Re: GPL and Banshee video cards

>doesn't matter what video graphics they >use they still have problems with GPL. That's not exactly true, I have run GPL since the demo days and have never had a graphics problem. Of course I run a brand of card which uses a chip which papy has been writing all there sims for, 3dfx support was added after the fact which a lot of people have forgotten.You must know how screwed up the computer industry is for compatibility and unfortunately the banshee card just happens to be one that needs a little help to work with GPL. The solution is out there, someone will rescue you, unfortunately not me since I don't know... Gman

Search www.deja.com for a "banshee fix" or something. I also have Creative's Banshee card and use this Banshee fix. I dont remember where I got it from and I wont search www.deja.com for you, but it's out there. It's a special 3Dfx-file, which you have to place in your GPL working directory. It is very good. It allows you for example to have the mirrors updated only every second or third frame, which improves frame rate. /Chrille, good luck in your search Humberto Soares wrote in message ...

It used to be easy to find at Sierra's site, I tried earlier and couldn't find it.

Yup, 1.1 fixed all the Banshee issues. There is the fix already mentioned, that worked for me with 1.0 on a Creative Labs Banshee. Just get GPL 1.1 though, and the problems should go away. BTW, I've never had graphics problems with GPL and my Rendition card, or with GPL 1.1/1.2 and my V3 3000. Kevin Caldwell Marty U'Ren wrote:

I'm getting frustated for the fact that I can't race GPL without something hapenning to the graphics. I got a Celeron400 16 mb Banshee ( with the latest drivers from Creative Labs ) W 98 64 mb Ram When I had Windows 95 GPL would ran good with no problems. Now in Windows 98I get distorded graphics , loosing colour and it is very annoying , because there is allways something with ^%$#* simulator . It's probably the best simulator ever made to date (GPL ) but sure has long ways to go , because it's very unstable whwen it comes to graphics and what everybody has been writting , it doesn't matter what video graphics they use they still have problems with GPL . If you have any info. that you could help me please e-mail me to [email hidden] Humberto

What version of GPL are you running? If it's the original release, 1.0, I believe your problem is fixed by the 1.1 update which should be at papy.com. Marty Humberto Soares wrote:

I still have occasional graphics corruption using a banshee (phoenix) with all latest drivers and 1.1 - whatI get is occasional colour corruption - like the racing line turns purple.

Go to http://www.the-fastlane.com/patches.shtml They have a Banshee fix and an older Glide dll. Maybe one of these fixes your problem. Peter Vienna, Austria Humberto Soares <[email hidden]> schrieb in im Newsbeitrag: PJlN3.182288$[email hidden]...

I have a monster fusion (banshee chip) from Diamond. With GPL 1.0 and the diamond driver I have in many some trouble. Maybe you should update to GPL 1.1 and for 3DFX banshee driver at http://www.3dfx.com/view.asp?PAGE=nusVBdrivers. They are a lot more stable then my Diamond driver and also a lot better in glide 2 or 3 fps and in D3D with more compactibility.
