GP2: 3DFX Patch anytime soon?

11 posts by 9 people · 04 Jan 1997 - 13 Jan 1997

will there be a 3dfx patch for GP2 anytime soon? The game is so demanding that making one would be common sense.
I posted a complaint about GP2 not supporting 3D accelerators last week and got mocked and made fun of. I, as you do, felt that this was a legitimate request. Glad I'm in company now. Come on Microprose... M Lewis > will there be a 3dfx patch for GP2 anytime soon? The game is so > demanding that making one would be common sense.

Come on Microprose... I think it'd be great! I missed the original post. I turned everything on at Monaco in SVGA, just to see how it would look, and it looked incredible. I had plenty of time to take in the scenery too. I got 8fps. Heh. --

The word from MP so far has been no patches or add ons of any kind for GP2. Nice support if it is true.

From what i have heard it sounds like microprose has pretty much abandoned the game. I don't know of any patches of any kind being developed.
>will there be a 3dfx patch for GP2 anytime soon? The game is so >demanding that making one would be common sense. C'mon guys! This is MPS/SH we're talking about.... They don't do patches/updates anymore. This game is not going to be patched/updated EVER! Let's hope Goeff sees the light like Sid Meier did and gets the hell out of there and gets with another company (other than Sierra;)) and makes GP3. Maybe by the turn of the century we'll have a new GP game, or else a computer that will run GP2 smoothly. PLEASE, lets end the GP2 "patch" posts. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PATCHED!!! Regards, Rick Carlson
Im with you on that one Rick! Its such a shame that this game isnt even installed on my HD anymore.However IF this patch does see the light of day I will be first in the queue at the FTP site ;).
snip Well put Don. GP2 is a dead game that had tons of potential. We may gripe about Papyrus/Sierra but they obviously listen and care about their product (OK, Papyrus anyway) Ol' MPS is headed for Chp. 11. ***'em, the sooner, the better. Maybe Papy can recruit Crammond.

Though I admit I am terribly pissed off and want to see a _perfect_ :) F1 sim, let's be fair: there were 2 patches for GPM1 (I'm not saying they helped, but some after-release work has been done:) and some patches for Civ2.

> Maybe Papy can recruit Crammond. Nah, Papy does US-only sims ;) BTW does anyone have any stats as to sales figures: what sold better, ICR2 or GP2 ? (I guess it's too early to ask about N2) Sincerely, Karim ---------------------------------------- Warning: e-mail address protected by Anti-Bot Protection:) Please double any reply with an e-mail.

Then you haven't heard of the Next Papy project??? Historical F1 racing, circa 1960's.. You know skinny tires, no wings, how will we ever stay on the road?? Dave Henrie
