F1 2000 - Asus AGP-V3800U problems

by Johan Wallhe » Thu, 06 Apr 2000 04:00:00

Hi,

I just can not get F1 2000 to run on my PC with a 32 MB Asus AGP-V3800U
(with a TNT RIVA 2 CPU) .
The PC is a Pentium III 450 MHz with 128 MB RAM and a Soundblaster LIVE.

The graphics really suck when running with Direct3D !
No track side objects at all, and very few colors.
Very strange since older games, such as Sports Car GT and STCC are
running perfectly, with beautiful fast graphics.
In software rendering mode the resolution is worse but the coloring is
much better and even the detail is better.

I am using the latest released driver from Asus, version 2.25, currently
but have also tried the reference drivers from nVidia, with the same
result.

Can somebody verify that the AGP-V3800U is working in F1 2000 for them ?
Some hints where the problem is would also help improve my mood.

Regards,
Johan

I was getting fairly good framerates with my P2-450 at 800x600.
I had the mirrors on but all of the other mirror options off. I was also
drawing only 6 other cars, and was racing full fields. I maxed my
***pit graphics and the other car graphics, and set smoke
dust and skidmarks to low. I have to try fraps but the framerate
was OK as far as i could tell.

In fact F1RS is removed :-0

I have an Asus P5A motherboard with ATI Rage IIc card, 128Mb RAM and
this game is just junk for me.  NO 3d at all, can only play it in
software mode.

Correct. If you are dumb enough to try the game without a quality
3D card the game would be junk.

DUH.
