Yet another Rally Trophy thread.

Just got this today (Only cost me �9[$13]) I've downloaded the patch from the site and installed that, I've tried running the game and can run the first 2 stages in Russia, but when I hit enter to take me to the next stage it crashes back to the desktop everytime. Also frame rates are a bit sluggish, I'm running 1024x768x32 no FSAA, using the creative EAX surround sound, all levels maxed. I can run F1 2001 at 1280x1024x32 with everything maxed and not get the slowdown I do here, is RT that more graphics intensive? My system specs are: Athlon 1.4 KT7A-Raid 256MB Crucial ram. Voodoo5 Win2K (SP2) SB Live 5.1 Any ideas, I've scanned through a few Rally Trophy threads, but hadn't seen anyone with this problem. Incidentally I had no problems at all configuring my controller like some people had, using a split axis. Heckler

Your best bet for a solution is Jowoods RT forum. Set the sound to 'miles fast'. Andi.

It could be the vodoo card, had lots of trouble with mine. What drivers are you using? I gave up and installed a geforce card. "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a7au82$qo6$[email hidden]...

Heck, RT's frame-rate slowdowns are wierd. You can be blasting along, great fps, and STUTT-STUTT-STUTT everything slows to a crawl, for no apparent reason, then just as mysteriously speeds up again in the middle of nowhere. It happens at the same point every time, so it's obviously a gfx bottleneck, but it doesn't seem to be dependent upon the density/complexity of the scenery. Rally Championship, which had a great frame rate *most* of the time came absolutely unglued when there was another car in the frame (which only happened with wheel-to-wheel multiplay, something the developers obviosuly didn't, um, develop). Give me consistency or give me...oh well, never mind. --Steve "Heckler ����" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a7asp0$ju2p9$[email hidden]... > Just got this today (Only cost me �9[$13]) > > I've downloaded the patch from the site and installed that, I've tried > running the game and can run the first 2 stages in Russia, but when I hit > enter to take me to the next stage it crashes back to the desktopeverytime. > > Also frame rates are a bit sluggish, I'm running 1024x768x32 no FSAA,using > the creative EAX surround sound, all levels maxed.

I gave up and installed a geforce card. Seems the problem was with the voodoo card and the patch. Turn off geometry assist for voodoo 3/4/5 cards. and I also manually installed the patch file by file. This seems to have cured the problem, I don't think the install worked properly the first time around. Heckler

Try the Arcade mode with max settings and opponents. That brings my Athlon XP 2100+ Radeon 8500 to it's knees. I don't think a 4 Ghz cpu could handle that! -Tim "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:xnam8.3479$8%[email hidden]... > Heck, > > RT's frame-rate slowdowns are wierd.
