Cant get my resolution above 640x480 without distorted colours. Anybody got a fix for this? Thanks.

go to the fastlane and get the unoficial banshee fix www.grandprix2.com/gpl ) this will remove the graphics probs, im sure that it works on v3 boards rubinio > Cant get my resolution above 640x480 without distorted colours. > Anybody got a fix for this? > Thanks.

You can use the "Banshee" patch as a previous post suggests (As I have). Or you can just click on the "Limit Texture Memory to 2MB" box in the 3dfx Tweaks. Good luck. -G >Cant get my resolution above 640x480 without distorted colours. >Anybody got a fix for this? >Thanks.

Or you could put a batch file in your GPL directory containing these two lines: SET FX_GLIDE_TMU_MEMSIZE=8 GPL.exe -- Cheers!

I hate to sound stupid, but how do you create a batch file?? > >Or you can just click on the "Limit Texture Memory to 2MB" box in the > >3dfx Tweaks. > Or you could put a batch file in your GPL directory containing these two

Create a text file in notepad and save it with a ".bat" extension. -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824 ________________________________________________________________________________ "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want" (Calvin & Hobbes)
open notepad put the above lines in the blank document on the 'file' menu, click 'save as' put whatever name you want for it with the extension "bat". If you named the file GPLbatch, the resulting name would be: GPLbatch.bat Then (this is important) surround the name with " marks before you save it. like this: "GPLbatch.bat" That prevents notepad from sticking the .txt at the end of it. -or- You could just put GPLbatch as the name and save it then find the file and just rename it from GPLbatch.txt, to GPLbatch.bat YOu will then have to make a shortcut to the batch file to start GPL, rather than the existing icon, or just use the existing icon and change (right click, choose properties) the target of the icon/shortcut to be the batch file instead of gpl.exe Hope this helps, daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

I tried the banshee-fix, but then I can only run in one resolution. All the others make the pic to big or to small. Checking the 2 MB texture-box works fine for me.

Yeah, set 'file type' to 'all files', then it's OK. -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 RMRL #119 >The quotation marks aren't necessary, Daxe. >Jack >www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

Actually, Kirk, not even that is necessary. You're free to type a multiple word file name, add the .BAT extension, and away you go. Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL
