GPL online timing problems

by Brook Halvorso » Wed, 21 Jul 1999 04:00:00

After getting 1.1 to work properly, I tried racing online and have been
having timing problems.  It only happens online.  Driving around a track the
sim seems to abruptly speed up or slow down randomly.  It pretty much always
sends me into a spin or off the track unless it is on a straight.  It's
almost like the inverse of warp -- instead of other people jumping around
the track randomly, I'm the one jumping aroundWhen I watch the clock in the
pit, it jumps around a lot, and every time I get the green to go to the
starting grid I'm the only one there, and I'm the only one when the flag
drops ( I don't know if this is related, but I assume it is).  Does anyone
else have this problem?  I couldn't find any answers on the VROC help page.
Maybe this is related to the timing problem that a second patch is rumored
to try to fix???

I'm running a p2 266, 128mb, herc thriller 8mb, 56k v90, nascar pro through
my soundcard, ????

Thanks,  Brook

In your core.ini file set sync_method=0 and clock_adj_delay=8.

If you don't have a core.ini file in your GPL folder copy the core.ini.sample
file to core.ini -- you'll probably have to use DOS to do this.  Just find and
change the values.
