Hi I have just set up a 100mbit LAN connecting my two PC's One is a celeron 333 with 128 meg RAM, the other is a P3-850 with 128meg RAM I have GP3 on both machines The machines will talk to each other ok in TCP/IP mode but after loading the track on both PC's the game suddenly goes to a crawl, with the start of the race ie. all the red lights going to green lights taking somewhere around 5 mins! the game becomes unplayable. when manouvering around the menus etc to choose drivers etc it is fast Can someone please give me some hints Thanks Jennifer
You have the p3 hosting, right? You have the GP3 patch? Or on GP3 2000? The graphics settings of the slowest computer will determine what speed it runs at. So if you can only use 640x480 on the celeron but 1280x1024 on the P3 (in single player), you will have to use 640x480 on both machines when networked. Set the p3 to the celeron's specs and you should be right. Rafe Mc On Sat, 01 Dec 2001 19:09:34 +1000, Jenny <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks for the info Rafe I will try your suggestions I was running the P3 in 1024x768 but the Celeron was running in a different mode Hopefully that will solve my probs Jenn xx On Sun, 02 Dec 2001 02:11:14 GMT, [email hidden] (Rafe McAuliffe) wrote:
