Yup. I had something in my mirrors for the first time ever. All I had before was a grey spot... Martin D. Pay Thinks this is a *nice* patch...

Hi I tried running the game with TNT and D3D patch and found the only improvement was resolution and little else. No improvement in terms of textures etc ? Framerate did stay on the high side regardless of view did you guys see anything more than that ? wonder if anyone with a Gforce card could put up a screenshot ?? -- Thanks and regards Leong SINGAPORE Email: [email hidden]

The mirrors are much improved and the OpenGL patch made things a little blurry. -- Nos

Is there any other point besides the frame rate improvement? I mean I went from sub 30s to 35-36 all the time at 1024*768. I could care less if I could see anything more, I just want to see the important things that are needed to race at 36FPS. With the highest resoulouting possible, in order to see the stopped cars.

if you think graphic has little more than eye candy, then try running the game with lowest detail levels if you are driving in car view, you would miss most of your braking points and would not be able to gauge your speed going into a corner My view is that graphic HELPS you to drive faster since it gives you a sense of speed...... AND SENSE OF DECELERATIONS. Steve Garrotto <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
