GPL Demo problem

by kevin Barne » Mon, 23 Jan 2006 20:30:51

I previously hed GPL on my PC and have recently got a lap topdue to my pc
being in storage due to moving. I decided i wanted to do a few laps and see
how it looked on my lap top. I have loaded the demo but for some reason it
is not running properly. Everything seems to be in slowmotion. Any one know
why this might be. Ami right in believing the cpu speed fix is built into
the demo or could it be this I have a pentium M 1.73 with 512 ram and gee
force go 6800 card which should all be more than enough. Any help greatly
appreciated

Cpu fix keeps the game from running in hyper mode or crashing. It slows
the game down on machines that are two fast for the orginal version.

The updated GPL2004 demo should work...

Also turn off all powersaving features (including the stuff that lets the
CPU slow down if there's little activity) on the laptop.

You might have the problem because of Intel Speedstep. There is a patch but
unfortunately I dont remember its name.

You should use Google. Google with the two words "gpl" and "speedstep" gave
me all you need.
