After seeing a post about the inclusion of the Bathurst track for GPL I dusted of my copy of GPL. However I have a problem which I can solve My display will only seem to allow me to play in 640 x 480. In a higher resolution the screnn divides in four and is full of static. I am sure I used to play this sim in 1024 x 768, but I cant remember what I had to do. the pc is a P111 600 128 Ram Ndivia Geforce DDR 32 meg vidieo card (with latest drivers) I installed the 1.021 patch and the open GL direct x is instaled Can any please suggest if there is any fixes? was it patched for certain video cards etc, or am I missing something simple. Many thanks From what I see the add-ons looks faboulous, I think I will be back with a vengewnce if I can make the resolution work . thanks in advance Glenn

DirectX on your system or the Direct3D rasterizer from Papyrus ? Just ditch the OpenGL and go D3D instead. Should solve the problem. Disclamer : I'm not a Nvidia owner, so if there is a known driver issue that fixes this, I'm sorry :)

try changing color depth 32bit->24bit->16bit. I got similar strange screen dividing effects on various color depths
