Notable threadGPL 1.1 patch released: 'nothing changed?'
A user who had just installed the GPL 1.1 patch said he saw no changes, and was told the improvements were in force feedback, online play, Voodoo3 and Banshee support and setup limits, as listed in the readme. Randy Cassidy noted few changes had visible cues, and Jack Rambo praised the force feedback and said the new 3dfx rasterizer removed the need for Glide wrappers or texture limits. Users were reminded to restore the original gpl.exe if they had installed a no-CD patch.
With Randy Cassidy (Papyrus)
Automated summary.
You are doing nothing wrong. You won't notice much unless you connect
a force feedback wheel, participate in online races, have a Voodoo3,
use "low-rider" car setups, or want to tweak the system.

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
1) read the readme.txt
2) see what the changes are
3) enjoy
Geeze what did people expect ? :)

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
The list of what has changed is in the readme11.txt, which, I believe,
should now be in your gpl folder. Very few of the changes have any
blatant visual cues as to their existence.

wheel. ;-)

Absolutely! The force feedback is superb! In fact, I might have finished
GPaL a little sooner, if the force feedback not been quite as good. :)

I'm surprised you've gotten ANY work done, Jack. Relax about GPal -- this
should keep everybody buzzing for a while.

Ah so the truth comes out! Quick, someone go over to Jack's house and
replace his wheel with a gamepad until GPal is released.

What does 1.1 d for V3 users?

Well, actually, 1.1 does wonders for both V3 *and* Banshee users. No more
batch files, texture memory limits or Glide wrappers required with the new
3dfx rasterizer (rast3dfx.dll)!

So if I don't need the glide wrapper, can I cut the mirror refresh rate in
half without it? I find that this option increases frame rate dramatically...

Good point, David. Perhaps the only reason to still use the wrapper, though
I'd certainly try 1.1 without it.
Perhaps, George Smiley will do a "Glide wrapper lite" that will just provide
mirror refresh rate adjustability???

If you have installed the NoCDPatch, the Update will not work....
Just reinstall an original gpl.exe and the 1.1 Ptch works fine.

Should C: Stop hassling people and posted wasted things like this, it was
never going to be a different game, Randy has done a superb job fixing what
needed it, I now have Force Feebback, and love it, read the readme's.
Just wanted to say "good job on the patch", even if it doesn't have
"obvious" visual impact. Vast improvement in online playability (practise to
race transition nearly caught me napping... <g>). Thanks.

You need the GLIDE wrapper if you don't
own a 3dfx card.

The George Smiley patch can be made to only affect the mirror refresh if you
set the GPL override to zero. Then you can set the mirror refresh rate and
marvel at the beauty of 1024x768 with a Voodoo3 - no more small menus etc.
thanks to the 1.1 patch. :-)
