I'm having a problem when starting GPL in OpenGL mode at 600 x 800 or higher: The screen is divided in half (horizontally), with the lower half a solid tourquoise color. The upper half seems to be three interations of the in-cockpit view, overlaid/overlapping each other -- very blurry. I can actually use the arrow keys and drive off, and the sound is fine. In resolutions of 640 x 480 or lower, the graphics are beautiful and the framerate is a solid 36 FPS I get beautiful graphics and a high frame rate in Quake2 at 1600 x 1200. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, JKB [email hidden] Here is my system: AMD Athlon 750 128 ram SB Live!

looks like your using the nvidia 5.08 drivers these cause the problems you describe drop back to the next set 3.77 i think.

5.08 does offer a nice treat though open your registry and search for FSAA when you find it make the 0 a 1 and it turns on FSAA better than a voodoo card

I have a winfast DDR with an Athlon 700 and MS-6167 motherboard, Win98SE, DirectX 7.0a, SB-Live! Platinum, 256mb ram, GPL 1.2 with opengl rasteriser, and don't have any problems like this. I'm currently using the 3.77 geforce drivers. i never had any problems like this using the 3.68 drivers or the drivers on the CD either. Weird! Try some newer drivers, it looked like you are using 3.62s, I wonder if they are new enough. the latest official drivers are 3.68 I think, from www.nvidia.com. Don't use the 5.08, apparently it makes GPL look weird. sorry i'm not much help. Grant. jkb wrote:
