Nope. It ain't fixed in 1.2 either. The Controller Calibration Lockups,
that is :(
Has _anyone_ figured out a way to stop this?
My last install this weekend took me SEVEN restarts (via the reset switch)
of the computer because the system would lock up HARD during controller
calibration. I, nor my Registry, appreciates this :)
What _is_ it with Papyrus and it's Joystick drivers. N2 and GPL both have
controller 'funkyness' that drives you nuts!

Plus, this is a very common complaint.
It ain't just my system.
Thanks, though :)
I still say Papy's Joystick drivers suck. They have been causing us
problems for years.

I can't tell. Where do you look?
I am running v2.07 of the drivers. That is the last version I will install
because 3dfx removed the "Disable Monster 3D II Direct3D Support" option
from later versions, a blatant political move IMHO.
I do recall having this problem thruout various versions, though...

Why is it that only GPL has a problem with this?
Thanks :)

To the following, instead:
1. Install GPL and patch up as necessary.
2. Launch GPL.
3. Put in your name and select your team/car.
4. When the controller calibration screen appears, IMMEDIATELY hit return
to close it out. Don't wait too long as your system will freeze if you have
the controller cal freeze problem.
5. Do not set any options at this time.
6. Start up a race as normal.
7. When you are at the race screen for the particular race you have
selected, mash the options button.
8. Calibrate your controller, do the assignments, and set other options as
necessary.
9. Go racing :)

Then you'll discover what a lot of the hub-bub is about :)
Hint - It don't work :(
Granted, this was a MUCH bigger issue when NROS was alive, since we had to
use Nascar Racing 2, and it was a DOS based game that did not support
Digital Controllers at all.
I was finally able to take the MSFFW out of the box.
Frankly, I'd just a soon put the old TMPro back on and still have NROS. The
current way of multi-player of N3 sucks, IMHO.
