Re: GPL screen freezes

The 2.54 drivers can cause this. Overheating can also cause it. The latest drivers from 3dfx may fix it if you have 2.54. A surer thing is to put the 2.53 version of glide2x.dll in the gpl folder. If it aint the drivers, you can test for overheating by running with the cover off the pc and maybe even pointing a table fan at it.

You could also check that Find Fast isn't kicking in as a function of Windows. Its been mentioned many times before with regard to screen freezes, and I cured my freezes by making sure it doesn't run automatically. Works for N3 etc as well.

Sometimes while racing my screen freezes and the program continues running in the background. I have to kill it via the task list. I use a PII400, VoodooII. Has anybody else encountered this problem ? Thanks for any help Christian

A lot has been said about this. ranging from driver update to downclocking the voodoo2 to reduce the heat produced by the V2. I found out that all that did not work. Even got V2 at 88Mhz. I run GPL now with a Celeron 400@500Mhz, and the V2@100Mhz. The only restriction on running GPL at all is use the 640x480 resolution. This 640x480 is the only way to get GPL running without freezes. You could use the GPLGlide patch by George M. Smiley to run the mirrors at half the framerate the normal game does (36fps) to ease the V2 load a little. If you like I can sent you a copy including a ini file missing on some download sites. Marc Christian Vodak <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
