What's the difference between a dos and win95 install?

5 posts by 4 people · 13 Dec 1996 - 17 Dec 1996

I've noticed no qual setups with a win95 install. Also, I noticed a delay when trying to load cars to be painted. Is there any difference in game play/frame rate? -- [link lost in import] Nascar2 cars, blank templates, Nascar news, and more... Stop on by, what can it hurt?

There really is no difference, as the same version of the game is installed for both (N2 is a DOS game). The Win95 install program has a few bugs, one of which is it forgets to install the QUAL setups. Playing through Win95 might cost a fps or two, but really it's no big deal. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

OK. I'm going to reload N2 from dos. Do I need to delete the N2 files from my hard disk first or just run the install from dos and let it overwrite? Thanks! Tony Joy
