Intergraph Reactor and ICR2 slo-mo

Hi everyone, I received my Intergraph Reactor yesterday and must say that I'm impressed. Installation was a snap and everything works fine. However, has anyone experienced what seems to me slow motion during the replays on Rendition ICR2? Everything is very smooth but slower than what I feel is real time. This is mostly apparent during replays although actual driving seems slightly slower, albeit again much smoother than what I was used to in the regular SVGA version. Am I not configuring something right or is this just my imagination?<G> As a comparison, Quake is noticeably faster and at a higher resolution than I have normally used. Any comments or suggestions? --

Berry, You are not alone. It seems to be intermittent, try reloading indyfast several times, rebooting, etc. Also install the latest patch from the Intergraph web site, the one for Indycar II. I have not had it happen to me since I installed the patch. You can tell right away when it loads up, during the demo, it is noticeably slow or fast depending on if it is working correctly or not. Good luck! Todd

Todd, Thanks a million for the suggestion, it worked! I had noticed that patch on the Intergraph site, but hadn't given it much thought since the description said the file was for non-Pentium users. Whatever it did to the indycar.exe file worked great. Now everything is at perfect speed during driving and replays. The only depressing part is with the Rendition version my replay time is considerably shorter due to all the bells and whistles. Looks like it's time to upgrade from 16mb to 32mb.<G> --

If the latest Patch doesnt fix the problem, Please contact the game vendor to see if its a known problem they are working. If anyone is experiencing this problem on other vendors cards it would be helpful to know that so we dont look in the wrong place. It looks like our pathc on the FTP and Web site may be out of date. I have contacted the persons responsible to get the Mirror up and Running. The patch IS on the IBBS. You can dial it at 205-730-8786 (8,none,1,up to 14.4). You need to navigate to I (Intergraph Product Centers) B (Systems & Networking) F (File Libs) A (Drivers) G (Windows 95) G (reactor) and download INDYCAR.ZIP (594K, 10/30/96) There is also a VGAFIX.ZIP for systems that may hang when first installing the card. If you experience problems, Please call 1-800-226-4891 (7-7 Central) Thanks David Anderson Customer Support Manager Intergraph Computer Systems Workstation Solutions
