BGN Track Pack Problems

by Christopher J. Roger » Thu, 06 Nov 1997 04:00:00

I've just purchased the BGN track pack and am having frame rate
problems.  For some reason it it SUPER choppy around the pit area when
I'm running in W95.  It was not nearly as bad in W95 before.  Has anyone
else had this problem?
  Also, the game runs MUCH smoother in DOS however, ever since I got the
sim I get strange lock-ups at random times while racing in DOS (VERY
FRUSTRATING)!  Any suggestions?

Chris, you need to supply a lot more info if you want help :) sounds
like a possible hardware problem, what is your machine, video card etc,
etc.

I'm running a regular Intel P200 with 32 megs, a Screamin 3D card and I
have all the latest patches installed.  Help!

BGN Track Pack Problems

Hey Chris, I'm running a P200 with Sierra 3D video card and 64 megs of
mem. and I had the same problem. I use the renddma.bat file to load
nascar2. I changed it to load 4 bit graphics instead of the normal 8
bit.
It read before:  nasrend -dma  %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
now it reads : nasrend -dma -4 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
I can not tell a difference graphic wise, but the game has smoothed
out. I run with everything on and paint the entire field. Hope this
helps.
Later.
Tony
