GPL Screen Freezes. HELP

When racing GPL off or online the screen freezes. I can still hear the car engine when the screen freezes. I have to hit the reset button to restart my computer. My system: PIII600 V3 3000 latest drivers 256 ram Sb Live sound card Logitech Wingman FF TSW pedals (w/clutch) I get 36 fps no problem. When the screen freezes the fps meter is lock at 36 fps. Anybody have any ideas. PLEASE HELP. Thanks, Chris G.

My guess is that your CPU or video card is overheating. Try adding a fan or two inside your case. The slot-card fans work well, are cheap and are easy to install. On Wed, 21 Feb 2001 15:58:21 GMT, "Gennarelli" <[email hidden]> wrote:

You didn't mention your operating system, but if you run win95/98 it might be due to a vxd problem with windows. You can find the easy fix for it here: http://users.megapath.net/~revolution/vxdfix.html KC Gennarelli <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:xARk6.97045$%[email hidden]... > When racing GPL off or online the screen freezes.

I had this problem. One solution was to lower the screen resolution, but a better solution was getting the "unoffical 3Dfx GPL patch-O-matic" by George Smiley. It is available at the GPLEA utilities page. You need to make sure to get the settings correct in the Glide.ini file, particularly make sure GPL Override=1.
