gpl and framerates on Multiplayer- Is there a fix?

by Kurt Steinboc » Fri, 27 Aug 1999 04:00:00

There are many things you can do -- including trying GPL SpyBoy -- to try
and get your rate up.  First, though, go back to Alison's VROC site and
(sorry) read virtually everything.  This on-line stuff is tricky business,
and a technology in evolution.  But you'll find help there.

Regards,

Kurt

42 fps is too high since GPL is limited to 36fps. You seem to be experiencing
the clock bug.  Try setting your sync mode to 0 in your core.ini file.  Set the
clock_adj_delay to 8 or 12.  Eric Cote at http://www.simracingmag.com found IRQ
conflicts to be his problem.  If your using a cable modem or ADSL to connect to
the internet, try disabling your modem from the Control Panel / System program.
