And it takes a second or 2 before the fps shows up, so don't press the
alt-f key frantically because the fps doesn't appear, like I did :-/

20 FPS average for me

by **Dave Henri** » Fri, 22 Feb 2002 09:43:27

with the GT mod and very low graphics...7 thats right 7 at the start.
But the good news is...after spinning a couple of times, the pack has a
chance to drive away and my fps jumps almost to the 30's.

Are you getting 7 after the patch? I posted yesterday that they changed the
car's .gen files in the patch and it killed my framerate. Easy to fix
though.

yes that is AFTER the patch...but remember, I only have a Piii 500 and a
V5 5500. Not the hottest ticket anymore. I get 30 to 35 when running solo
test laps. but still with very low graphic options. Long story about
burning Athlons keeps me stuck at this speed for a while yet.

Here's my post from yesterday. Make the changes and I'm sure your fps will
go up. All you changes is the numbers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ian,

My frame rates were terrible after installing the patch. I checked the
car.gen files and noticed they had been changed by the patch. I put my
numbers in and now the fps are back to normal.

Here they are:

<MAX> MeshFile=<1234>va.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0)
LODOut=(40.0)
<MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vb.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(40.0)
LODOut=(60.0)
<MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vc.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(60.0)
LODOut=(80.0)
<MAX> MeshFile=<1234>vd.MTS CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(80.0)
LODOut=(200.0)

If anybody else has the same problems then just use these (change each car's
.gen file in the vehicles folder) and you'll be ok.

Damn I forgot.

Those changes I gave only have an effect if you are running in max graphics.
Sorry.

hehe
one question tho...IF I'm driving a Viper, and make the changes there,
will it be noticable if I ONLY change the viper.car settings? Or will I
have to edit EVERY car file before performance increases.
I googled that message and printed it up btw..so I had it already and did
make the changes, but so far only to the viper file.

What will happen is only the other Vipers will be effected by the changes.
You need to change the .gen file for each type of car (maybe 5?).

I looked at the settings for the low, med, and high graphics and they are
probably fine as is. If you were to run on max and had the hp to do so, then
my settings will be better than what the patch set them to.

In other words, ignore my earlier post until you upgrade your CPU. :-)
