V3 problems with GPL

I am sure you have all posted the fixes several times, but I only saw the Limit texture memory to 2 MB and I have tried that, however GPL looks absolutely horrible on my V3. It looks bizzarre to say the least. I have a completely fresh install of Win98 and GPL. The first run looked pretty good. (30 FPS at 8x6) I expected more, so i know I did something wrong. Please tell me what I did wrong Ralph Karam

You didn't do anything wrong. The GPL 1.1 patch (whenever it is released) will fix the problem. Another fix is to use Banshee drivers. The menu screens get downsized, but game graphics are fine. buzard

Use the banshee patch instead, it looks great here. I got some weird textures problems using the "limit textures" option.In monza the public stands were above the trees on the way to The Lesmos when using over 1024X... resolutions. It was a nice enginneering solution for 1967 ,but not real. :-) Rafael

Thanks. I have tried the fix I saw you had posted earlier but my framerate is still around 15 at the start with 10 cars in front. That is at 1024x768 but I Have seen people posting here saying they are getting 30's at the start with that resolution. also mid course I am only getting 25 with one car in front. I have a 450 128Mb ram V3 2000 AGP

Sounds like you have vsync enabled? Go to display proberties->advanced->3dfx tweaks and disable vsync. (Or use the Gary Peterson OC utility at www.voodooextreme.com) K.S. Br?nnick

Ralph, I'm using the same setup without any problems. Do you still use the retail CD-drivers? I do so.

Ralph, I guess your Voodoo is not active. 15fps at 1024 on a 450 sounds like software emulation. Jens On Sun, 20 Jun 1999 14:31:26 GMT, "Ralph Karam" >Thanks.
