New Drivers=No acceleration?

by TlgtrPr » Thu, 20 Sep 2001 23:04:35

I recently updated sound and video drivers (in WIN98) and no I can't keep up
with anybody (NASCAR 99 and F1 2000)!!  I had difficulty set so as to be
competitive without always winning.  Now I can't even keep up.  Does anybody
know what I did and have an idea how to fix it?  ANY idea's or help
appreciated...

(I am going to try and find the old drivers again and could try to reinstall?)

i am not sure just what has happened...

updated 3dfx and yamaha sound card to most current...using sidewinder precision
wheel...direct x newest version-8.something...(don't understand "mobo")

don't know if i am slower or everbody else is faster...but before i could run
with the pack at least...now they just go on by and i fall further and further
behind...suppose it could be the controller--but i tried with wheel and
joystick with the same results...

am going to try older drivers and see if that works...

A likely option is thatit's ever so slightly slowing your frame rate. If
that happenes it might not be overly noticable but 5 fps or so can slow a
sim to the point where your reactions are delayed....
Maybe.....

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried re-calibrating your controller?

did uninstall and re install controller software...no improvement in NC99 or F1
2000...

tried SCGT and it SEEMS to be better than the others...was able to stay with
pack (til i missed a corner)...might just be older games...was late by
then...will have to test more...
