Hi !

I just myself a new dream machine , P200 MMX . and rushed home
to play GP2. everythings working fine , all graphics turned on and still
running 24+ frames. Then things start to get Weird !!, every now and then
the game allmost completely stops for 2 seconds or so, the frames getting
VERY jerky, then continues like nothing happened (except I usually ends up
in
the gravel)

Has any one experienced the same kind of problem ....???

Help needed

=46rom now on Windoze will be ended as soon as you start GP2, so it won't=
 be in
the way of PC-performance. When you quit GP2, Windoze will start itself a=
gain.

Oh, and BTW : This has nothing to do with GP2 as is.
              It's purely a Windoze 95 thing. This Win95 timing-shit happ=
ens to
              any program.

Hope this helps,

Wow...P200, P100, you guys are lucky/rich.....I am still humping a P60.
Why 'spoil' your potencial performance with GP2/Nascar etc. by dragging
an anchor...W95. Go DOS. Improve your power to weight ratio, have fun.

Its not a system problem, its a software problem and its happened to
everybody. Sounds like you got your hope up like all the rest of us!
I feel sorry for ya' but Microprose dosent!  ":>)

Whoa! 24+fps What graphics card is this? My 200MMX with 3D Blaster is
comfortable at about 18-19 fps with some stuff off in the mirrors at
most circuits. I thought that maybe graphics cards wouldn't make a
difference in GP2. Could any P200 users kindly inform what kind of fps
you're getting. I am using the f22 vesa fix utility for the Verite chips
as well.

Stanley, I'm getting 25.6+ with everything turned on but clouds
on mine! I'm using and STB 128 Lightspeed and have the MB over-clocked
to 75mhz on the bus to end up with 225 mhz. I haven't bothered to try
going faster with the bus.

Suggestion: are you running under Win95? In that case it might be that your
screensaver gets into action or something...

If you in a "graphics' hungry enviroment, i.e. Monico w/ full detail on
and cars in front of you
even a p200 will ***easily with GP2. Make sure what ever the
estimated frame rate the menu tells you,
that you take it down manually 2 or 3 notches. If estimated framerate
tells you 25, manually click down
to 22 or 23. This makes a difference in the framerate speed.
Hope that helps.
