After seeing a post about the inclusion of the Bathurst track for GPL
I dusted of my copy of GPL.

However I have a problem which I can solve

My display will only seem to allow me to play in 640 x 480. In a
higher resolution the screnn divides in four and is full of static.

I am sure I used to play this sim in 1024 x 768, but I cant remember
what I had to do.

the pc is a P111 600
128 Ram
Ndivia Geforce DDR 32 meg vidieo card (with latest drivers)

I installed the 1.021 patch and the open GL
direct x is instaled

Can any please suggest if there is any fixes? was it patched for
certain video cards etc, or am I missing something simple.

Many thanks

From what I see the add-ons looks faboulous, I think I will be back
with a vengewnce if I can make the resolution work .

thanks in advance

Glenn

DirectX on your system or the Direct3D rasterizer from Papyrus ?

Just ditch the OpenGL and go D3D instead. Should solve the problem.

Disclamer : I'm not a Nvidia owner, so if there is a known driver
issue that fixes this, I'm sorry :)

try changing color depth 32bit->24bit->16bit.
I got similar strange screen dividing effects on various color depths

I dont believe ittook me so long to get back to GPL, however....
