Can't get F1Rs working - please help.

Can anyone help. I've got a Graphics Blaster Exxtreme with 4mb of onboard ram (Permedia2 chip). I know it's not as ideal as a 3dfx card, but I believe the game should run OK. When I run the game, it loads in to the menus OK, and I can access every screen, right up to the point where I click on GO, to start driving. The circuit begins to load in, up to about a third of the green bar, and then I get a blank screen, and have to ctrl-alt-del to Windows. I have an AMD K6-233, 32mb edo. Anyone had the same trouble? Many thanks, Keith Windsor

Keith, I had exactly the same problem with a Cirrus GD5464 3D chip based graphics card, on a K6-233 / Shuttle 569 combination. Upgrading to a Diamond Viper 330 PCI fixed my problems, and the video card is much faster as well. My opinion is that there is a bug somewhere, could be the video card BIOS, the Windows drivers, the D3D drivers or even F1RS itself. Make sure you have the newest versions of all these. Good luck, Another Keith. -- please remove _spam from e-mail address when replying
