I just re-installed WinVROC and GPL, after doing a system upgrade and I
can't get into a race.
GPL was re-installed from a back-up (with all of my set-up,controller
and video settings, etc) -- not from the retail CD. However, it runs
just fine offline. It was installed to the default directory
(c:\sierra\gpl)
In WinVROC, I do get a race list. However, when entering a race, I get
a GPF and a hard system lock-up. I have tried resetting the GPL
directory from within WinVROC, by both typing it in, and by browsing to
it, but I still get the GPF.
My system is an Athlon XP1700+; 512 Megs RAM; Voodoo5 videocard; Windows
98SE; using a cable modem to connect to the internet.
Any help with this or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bert

Try installing GPL from the disc, then copying your directory over it.

I did a real quick try at this. Disabled FSAA and WinVROC found GPL and
started it up. I got a network error at the multi-player screen, but
I'd guess that's unrelated to this.
Gotta go to work, so I can't experiment now.
Thanks for the tip about the FSAA, but I'm sure that I had 2x FSAA
running before I had to re-format my drive. I'm using the same video
driver as before. Why wouldn't it work with VROC now? Could it have
something to do with the new motherboard (Epox 8KHA+)? FSAA works fine
when in offline GPL.....
Thanks!

Disabling FSAA was a Nvidia problem. 3dfx users have always been able to
connect with VROC AND have FSAA enabled. Just another example of progress
by stepping backwards.

Do you have a link so I can read more abot it ?

I believe you're right , Dave. FSAA shouldn't be the issue. I think my
problem is my firewall. I'll have to check it.
I'm able to connect to GPL when I turn the firewall off, but I get a
"Client/Server bandwidth Mismatch" error message.
Any idea what that's all about?
Thanks,
Bert

That very well may have been the case. Let me try another server and see......
Thanks!
