F1RS problem... HELP

3 posts by 3 people · 25 Apr 1998 - 28 Apr 1998

Hi there, F1RS is beginning to drive me crazy... my problem: So far, I'm only playinig in the time-attack mode. Usually after 15 minutes or so, F1RS simply stops, the screen freezes, returning to win95 is not possible. Sometimes the games just stops for .2 seconds or so but then continues, just to freeze two or three laps later. I've tried original version (german) and patches 1.07, 1.08 - no difference. All details on except replay. My system: P 233 MMX, 48 MB RAM matrox millenium 1, drivers 3.70 orchid righteous 3d, drivers 3.01 adaptec 2940, two hd's, toshiba cd-rom 3701B sb 16 thrustmaster t2, no adapter directx5 installed never had problems with other games. Any help? I'd really like to play this game... thanks, marc (Please answer also by e-mail) -- Marc Rennhard, Schaffhauserstrasse 155, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland phone: ++41 1 3611341 homepage: http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~mprennha

What is your swapfile/free disk space situation? And is anything overclocked? What 3dfx options are set in your autoexec.bat? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >Hi there, >F1RS is beginning to drive me crazy... my problem: >So far, I'm only playinig in the time-attack mode.
