GPL Problems

5 posts by 4 people · 04 Oct 1998 - 05 Oct 1998

Well, I've been running GPL for a couple days now without any problem, mainly at Monza. Starting runnin the Spa tonight, and it keeps kicking me out to the options menu . It seems to be at random, sometimes just every few seconds. Has anyone else had this problem? I haven't tested it at other tracks yet, did not start happening to me until I started running the Spa. -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten AOLL Iroc Series Administrator http://pages.southtech.net/palmetto/aoll.htm

Just a guess, but I think Spa requires a lot more memory than Monza. Try the Ring and see if the same thing happens. If yes, it might be a problem with your system's memory (flakey or just too little of it.) -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.
I may have solved my own problem. I looked in the readme, and saw a note somewhere about having "poll with interrupts" enabled in the windows joystick driver. I checked mine, and it was unchecked, so I enabled it, and have been able to run the spa all morning without a glitch. Either that was it, or my system was just flaky last night. -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten AOLL Iroc Series Administrator http://pages.southtech.net/palmetto/aoll.htm >Just a guess, but I think Spa requires a lot more memory than Monza. >Try the Ring and see if the same thing happens.

Hi, I can't seem to get a few of the tracks to work in GPL, notably The ring and Rouen, with the ring the GPL always says that it could not find the track , and with Rouen, it can't find the replay system. Anyone else having this problem, and if so, how do you fix it. Thanks. Cya, Stuart Becktell
Hmmm. Rouen, Nurburgring and Spa are the three largest tracks in the game, and these errors ("Could not load the track.", and "Could not initialize the replay system.") are most likely triggered by a lack of memory. Is your C: drive low on disk space? Or, have you created a permanent swap file that is not very large? Either of these could cause this problem. Randy
