GPL patches

Finally reloading GPL on my system, PII 450, 128meg ram, tnt nvidia 8meg and a MonsterII 3dfx card. Revision number of GPL is 1.0.0. If I remember correctly I need to install a patch(es)....so which patch(es) do I need and where do I find them on the web? Thanks, Jerry Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

http://www.papy.com/ You need the GPL 1.2 patch and probably the discofix for VROC and the D3D patch for your TNT card. Also, try http://www.gplea.org/ for tracks and cars. Kev [email hidden] wrote:

I patched GPL to bring it up to 1.2.0 but I cannot find the updated drivers for either my STB nVidia 16meg card (incorrectly stated that it was an 8 meg card in my original post) or my Monster II 3dfx card. The graphics honestly suck when I start the game and I remember having to update my drivers for my cards, however, I can no longer find them on the net. Any pointers out there to help me?? Thanks, Jerry Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

AND the vroc.ini fix as well ......................................................... jv.

Have you applied the D3D rasterizer beta patch from Papyrus? Are you using DirectX 7.0a? These two things will allow you to utilize the video hardware you posess. Sounds to me like you're running in "Software" graphics mode with no hardware acceleration. Regards, Brett C. Cammack

What I think I need are the updated drivers for my MonsterII card but the Diamond Mulimeadia site doesn't have it anymore :-((( > Regards, > Brett C.

Thanks everyone! I've patched up to version 1.2.0.1 and installed DirectX 7. I managed to find the updated drivers for my Monster 3d II board and now everything is working great. Again thanks for all the inputs and help. Regards, Jerry Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

No way to live w/o the GPLEA-cars Also check out the tyrebarn for add-on wheels, if there is enough UMMPH in your system.

For the STB Velocity 4400 and the Monster II, you want to be downloading drivers from nVidia and 3dfx, not from STB and Diamond since they no longer support the cards. Actually STB are now part of 3dfx and I think Diamond have been bought by someone as well, so that's why the driver releases dried-up. nVidia have excellent drivers for the TNT called Detonator 3, which should be way better than the ones you have, and 3dfx likewise have Voodoo 2 drivers which should be superior to the last Diamond release. The URLs are www.nvidia.com (click support centre and then drivers) and www.3dfx.com (drivers->voodoo2). The V2 will probably run GPL faster than the TNT as well.
