Can anyone help? I get images of grass, tires, dashboards in a couple of the add-on tracks in GPL, namely the new Lemans, Solitude, and sometimes Goodwood. I am running an overclocked Celeron 566 at 707 Mhz and a Voodoo 3. My GPL 1.2 is heavily patched with Bruce Johnsons 3do upgrades and some old GPLEA upgrades. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wayne

Your graphics card is running out of texture memory. The only solution is to reduce the amount of textures displayed. You can try reducing the detail bias but you may have to get rid of some add-ons and use lite versions of tracks where available. Of course you could also buy yourself a news graphics card.

Try using George Smiley's glide wrapper. Its at the GPLEA web site; its called something like 3dfx Patch-O-Matic. Follow the directions carefully to make it work. It fixed similar problems with my Voodoo 3.
