Re: GPL & Voodoo 2 Problem.

Thanks for the advice. I installed with defaulting to the software rendering driver and everything calibrated ok. I then switch back to the 3dfx card and everything is cool now.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen a problem with GPL trying to get setup. I have a PII 350 (Asus motherboard), 128Mb RAM, Canopus Pure 3D II (3dfx voodoo 2 card), soundblaster LIVE!, Windows 98 SE etc etc. When I install the software and run it the first time it goes straight to the joystick calibration screen and then locks up. I have tried it with and without the GPL 1.2 patch and still get the same results. Last time I tried to get it to work I ended up shelving the software and only just got around to looking again. I know of at least 3 other people that are having the same problem and the common thing seems to be we are all running voodoo 2 cards. Any ideas? Racin Jason

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen a problem with GPL trying to get setup. I have a PII 350 (Asus motherboard), 128Mb RAM, Canopus Pure 3D II (3dfx voodoo 2 card), soundblaster LIVE!, Windows 98 SE etc etc. When I install the software and run it the first time it goes straight to the joystick calibration screen and then locks up. I have tried it with and without the GPL 1.2 patch and still get the same results. Last time I tried to get it to work I ended up shelving the software and only just got around to looking again. I know of at least 3 other people that are having the same problem and the common thing seems to be we are all running voodoo 2 cards. Any ideas? Racin Jason

Jason, I installed GPL on a similar setup with the same result, 300a OC to 450, 128Mb RAM, Creative V2 in SLI, Creative TNT 2 as primary Video card, SBLive DX 7.0a and glide 2.53dll with the same problem as you have. The machine has a MS FF wheel and locked up with the MS wheel software loaded and the V2 cards selected but didn't lock with the MS Software unloaded. It didn't lock with the TNT card so I calibrated the wheel with the TNT card then switched back to the V2's and its been fine. I'm going to load the new D3D patch on the weekend.. Hope this is of some help... Troy "Racin Jason" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:39597675$0$17017$[email hidden]...

Download the "Glide Driver fix 2.53" and extract the Glide2x.dll to your GPL directory or download and install the 2.56 drivers from http://www.3dfx.com/ If that doesn't do the trick and you have a serial mouse or other serial port device, add this to the [ Communications ] section of your app.ini file. disableDirectConnect = 1 ; Disable Direct Connect You won't be able to race via null modem, but it should fix you up if you have a pesky serial device.
