Tried lots of drivers, version 7.58 works fine and is very fast! Heiko "Alan Coates" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:tziB7.67343$[email hidden]...

Well what can I say? I've spent all evening trying a whole range of detonator drivers, from Elsa original thro 12.90, 21.81, 21.83, 21.85 I don't know what the hype is about but this game does nothing for me. Look at my system which beautifully and smoothly runs N4 and GPL at 1600x1200 with all the above drivers. I think crap programming is behind all the graphic gliches, no mirrors with any drivers (yes, I have tried turning mirrors on despite this should be on by default). Most drivers produce disastrous graphic problems with F1 2001. Only 12.90 runs but jerkily even at a lowely 1024x768 and still no mirrors and tyre grooves constantly disapearing and sloppy graphic gliches during running. Gameplay when I got it going is very unreal. Like the wheel skid in bends sound like rubbing a carpet. The dreadful AI which happily boots you off the grey stuff. Catching a car in front on one piece of curcuit only for that car to go into hyperdrive on another part. And as they get a few yards ahead they dissapear. Weird? I've got GP3, I don't play GP3 but it's better than this! Knowing EA there won't be any real updates unless your gotta buy them. No wonder it is so cheap (�19.98) Probably EB have had too many returns. Thank God for Papyrus... Alan "Alan Coates" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tziB7.67343$[email hidden]...

To be honest, you can't really give an informed opinion on the game till you get the graphics problem sorted out. Initially I felt the same as you, but after gettting it to run properly, and understanding that the default setups are VERY bad all the control issues and back end problems disappeared.

I've got an AMD Athlon 1.2 with Elsa Gladiac 920 GeForce 3. I find the game runs very well at 1024 x768 with 12.90 drivers. I haven't tried any others since I reformatted my HD. I do however get the game crashing back to desktop quite often. Fraps 1.4 seems to help, Fraps 1.5 makes it worse. Theres definitely some work to be done with the game to make it stable, but IMO it's a blast while it's working For example, I was in a race at Suzuka, I took the 130R behind Montoya, ran a little wide from the loss of downforce, caught him on the run up to the chicane then made a last minute dash for the inside, I got the corner, he left room for me to go through and pulled in behind me for the run up the start finish straight. (A bit of defensive positioning helped me keep my position <G>) In all I have found the AI in this to be exemplary, sure they make mistakes, but not of the kind you don't see every other Sunday on TV ;) Iain Mackenzie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:23uB7.59002$[email hidden]... > To be honest, you can't really give an informed opinion on the game tillyou > get the graphics problem sorted out.
