I was screwing around with different drivers for my Ge-Force Ultra trying to find the best version to work with N4.All of a sudden I starting geting errors and when I could make it to the track I was only getting 5 or so FPS.I then tried GPL and had the same problem, I then tried Crimson Skies and that worked fine, plus a few other games. After cleaning my HD and reinstalling drivers, DX8a and N4 with no luck I gave up.The next day I sat down to play, I plugged in my TSW and stated N4 up "voila" everything was working fine, so I tried to find the best driver once more, once again I started to have problems again, then I relized, when I was fooling around with the drivers I disconnected my TSW, not from the gameport ( PDLI L4 ) but the connection from the peda to the steering wheell, it still says it's connected in game controllers. Sure enough, this was the problem, for some reason if my TSW isn't connected to the pedals N4 and GPL won't run right. Has anyone had this problem? and know what may cause it? ( DX8a suspect! ) System Kt7-r 1gig t-bird@1155 Ge-force ultra 256 VCM SB live Pioneer 16X DVD And for what it's worth, I like N4 better then Heat,IMO, I think the physics are more realistic. I've been driving GPL since day one and found it much easier to adapt to N4 then heat. Happy racing everyone BP
I have a TSW, P3 866 and Direct x 8.0a. I recently had a problem with N4; the game didn't recognize the wheel. I had to calibrate it using the Direct X drivers; optimized drivers didn't show the wheel as being connected. I went in the joystick control panel, removed the TSW and then added it again. I finally got it working again in N4 with "optimized" drivers. I didn't have any problems with the framerates. My only other problem since I have installed Dx 8.0a has been with Diablo 2; the games freezes completly. Chisau28 wrote:
