GPL- Problem with installing on new computer

by A. Ingra » Tue, 05 Jun 2001 14:56:49

Hello fellow GPL'rs. I have a problem I'm sure someone can help me with. I
have a new computer that I'm trying to load GPL onto. I installed the game
from the CD, ran patch 1, then patch 2, then the 3D patch. I then took my
burned copy of GPL from my old computer and copied and pasted into the new
box. I removed the "read only" attributes from all files. I don't have my
wheel hooked up yet but when I start GPL it looks great but the frame rate
is 1 to 2 fps! New computer is P4 1.5Mhz, Asus P4Tmobo, 256 Mgs ram, Elsa
Geforce2 Ultra. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

Does your new system have the same video card as the old one?  Make sure the
new install actually *sees* the 3D card.  It sounds like it's running in
software mode...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Yes it does. It is in D3D  not software mode.

Have you downloaded the fast processor patch from Papy's website?

Ok, then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Thanks Phil and Eldred. I installed the fast CPU patch and that was it! I
thought it only worked on 1.7's and above. Phew! I was worried there for a
minute. Thank you so much, Alastair.
