Strange - ICR2 now

First I'm getting excellent framerates for GPL in my p-133, 80 mb ram, Herc Thriller 3d 8m pci, win 98, 3 hardrives system. Now it seems that ICR2 rendition has gone haywire. All of a sudden, instead of getting my usual 30 fps, I'n now getting, 40, 50 and even 60 fps!!!!! That's way too fast to even play the game!!! What's going on here???

If I remember correctly, the Rendition version of ICR2 allows you to turn off the 30 FPS limit and run the game as fast as it will run, but the physics get speeded up too. This sounds like what you are describing. I think alt-x toggles it on/off.

is this a potential cheat to get faster times?

Oh. Well that may explain it. Thanx a lot man!! Mat

I haven't played ICR2 for a while, but I don't think it was. Charlie

Not a chance in HELL!!!! lol The car is so uncontrollable that I kept crashing in evry turn. I would try to brake but I would just wind up in the wall. At Mid-Ohio it took me 2:00.xxx plus with this. I'm normally around 1:40.xxx I think. Mat

>is this a potential cheat to get faster times? Faster times in the real world, yes. If you manage to keep the car on the track, that is. :) But not for "hall of fame" purposes. When ICR2 is zooming at 60fps, half a second real time will be one second in-game time. The lap times you are recording will still be the same. In order to cheat, the opposite ratio would be much more helpful (cf. GP2 "slomo" cheat). >>If I remember correctly, the Rendition version of ICR2 allows you to turn >>off the 30 FPS limit and run the game as fast as it will run, but the >>physics get speeded up too.
