GPL 1.1 and OpenGL - anyone get it working?

1.0 worked fine using TNT card, 30~36 FPS. Patch v1.1 installed and I'm only getting 3~5 FPS, game is unplayable. Tried multiple settings/changes, nothing seems to help. Anyone have the same problem?

Hmmm... Reinstalled GPL 1.0, re-added the OpenGL patch, still getting VERY low FPS. Starting to think maybe it's my TNT drivers (based on 2.04 I think). Interesting is when I hit F10 to cycle between the in-car and out-of-car views, the framerate will jump up to where it should be, then slowly fall back down to 2~6 FPS (this takes a couple of seconds to fall back this low). I should have run GPL before patching to 1.1 just to make sure it was still running OK after updating the video drivers last week, but I didn't. Damn. s.net...

It works with my Erazor2 TNT card (640x480, at Monza 25+ fps near the pits and 30 to 36 elsewhere. I use theese settings in core.ini: [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 1 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 8 ; setting the "TossHighestMip"-value to "0" GPL crashes loading a track.

No problems here with 1.1 and CL GB TNT card. Check that you have not accidentally enabled software rendering, and if the problems are only when online, change these settings in the new core.ini: clock_adj_delay=16; and synch_method = 0; Good luck, Keith.

Do you have the unified drivers installed? I had to remove them in order to get gpl to work. I have cl tnt (agp) with their 2.04 beta drivers. Run at 640X480 with 37-38 at monza, except in the pits where its in the 20's. the 1.1 patch increased my fps about 2. My system is a p2-233, 64mb ram, soundblaster64pci card. Also might try a clean install of your video drivers including removing the old settings from the registry. cl has a faq site that will tell you how to do this. hope this helps. Kirk

Works just fine for me, although I have a Hercules TNT2Ultra. [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 1 ; MipFiltering = 2 ; (sorry, looks like ***otherwise) MirrorsEvery = 1 ; [ Communications ] clock_adj_delay=12; synch_method = 0; Running latest Hercules drivers which are based on latest NVidia reference drivers.

Finally got it running OK, here's what I did (and note that this may just be a system problem on my end, not a problem with GPL or the patches) - System is 400mzh PII dell, 128megs, cl tnt1 video w/2.04 drivers, Logitech FF USB wheel and pedals. Deleted GPL, reinstalled 1.0, openGL patch, 1.1 patch. Still no go, FPS still in 3~6 range, suspected video driver problems especially after reading some posts on usenet. Deleted GPL, reinstalled 1.0, installed 1.1 patch, then the openGL patch. TADA! The problem was fixed! However after renaming the opengl CORE.INI file to something else, and changing the CORE.INI.SAMPLE to CORE.INI, the problem returned. And it would not go away even after restoring both CORE.INI's to the way I had them when it worked! Strange, I thought, so I rebooted, and what do you know - the damn game starting working properly again. It seems with using the openGL patch, any CORE.INI changes won't take effect until after a computer reboot? Here is the CORE.INI I am currently using, don't know online racing will work with these settings: [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 0 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 8 ; [ Hack ] steer_ratio = 1 ; Enable low speed ratio override [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 40.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.085000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 225.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force [ Rasterizer ] fullScreen = 1 ; run Full Screen? Notice I also had to change "MirrorsEvery" to 8 to get a reasonable framerate using the incar view. That kind of sucks, but everything else looks good and my framerates probably range from 25~36 now (incar, outcar=36). I really wish Papy would fix the game to allow for openGL now. Alot of folks don't use Glide and 3dfx anymore. Anyway, thanks for to the people who tried to help me on this. PS - No Crocco, I'm not using the CL unified drivers. I was going to download and install them, but I saw on the web site that GPL failed with them anyway...

Nevermind, had the same problem right after I posted this :-/ Rebooting made it go away. At least I know what to do next time. Not sure what the problem is, USB drivers or something, I guess.
