GP2 & Matrox Millenium 2mb Ram (help)

5 posts by 5 people · 21 Apr 1997 - 25 Apr 1997

Hi, I am having a problem with the game crashing, I get a GPF. Only if I get into an accident or go off the track while playing GP2. My configuration is: P200 32 mb ram M. Millenium 2mb video card. I have installed the latest bios version available for the video card but I don't know what's causing the game to crash. I run the game in DOS. Can anybody help??? Please e-mail me. Any info would be appreciated, Anthony Kulin [link lost in import]

Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Matrox. It's caused by something else. Unfortunately we don't know exactly what. We're trying to figure it out. You could try another***pit. There is a slight possibiliy the crash is caused by a newly used***pit.

I would suggest trying each of these in turn : - use scandisk to see if your hard disk has any errors - use a diagnostic prog to check other aspects of your system e.g.RAM integrity - reinstall GP2 from the CD - downgrade the BIOS to 2.4 - contact Matrox - contact Microprose (this NG's favourite software house...)
On a whim, I recently purchased Screamer2 on sale for $30. Having had only one sesssion I found it very difficult to keep the car under control with the steering wheel (Formula T1), even with the steering sensitivity set to low. Any suggestions on how to get more control over the car? I am not sure if I am over throttling the car but it sure ain't going where I want it to!

I found that I was having problems with steering, I have the Grandprix 1. I set steering to high, and run it in DOS, and found the control to be better, But it could just be preference. jeffj
