First the history: I'm running a PII 400, 128 meg, 2 diamond monsters
in SLI, and sound blaster 16 bit.
After installing the 3d cards over a year ago I was able to run
1024x768 with most of the goodies turned on, 19 ai cars and still get
36 fps by the first turn.
Now the problem:
I did not use gpl for months and have installed/removed numerous
programs. When I ran gpl the next time, my frame rate has gone to
hell. I have to reduce res to 800x??? and turn most eye candy off to
get 36 fps.
I have since downloaded the gpl 1.2 patch... do difference in frame
rate.
downloaded new video driver from diamond listed below
FxMemMap VxD Version: 4.10.01.0207
WinGlide 2.x Driver Version: 2.54
WinGlide 3.x Driver Version: 3.03.00.0667
Direct3D Driver Version: 4.10.01.0207
Direct3D 32-bit DLL Version: 4.10.01.0207
Direct3D 16-bit DLL Version: 4.10.01.0207
still no difference in frame rate.
Now to make matters worse I'm getting mouse trails at the bottom of
the menu and the game locks when I try to change drivers.
I have also removed and reinstalled the game to no avail, Please
help, Bob Agee
OK, I stopped the mouse trails and crashes by changing the diamond
drivers to the drivers below:
FxMemMap VxD Version: 4.11.01.0015
WinGlide 2.x Driver Version: 2.56.00.0456
DosGlide 2.x Driver Version: 2.56.00.0456
WinGlide 3.x Driver Version: 3.03.00.0667
Direct3D Driver Version: 4.11.01.0441-2.18
Direct3D 32-bit DLL Version: 4.11.01.0441-2.18
Direct3D 16-bit DLL Version: 4.11.01.0441-2.18
but, my frame rate has not improved/changed. I still have to run
800x6?? to get 36 fps. Any help would be appreciated. Bob Agee
