Leadfoot Online - Anyone?

Greetings, For those of you that had a hard time with a higher end system and DTSC etc, will be glad to hear that Lead runs a lot smoother. System is a Tbird 1.1gig/GforceII/256mb etc.etc and Sprints just sucked on this machine. It wasnt drivers, it wasnt the install or the game config because I tried EVERYTHING and nothing fixed the terrible framerates. Even after a fresh re-install of the op system. But Leadfoot moves along great! But has anyone played online? Anywhere to go to try it in the demo? Some of you my remember me from Nascar Heat - remember FreezerBurn? :) Thanks and take care! -- Tony G. ~ The Angry Beaver http://TonyG99.KNAC.com - Check out my fo-to's http://www.PaulTracy.com - The MAN in CART http://www.Cart.com http://www.OnTrackOnline.com/ http://www.SeventhGear.com ><((((�>`�.��.���`�.�.���`�...�><((((�>�. ���`�.�. , . .���`�.. ><((((�>`�.��.���`�.�.���`�...�><((((�>

Thats funny. I have the exact opposite problem. DTRSC demo ran great,but Leadfoot chugs a little. I have to turn off some detail and lower res to get it to be playable. This is the first game that I have had the problem with. Also some control probs. Seems to be very slow to respond to my MSFF wheel. Anyone else have these probs? I find it hard to believe that my hardware cant handle it (specs below). It seems like I have bought Dirt Track racing and 2 add-ons for $20.00 each these games are so similar. Funny thing is DTR and DTRSC demo both ran fine.

I have a setup very similar to yours and Leadfoot flies at the highest resolution with details maxed. It may be a driver conflict. I am using the latest Leadtek drivers. The newest Nvidia drivers aren't always the fastest or most compatible.

Thanks Kyle. I will try the Leadtek drivers and see if that helps. It makes sense too because I think the 12.40 Detonators are still beta. "Kyle Roberts" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I run Leadfoot online with my Duron 750, using the old Voodoo 2, runs great, I used to run DTR & DTR SC on the K6-2 500 with the Voodoo 2 as well. Would not run on the Gforce 2 MX very well but Voodoo 2 is great. It's still worth having 2 video cards in the system. System, Duron 750, 256 mb ram, GF 2 32mb, V2 12 mb "Tony Gaylord" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GMvS6.103362$[email hidden]... > Greetings, > For those of you that had a hard time with a higher end system and DTSCetc,
