Hi,I just wondered if anyone knows if there is a patch for
"anti-aliasing" in Nascar2.I have a 3DBlaster video card .Any help
would be helpful.
Requests for an anti-aliasing patch for NASCAR 2 Rendition
Rendition card owners complained that NASCAR Racing 2's 3D version lacked the anti-aliasing that made IndyCar Racing II look so good, and many said they had bought the card only for N2. Posters reported that Sierra had said there were no plans for anti-aliasing and urged others to lobby for it. Some hoped instead for a 3Dfx Voodoo version or better support in NASCAR 3.

Wow this is from one of my racing buddies. He's a real diehard Nascar man, I'm
personally shocked he would go this far. But I agree with him 100% that there
should be a upgrade for the Rendition card and EVEN BIGGER a VOOOO port.
Come'on Adam, Charlie and Ken. You got the best racing games, now take them to
their graphical limits for today. I coulda sworn there is a guy at 3DFX that
would be more than happy to do the port. Or is the voodoo only getting
Silicoln Motor Raceway's Nascar?
N2 could use AA and another 5-10 frames per. OR up to your older ICR2
standards. I thought Nascar 2 was supposed to be the reason to buy a Rendition
(which it is) but I thought it woulda backed it up with the best gfx and
performance which it doesn't.
Yeah I think it's time to hear from Rendition on this as well. Are they still
alive?
PS So far Charlie your multiplayer patch is holding up pretty well!!

As much as I am a NASCAR fan and an avid N2 player/enthusaist, I have to
agree that ICR2 is 5x better as far as graphic performance and look
goes.
It does really kinda suck that there will be no AA or further updates to
the rendition version of N2........

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading all the other posts in this string, It would seem we are all in
agreement.
I too think Papy, er, Sierra should support an AA patch. Lets SEE what the
Screamin
3D (Rendition) can do, cause 3DFX and Power VR are starting to, or
have...Killing you.
N2 and Indy are the only reasons I got a rendition.
All other games I use the 3DFX!!!
Come on rendition!!! Get with it.
You got the hardware. Make the most of it.

First to answer the first question, No, there is no anti-aliasing patch,
and there is not much likelihood of there being one in the future.
Anti-aliasing is a method of smoothing out the "jaggies". As you may be
aware, a straight horizontal line or one perpendicular to the horizontal
can be displayed on the computer screen as a "smooth" line of pixels.
However, whenever a line strays from these axes, the pixels are
"stepped" and "ragged". Anti-aliasing is a "cosmetic" approach to
"blend" the jagged edges. It involves "blending" in the pixel colors of
the stepped pixels of the line with the background. It makes lines and
curves more appealing to the eye and less stark.

I wasn't aware that they had stated this in the past. The only thing I
remember on the topic was Sierra said that resources were not a
problem. We all know this is total bullshit. I think Tomb Raider and
Quake are also fine Rendition games as well but it has been 4(!) months
now since anything new. I had some hope when RRedline was announced but
nothing has come of it so far. I have to believe that the Rendition
Verite is dead until I am proven wrong. I won't buy another one and I
wouldn't recommend that anyone else does either. Buy a 200MMX instead.
They don't have to catch up with 3dfx, they have good hardware as it
is. I have been very happy with my Reactor, the problem is Nascar2 is
substandard and nothing new has been released since last year. Unless
the V2000 will make Nascar2 run at a constant 30fps with Indycar2
smoothness there is no way in hell I will buy one. If something isn't
done for Nascar2 to make it better I won't buy another Sierra or
Rendition product again. If Nascar2 sucks why should I expect Nascar3
to be any better?
I think maybe some of the management as well. They don't fix the
product they just sell you a new version.
They fixed the handling bugs and hand of god bugs in the Hawaii beta but
they didn't fix them in the real Nascar1 because it would have made it
better than nascar2. Besides the new tracks and the network support
there are really no improvements in Nascar2, just fluff.
A couple of patches to Nascar1 would have been just fine, the game is
still selling even with Nascar2 on the shelves. The lack of news from
Papyrus is enough to show that they are in turmoil right now. The GPL
and Soda news is just to distract us.
There has to be a way for us to show Sierra and Papyrus that we are
tired of getting screwed. The only way I know is with my money.

