F1RS Problems

Hi all, I am having lots of problems with F1RS (the original one). I am only able to get about one lap before I get kicked to my desktop. My specs: Celeron 300a 128 MB RAM 16 MB TNT2 MX300 sound card Full install of the game (D3D) I believe the version of F1RS is the latest one..it does have force feedback capability. Any ideas? Joginder P.S. The game came with my formula force wheel (one HELL of an impulse buy!). The wheel rocks! I don't even mind the pedals. I haven't tried GPL with the new wheel...later tonight. It might surprise you but the FF is extremely well implemented in Lucas Arts' Episode I Racer....the G force effects were awesome. Just waiting for GPL 1.1

What resolution you running? I run a 1024x768 desktop and was having problems like that. Switching to 800x600 before I went into the game cured it. Hope it helps. Tony

Sorry about the double post, but if that doesn't cure it, you can go over to http://www.f1racingsim.com/index2.html and check their forum page for ideas. If it does fix it, check it out anyway. You can get programs to put your name in the game or update it to the 99 season. Tony

Yeah. Run your desktop at 800 x 600. Glenn

My desktop is running at 800x600 (16 bit). Nothing is overclocked. I'll check out the web page mentioned in one of the other posts. Hopefully I can get things running. Thanks, Joginder

Anyways, even though my CD came with the latest version, I downloaded the 1.09 D3D patch and the 3D sound patch from the Ubisoft site. Voila! No more problems. Thanks for the help! Joginder P.S. The person that designed the front end interface must have been some kind of ***.
