Thats ok if the files in your win/sys are equal or later than the ones
in the game dir, but it seems that in most cases with F1 racing they are
not. The game calls for a vxd of v1.2 and finds v1.1 in win/sys and wont
run. Why remove a later type file and replace it with an earlier
version? Seems backwards to me and to others by the sounds of it.

French.

Apparently you need to copy the files

fxmme.vxd
glide2x.dll

from the directory where you installed f1ubi
to your windows/system directory. The game
reads your windows/system first, and thus does
not know that the correct version is in the
game directory.

I did this and all is well.

Bob

What does this mean? If the Ubi F1 directory has _newer_ versions of
those said files, then why isn't it using them instead of the older
versions in the system directory? Sounds backwards to me...

In other words, if it is going to use the files from system directory
anyway, instead of the same (but different version) files in the
Ubi F1 directory, why did they include those two files (fxmemmap.vxd
and glide2x.dll) with the game in the first place?

Anyway, I first got the "wrong vxd version" error, but when I deleted
those two files from the UBI F1 directory, the demo worked fine.
It is now using those two files from the system directory, previously
it tried to use the same files which are in the UBI F1 directory.

I finally finished downloading F1RS
But now even after moving the files to windows/system, I get the error
message

"_GlideInitEnvironment: glide2x.dll expected VoodooGraphics, none
detected"

But they are most definitely in the windows system dir
Did i miss something or does it not work with Voodoo RUSH?

I thought you need to have the 3D card?? I downloaded Glide too but with no 3D
card, I cannot even get to play....
