Can't get F1RS to run

6 posts by 5 people · 27 Feb 1999 - 01 Mar 1999

Aaron, Actually, I *did* try downloading and installing the vers. 1.09 patch. No luck. Any other thoughts?
Well, I bought the "close out" version of F1RS yesterday (for $9.95). Installed it today, but the darn thing just goes to a gray screen after the 3DFX logo appears. I've got 200 mhz Dell; Matrox Millenium + Diamond Monster 3D II 12MB, Glide 2.53. Everything seems in order on the hardware side but maybe not. Any ideas?

Well it runs on my Voodoo2 just fine. Make sure you have Glide.dll and sst1int.dll in your Windows directory. Also run the setup program and go to the system tests to see if you have your 3dfx card available. Then try reinstalling the video drivers and DX6. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I could not get it to run on my Voodoo 2 either so i brought MGPR2 it is much >better with all the add-ons from various sites. >> Well, I bought the "close out" version of F1RS yesterday (for $9.95). >> Installed it today, but the darn thing just goes to a gray screen after >> the 3DFX logo appears.

Have you tried patching it to the latest version. I know there was problems with the 3d with the first version. I would make sure the game is current and go from there. Good Luck Aaron

I could not get it to run on my Voodoo 2 either so i brought MGPR2 it is much better with all the add-ons from various sites.

I'm wondering, I bought F1RS about a month or so ago, and I am wondering if there is a patch to show the car damage on saved instant replays? I wanna see my car get shattered after it did three barrell rolls into the first chicane at Hockenheim (damn tire touching accidents always flip you over!)
