GPL SLOW after 1.1 patch (solution)

7 posts by 6 people · 09 Jul 1999 - 10 Jul 1999

Hi, It turns out that Force Feedback was turned on in GPL. To solve to slow framerate problem I simply renamed the file "core.ini.sample" to "core.ini". I guess FF really kills the framerate! Now I am back up to 36 fps again. Hope that helps some people out who were having the same problem, John

>I guess FF really kills the framerate! Now I am back up to >36 fps again. I suspect that depends entirely on which wheel you have. Some of them really eat up CPU cycles. With my Logitech FF USB there's no frame-rate hit at all. What wheel do you own?

No change with the ACT Labs wheel, either- at least not in my case. -- Scott Moore Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com] > >I guess FF really kills the framerate!

Don't loose any FPS with the Microsoft wheel and the feedback is great! -- Jeff Murchison Jr HTTP://members.tripod.com/grandprixlegends > No change with the ACT Labs wheel, either- at least not in my case. > -- > Scott Moore > Sports *** Network > [link lost in import: /***.com] > > >I guess FF really kills the framerate!

I have a Thrustmaster T2, (no FF yet :( ) FF must have been turned on by default until I setup my core.ini from the core.ini.sample file. I also noticed the controls were a little slower, so that would explain it too. I'll have to look into an FF wheel in the future though! (I'll have to see which is the best one first!) Later, John

You had something else going on, I think. FF is turned off by default. In fact, you need to do two things to enable FF... rename the core.ini.sample, to core.ini and change the 0 to a 1 in the [JOY] section. I have a Formula Force, and I didn't notice any difference in framerate. Haven't had a chance to play a lot yet, though. Tim
No change with Ultimate Per4mer FF either! Iain
