Hey Paul, try the Open GL patch.  You can get it at www.papy.com

Later,
Russ

OK, searched the archives top to bottom and cannot find anyone with this
problem.

Setup:
Anthalon 650, latest BIOS, latest AGP drivers
GeForce 256 DDR (Annihilator Pro), tried 3.68, 5.08 Drivers
GPL 1.2, OpenGL beta 2
WMFF (works great)

Software mode works fine, just ugly. Goes OK speed
Other 3-D games work (Half-Life in OpenGL mode, NFS:HS, Mobil-1
[RC-2000]) excellent.

GPL, OTOH, gives me about 5-10 fps when I am lucky. Loading a menu takes
15 seconds or more. It is absolutely dog slow. Starting a race takes
over a minute (switching to full screen in-car mode). Played with
mirrors setting, etc. Nothing seems to make it go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; I hate rebooting my
K6-350/Voodoo3 into Win98 just to play GPL; this machine should do at
least as well.

Oh: Anybody tried a Glide wrapper? Maybe that is the answer, but I doubt
it...

Alas, that is with the Open GL patch. Frame rates are much better in s/w
mode...but ugly and low res. Just not the same experience.

Hey Paul,

Someone suggested that setting the AGP speed to 1/1 in the BIOS
would solve this problem. It's a tip you can find on the Creative Labs
FAQ....
