N99 ALOT SLOWER

I just got N99 the first thing I notice is that no matter which version Rendition or 3dfx the game seems alot slower. I know my machine is getting kinda of dated but N2 flies in dos rendition mode. Even GPL runs smoother than N99. Any one else have problems Quess its a good thing I'll be ording a new Abit, or ASUS board and a 400 PII chip next week, when I get my $$$ back from the worst people in the Reseller business A2Z computers. but thats another story. Right now they have 700.00 bucks of mine and I am still waiting on a refund everything I got from them was defective, and now they tell me they are running behing in doing refunds. 200mmx 64 ram Intense 3d Monster 12 meg voodoo 2

Thank God.....I thought I was the only one. My FR in 3dfx mode sucks bad. But it only appears to be a problem in the turns. Once I hit the straights, it smooths right out. I'm running a P300 and 8mb V2 card. N2 and GPL both run silky smooth with max detail. I haven't tested for actual FR #'s yet. But they seem to be considerably less than N2.

same here turns are bad, except tri-oval a taladega is bad to I guess because of the grandstands. I can believe that a P300 slows down thats not good. I have a P400 on order I hope it helps See ya Mj

Are you guys running in windows or dos? I was getting crappy results in windows, then I ran it in dos, and its MUCH better. I'm running on a P200 MMX 32 megs, and monster 3d

>Are you guys running in windows or dos? I was getting crappy results in >windows, then I ran it in dos, and its MUCH better. I'm running on a P200 MMX >32 megs, and monster 3d You must be actually rebooting into DOS or something. Because the way the setup program sets up the DOS 3dfx version is to run in the DOS box within Windows without rebooting. And in this case the framerate is the same for the DOS version as the Windows version. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I'm running in windows. But then again, this was touted as win95 native. GPL is also win95, and I don't get any slow down there. I have to assume this is in the 3dfx coding of NR99. *** Tim Wortman *** NASS '98 Series Director *** NASS '98 Homepage *** www.nasscar.com/n2.html Unsubscribe from any NASS98 list at www.nasscar.com/maillist.html

No offense, but I think you guys must be smoking crack or something. N2 1999 runs 10 times smoother and much faster on my system. I have not upgraded or made any changes and with everything turned on, the game is as smooth as silk. On Fri, 20 Nov 1998 02:36:41 GMT, Morris Jones Jr

Well the problem is now solved on my system. Thanks to some good advise, I made an adjustment to the nr1999.ini file. Added the following lines at the bottom for "3dfx specific preferences": N2FXAA 2 N2FXLOAD=0X200000 These setting are for my 8mb Voodoo2 card. Higher mb cards will probably allow you to increase the 2nd number. *** Tim Wortman *** NASS '98 Series Director *** NASS '98 Homepage *** www.nasscar.com/n2.html Unsubscribe from any NASS98 list at www.nasscar.com/maillist.html

Yes, it does and it's worst on the tracks where you should be able to see a long way. Kind of reminds me of "Bill Elliot's Nascar Challenge" from the old days. MW

I have a Monster2 12mb card and N2. I use N2FXLOAD=0XFFFFFFFF to load all high-bit textures. Try it and if it slows down -- put your old settings back. Jason.
