GPL and Banshee

6 posts by 5 people · 04 Jul 1999 - 04 Jul 1999

Help for a newbie please... having just bought GPL I can't get it to run on my Creative Labs Banshee. The menu pics sit top left with mouse trails, the arrows on the menu pics are a long way from where they should be, and when it comes to actually driving, GPL just crashes and sends me back to Windows 95. (P233, by the way). Is it time then to upgrade? Many thanks, Alex.

It works fine with my CL Banshee- which drivers are you using? I had a problem with texture corruption using an earlier set, but the newest drivers work well. -- Scott Moore Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com]

Yes go get the latest CL drivers. These are very good, and I prefer them to the 3dfx drivers. However the 3dfx drivers have more options to adjust, and some people prefer the 3dfx drivers. The initial banshee drivers were not very good. And you will also need a CPU mobo upgrade. In order to run GPL well your framerate has to be as close to 36 fps as possible, otherwise the corrections that you make steering and the like are way too abrupt and you will find yourself off the track all the time. I know it is a pain, but GPL is worth it. Good luck Dolle Dolf. > >It works fine with my CL Banshee- which drivers are you using?

Care to provide some instructions with your recommendation? I'm curious about solving some GPL problems related to Banshee, but I'm cautious about unzipping anything without an explaination as to what the program will do and the best approach for installation.
