Help! I'm running GP500 on the following system... 300mhz Pentium Celleron 96mb RAM Monster Fusion I guess thats all you need to know for the following question. I've tried to run races and it is just too laggy. I've been as low ass 8 bikes at 480x640 (or whatever that low res is) with minimal graphics and its still laggy as hell. Runs just fine by myself with the ghost at 600x800 standard graphics. I am also running the game under 3dfx mode (not d3d) just because it wouldn't allow it when I first tried. Here are the questions... 1) how can I make it better? 2) how can I get d3d to run on my Fusion? (what's the command\button to rechoose the settings) thanks, DjFIL

gday mate ... long time make sure you have forcefeedback disabled in the gp500.ini file ... there is a problem with it really slowing up the game. I believe it was thrown in at the last minute. (bloody publishers) also check in at gp500.net ... Mark Dodd has posted some benchmarking strings that you can try to find out where the slow down is ... it could be the sound card (not too sure about that one) i have a banshee card as well and find the game faster in glide than d3d ... but there is a config exe in the start menu that will let you change between the two later shane db_wolf

PII 233, 64MB RAM, V3 3000. With everything cranked up to the max, I'm smooth as can be. DjFIL wrote in message <[email hidden]>...