How about it Papy?Big brother Sierra puts out a card to support it,I bought
it,guess I must be sucker.Hire someone who can do it right(like in
ICR2.)Bought the card just for N2 and I am disappointed by the graphics and
framerate compared to ICR2,there is no comparison!Get with it guys.A patch
sure would be nice.

You didn't get screwed Brian, you just paid $10 per additional frame per
second - except in turn 4 of most of the tracks where you paid $150 bucks
for no gain :)
I agree, though, it sure would be nice if the product we PAID for looked
as good as the one we got for FREE. My .02.

Hi Chris, Brian, Bill,
Don't get me wrong on this, but the past few threads have been
about the lack of AA in N2, and the problem with cash outlay for
the card...Cost (and AA) aside, you all bought the Rendition for a
single title?!!
And to let you all in on something, IMO no one has gotten the 3D
version of ICR2 for free...since it only comes with the card (Cyrix
patch exempted). Kinda' like the ad that says 'buy one, get one
free'...More or less each cost you 50%. You paid for the card,
hence you paid for the included CD.
Sorry...I'll step off my soapbox.

Yes, I bought the Rendition card for Nascar2 only. What other reason is
there to own one? With the exception of Indycar2 every other 3D title
is available and runs better on a Voodoo card. I know many people who
only have a Rendition card to play Nascar2.
So are you saying that you bought a Rendition card because it came with
Indycar2? <g> I already owned Indycar so I prefer to think that it was
free rather than think I payed for it twice.

Um...this might sound stupid, but could someone please tell me what
anti-aliasing is and what it has to do with a rendition card?? I own a
reactor 3d card, (or what ever the new name is) and I'd like to know
what I'm missing, if anything at all.
Thanks,
Matt

Yes, that's the ONLY reason I bought the Rendition card. Do
you find this hard to believe? I mean, nothing else on the
limited list of games ported for Rendition interests me. I guess
if you find it hard to believe that I spent a mere $176 for a
video card just to make Nascar2 look better, you'd really
have a ball flaming me for the other (and much more expensive)
upgrades I invested in trying to get the most I can out of
this sim. <BWG> If I wasn't into this sim as much as I am, I
would've waited for awhile to see where this video market
is going to end up at......but, since there is something out
now that makes my sim of choice run much better, I was
willing to put out the $$$$ for it. Just wish the AA was included
in the sim that caused me to purchase it anyway. Being one
of the few games that comes Rendition ready out of the box,
I expected to see the AA in it, particularly since Sierra
manufactures one of these cards themselves.
Take care,

Marc,
To answer your question simply, "Yes." The only reason that I bought the
rendition card was for N2 (it was a birthday present to myself). Of
course I hoped that future software would support it too, but at the time
the only thing I was hoping for was REALLY fast graphics for N2. And
while the frame rate is good until you get in heavy traffic, where it
drops, the lack of full support for the card (AA in particular,
transparent smoke also) is disappointing. It just seems strange that the
only really good support for the card is the title that comes with the
card (screen shots of which helped to sell me on buying it) and the
production software doesn't provide all the features the card it capable
of, and that I think we were all expecting.
It's a shame, but I guess this just proves the old axiom "Buyer beware".
Regards,
Chris Patrick
I have 4 rendition cards just for Nascar 2. That's all I use it on.
Yep almost seems like a trick. Put a killer graphical app in the box ICR2 and
then all other ports thereafter are substandard of that. I always thought it
was supposed to get better as time went on.
Q.B.M.
>Yes, that's the ONLY reason I bought the Rendition card. Do
Same feelings here. To even take it one step further, I would be quick
to purchase one of the "3dfx" cards if I were to here of a port of
Nascar2 that actually was worthy of fully "showing off" this chipset
as I was so impressed with ICR2 on "rendition". I won't go as far to
say that I am totally disappointed with N2. Just a little let down.

There is talk about doing a Rendition make over on the game. Right

courted to redo Nascar2. This is a rumor about a discussion so I don't
know if it will happen or not. I think it is something that the team
wants to do if it can be budgeted, I am going on rumor here though.
I talked to some producers about this and put in our $.02 though. I
let it be known that there is a demand for an overhaul like ICR2 got.
Right now I don't know if it will materialize or not, I hope so though.

As much money as Sierra stands to make from NRO, I would think that a
Rendition overhaul could be bugdeted (should have been there to start
with); but sadly I think the last statement will hold true. I may be
pessimistic, but I'll never be disappointed! :)
