I am running on a athlon 700 mhz, voodoo 3 16 meg, 128 meg ram. Then game runs great until i turn the force feedback on. As soon as i turn it on, the game gets so choppy while driving that it almost freezes at time. I am using a Microsoft FF 2 joystick, can anyone tell me what i have set wrong that is causing the whole system to bog? [email hidden]
The MS FF controllers have significant CPU overhead compared with some (not all) other manufacturer's implementations. I get this from some reviews and benchmarks posted over the last two years or so. You may be seeing the effects of a bogged down CPU. -- Philip D'Amato [email hidden] 00 ZX-6R 00 S4 "Greg Dugger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wG1i6.119228$[email hidden]... > I am running on a athlon 700 mhz, voodoo 3 16 meg, 128 meg ram.

At a guess... Possible IRQ conflict? Is it freezing in time with sounds or anything? Just a thought... -John On Tue, 13 Feb 2001 03:16:44 GMT, "Greg Dugger" <[email hidden]> wrote:
