N4 racing graphics trouble and other ?'s

I downloaded N4 racing and installed it without issue. When I play it the track colors and skid marks are a rolling rainbow, not asphalt color. Makes you dizzy to watch it. Also looks that way in the rearview mirror. Any ideas? I will post my sys info below. Also, I only seem to have one car and the ability to practice alone. Is there a way to get the whole field on the track and do something other than practice. I know that this is only a beta but just wondering. Windows 98 Celeron 550 O/C 806mhz 64 meg sdram ABIT BH6 motherboard Creative Labs Voodoo Banshee 16meg PCI video Direct X 8 Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro Joystick thanx, jeff

I have a 3500 voodoo and it is clearly not good enough. I do not have your graphics anomolies but I wouldn't be too worried, since you will be getting a different video solution to use this game anyway. > > Also, I only seem to have one car and the ability to practice alone.

I have a Phoenix Banshee AGP and I don't have those problems at all. I'm using DX8 and have the latest reference drivers from 3dfx.com -Alan Jeff West wrote:

I had this on my Voodoo 2. Got the latest drivers from 3dfx and it fixed it :) Sam "Jeff West" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7Iw16.3356$[email hidden]... > I downloaded N4 racing and installed it without issue.

Hey Dude, i had a Bandee card too and it did the same thing. Unfortunately, you need to plan on buying a new video card before you will see the real N4. That what I did before my rainbows went away. Oh yea, You are testing by yourself. Unless, you run on the multiplayer mode. Then you can race with other friends.
