Re: Does F1RS work with DX7a and a Geforce?

I don't know about the Geforce, but F1RS works fine for me under DX7a. -- don "Getting hit by a meteorite is an accident... everything else is driver-error."

That's wierd, I get the EXACT same behaviour. The only way I can get the buttons to work is to ALT-ESC out and then back to the app. Then the buttons work fine. MMmm. ...Colin Hans <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ulrz4.3723$[email hidden]...

I have GeForce (CLA) and DX7a. The game is fine but seems to suffer from a slower frame rate than I got with a TNT, but maybe Im just trying to turn too much on. I also have problems with the wav volume setting itself 1/2 when first starting the game so I have to alt-tab out and turn the sound back up...otherwise the menus are fine.

Hi, Every time I get to the first menu I can't activate the buttons. It worked now and then yesterday but now it's nothing happening. The mouse moves around but that's it. Cya, Hans-Otto

Thanx for the info. I tried the original v.1.03 and the problem wasn't there but the framrate was terrible. In version 1.07 and 1.09 I have to click and wait for a minute or so to get in...strange stuff cya, Hans-Otto

Do you have a Geforce? For me I can't seem to get back to the desktop with ALT-ESC. It's a shame as I really wanted to do some F1RS again. I like it better that the MGPRS game. Colin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8am6ef$vqj$[email hidden]...

I managed to get F1RS right with the menues on my other card, a CL TNT also using Dx7a. But I think someting is wrong with the file called DXinput5.DLL as they have changed it a bit after 1.03 which works ok with the menues on my Geforce. There are so many Directx packages and card drivers these days that if you go back to a two year old game these days your almost guaranteed to get into trouble. It's a shame...

Actually when it runs it runs like the wind. =) It just takes too much hassle to get the damn thing to run... I'll stick with GPL and SCGT I guess... ...Colin

Hehe, the game is pretty ok with the Geforce and D3D and the framerate is very acceptable I like it but the menuproblem is very annoying. Thanx for the inputs. Hans-Otto
