Hi gpl racers, there seems to be a small, not so bothering, error in the graphics of the gpl: when you drive without the simulated hands - as always I do - the sides of the car's inside seem to change colour quite wildly! It doesn't bother me too badly, but, anyhow, I would prefer a constant texture... Anyone seen this? Any recommendations? [I use PII 350 MHz, Voodoo2] Arto

Under the win9x control panel, go to display properties and the 3Dfx tab, and check out the advanced properties and make sure you have none of the boxes checked. Also make sure you are not using any background graphics to win9x or "wallpaper" as this can affect the GPL screen too? Finally make sure you are using the latest Voodoo2 drivers for your card. 8-) *Peter* #:-)

All good suggestions Peter. Though I don't experience any problems with any wallpaper settings affecting my GPL screen. Also, depending on the refresh rate of one's monitor, one may get better frame rates if the "Don't sync buffer swaps to monitor refresh rate for Glide apps" is checked. -- **************************** Michael E.

Hi Arto I had the same thing, also the hand texture would flicker, I was all a bit distracting, It all stopped after I changed to the latest Voodoo drivers. Cheers Pete
