Windows 2000 w/ Geforce DDR and Dell P1110 21" monitor only allow me to get to 1600x1200 with a refresh rate of 85Hz or higher - but with EVERYTHING on in GPL and with a full field at that resolution I'm pegged at 36fps! AWESOME. I did have to use DXDiag to get the refresh rate to the max, as by default it was only 75Hz. With the OpenGL patch and the same settings I was lucky to get 25fps. Interesting thing is that the upper left corner (video card reporting) is all hosed up when the game starts unless I have AA turned on for D3D. And since that doesn't work so well I leave it off. It's not a big deal - it just looks kind of messy until I change screens. All in all this patch is a HUGE improvement for GPL. It seems as though we may be benefiting from N4 breakthroughs here. Very cool of Papy to do this for GPL. How about RS Shifter support :) --David Cook
