps. And this is with FF.
