Hi, I'm having trouble getting GPL to run on my TNT2-based system at work (OpenGL patch). I've installed it, run the latest TNT2 drivers, and selected OpenGL in GPL, but when I run the game it is a slide show (literally, like one frame every 30-60 seconds). Any suggestions?

I run GPL successfully on the following system: ASUS P3V4X PIII 533EB Diamond Viper 770 (non-ultra) 160MB Ram, etc Win98 SE or Win2K OpenGL beta 2 patch. Core.ini set to mirrors every 2 frames. Running the 5.13 reference drivers for Win98 from www.reactorcritical.com Set OpenGL settings to "Use Block Transfer" under the advanced NVidia Properties (can't remember exactly where). The system bogs down a bit during starts and really busy activity to sub 20FPS.....during races with details turned a bit down I get near the 36 FPS maximum. I would recommend the NVidia reference drivers (maybe even the 3.68 release candidate drivers). Make sure you find out how to set the "Use Block Transfer" option.

Even in software mode on a P90 I saw better fps than that. Can you get other games to run properly on this system ? What's the processor ? What else is running in the background ? Do you have enough memory ? What resolution ?

You've got some kind of serious video issue. Are you using the 2.08 reference drivers ? They have been the best for gpl for me and a lot of other TNT gplers. [email hidden] (Joe McGinn) wrote in <[email hidden]>:

A tip in this ng that worked for me that fixed this type of symptom on my TNT: -open your win.ini file -find the section [DrawDib] -change the line DVA=0 to DVA=1 don't know what it does, but my TNT was working OK, then at some point (probably when I installed a recent game demo) this line was added, and I got 0.2 frames/sec. I changed it and now I'm back to racing GPL. Joe62 wrote:
