Re: GPL Update 1.2

Hey Christian, Question time! What is your system? (Windows version, Videocard, CPU, Soundcard, Wheel, Modem, Drivers, etc) Where does it stop in GPL? What was the last videocard you had selected in GPL 1.0? What GPL language version do you have? (English, US or German) Did you get any message when you patched GPL? With answers on these questions, we _might_ be able to help you... Remco On Fri, 31 Mar 2000 19:09:05 GMT, Christian Vodak <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have the following problem with GPL: whenever i update the 1.0 version to 1.1 or 1.2 the game does not start, gpl.exe just hangs.. I have no problems running the 1.0 version. Does anybody have an explanation ? Thanks

System: Windows 98, Voodoo 2 and Elsa Erazor III(TNT2), Pentium II 333 runs at 400, SB Live, Microsoft FF USB I use the 3dfx mode i have the german GPL, patching the thing just works fine, no error messages, but when i start it nothing happens at all and i have to kill the gpl-task via the task-list Remco Moedt schrieb:

On my system, it lasts about 2 minutes until the game really came up - I've changed some settings in the core.ini, now it lasts about 15 seconds. I'm running the german version 1.2 with a V3 without problems, maybe the program is confued because you've got 2 video-cards. Did you have a V1 before? There has been a problem with de-installing V1-cards, an entry in the registry wasn't removed which causes problems. Good luck, Berthold

My changes in core.ini: [ Communications ] disable_ipx = 1 ; Disable IPX support disable_modem = 1 ; Don't look for/use modems disable_network = 1 ; Disable network support disable_tcp_ip = 1 ; Disable TCP/IP support Happy racing, Berthold

You can try 2 things. 1. Open APP.INI in the GPL Folder. Change the line lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll to lastRasterizerDLL = softdll.dll If the game starts now, then you've a videocard problem. Try reinstalling the 3dFX drivers. 2. Run your CPU at normal speed. If the game starts now, it doesn't like O'clocking... Cheers! Remco

That�s it !! :-) I have to wait about 2 minutes then suddenly the main menu comes up, strange behaviour i have to say. Thanks to everyone ! Berthold Josephs schrieb:
