Folks, I have tried everything to get my F1RS to work correctly. Problem is that the game randomly freezes within the first 3 laps. sometimes the joystick disables and enables during play. Framerate is fine. Specs of system are as follows. P166 running 4MB Orchid Righteous 3D Card (voodoo 1 3dfx) Have 500Meg free memory on hardrive, changing virtual memory to 300MB doesn't work Microsoft Sidewinder gamepad ESS 1868 pnp Audio Drive 3D Windows98 I have had the game running succesfully at one stage and then the joystick stopped and I crashed etc. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated for my sanity. Many Thanks Gary Whelan Australia
