GPL warping with 1.2 patch

I never had any trouble with warping with the 1.1 patch (but it seemed to limit my framerate) but, having installed the 1.2 patch recently, I find myself driving along happily when, all of a sudden, everything speeds up! This is disconcerting and causes me to lose concentration (so important in this game) and is spoiling my enjoyment of the best racing game around. Can anyone help? cheers ak

I wish I could help you, but there seems to be a very small minority of us for whom the 1.2 patch does not work well. On my machine v1.2 is so jerky I am unable to drive at all. It wouldn't be so bad but it means no online racing for me since I use v1.1. I have tried everything I can think of from complete purges and reinstalls of GPL and my OS to the full range of old and new drivers for my hardware plus any recomended and not recomended tweaks I can find or think of. For what it is worth this is my system: Case: Elan Vital T-5 ATX Power Supply: Sparkle 235W CPU: Intel Celeron 300a MMX Costa Rica OC'd to 450MHz Board: Abit BE6 RAM: 128MB PC100 SDRAM Samsung CAS2 Hard Drives: Quantum ST64A002-01-A-A Maxtor 7850AV 850MB EIDE Video Cards: CL 3DBlaster TNT2 Ultra 2 Monster 3D II 12MB EDO RAM SLI'd Sound Card: SB Live Value Liveware 3.0 OS:Windows 98 SE Wheel: Logitec Wingman Formula Force If you find a solution Andrew please let me know.

The only thing I can think of in relation to time is the o'clocked Celeron. On www.earsound.com they had an issue related to timing in their sound drivers that was only found with o'clocked C300A CPU's with Windows9x. It had something to do with one DLL responsible for the Windows timer. As the site stated "Microsoft is aware of the problem", so no sollution for a long time. The only sollution was downclocking or another CPU. Marc Randy <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi, I run a Celeron 300A at 450 and have absolutely no problems with GPL. I personally know of about 5 others who also do this without problems, and I'm sure there are many more. The over-clocked 300A isn't the sole culprit. 300A at 450 ABIT BH-6 MB Voodoo 3 3000 SB Live!

I seem to recall some problems reported with Liveware 3 by some GPLers. Suggest trying earlier version. Marty Randy wrote:

I have to agree, since the problem is still there when I run my Celeron at 300MHz. On Tue, 11 Apr 2000 00:11:53 GMT, "Kevin" <[email hidden]> wrote:
