Warm up and Geforce2

Hi, I've just bought Warm Up and first impressions seem to be good. However, I only played it for about 5 minutes because of a problem with the graphics. When running the race, part of the top of the screen keeps flickering as if there is momentarily a black triangle being drawn on it. Also, some parts of the screen display (speed, etc) are obviously drawing corrupted images. I've just installed a new GeForce2MX card with this (latest drivers from NVidia), and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the gfx card or with the game. My spec : Duron 600, 256 MB, GeForce2MX (Creative Labs) I've installed a FULL install of the game and have left all graphics settings as the game put them. Anyone else had similar problems or found a fix for it ? Cheers, nick. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

I've never seen any problems using 6.31, so try that

Check in your advanced display properties for d3d, make sure vsynch is set to off. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:92sj96$pct$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > I've just bought Warm Up and first impressions seem to be good. > However, I only played it for about 5 minutes because of a problem with > the graphics. > > When running the race, part of the top of the screen keeps flickering > as if there is momentarily a black triangle being drawn on it.

Thanks, I'm running with the 6.31 drivers. What version of DirectX do you recommend with this ? I'm currently on DX7. I'm thinking about ditching the ref drivers and just going with the drivers from creative.....

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. Although it doesn't seem to be a vsynch problem, but looks more like some sort of math error. It's as if one point of a triangle is being drawn right out of the screen, and so a big spikey triangle is drawn there. It's only for a split second though, but still noticeable. Also, when the black flag comes up, it's got half of it as the black flag, and half of it with a couple of big numbers. Also, the pictures of the cars at the top of the screen next to the rev counter (in the arcade mode) keep flickering on and off...... Damn..
