GPL 1.1 problems; single or multi-player?

I have been reading about a number of problems some people are having with the 1.1 patch. What I find confusing is whether the problems occur online, offline, or both. I have seen one person complain of problem so and so in single player mode and then the next person responds with his solution that appears to involve network settings changes in the core.ini file?? We all need to be more specific if we are to track down any reacurring problems and solutions with the new patch. As for my problem; since installing 1.1 I have had what look like clock smashes only they are happening in single player mode. I believe I have seen others with the same problem. Has anyone found a solution? off to buy a FF wheel, Randy To email me remove the "u"s

I havent tried online yet.but offline im only getting 25 fps whatever graphic level is set in training/racing whatever,With or without FF being implemented,and the whole thing does feel sluggish. this is with or without old/new core.ini old/new rast3dfx etc. Changing any of the settings in the ini's seems to make no difference for me. Tried old righteous3d2 drivers instead of the recent glide 2.56 3dfx ref drivers and still the same. Tried dx6 and 6.1 still the same. Tried disabling SLI,no difference. But simply copying the GPL.exe off of the CD into the gpl directory and 36 fps again,albeit no more FF :-( The 25 fps is very consistent although for some odd reason i have noticed that the framerate goes up when going around corners which is totallly the opposite to what i would expect,probably not at all important but i thought i'd mention it anyway. I have seen some games go like this b4,I remember that after playing POD for 8hours solid that for some reason it would occasionly run slowly but smoothly. My system :- PII 450 384 mb 100sdram SBLive 2 Righteous 3d 2's SLI'd intel 740 agp Microsft FF wheel connected to SBLive and Digital Edge F1 sim pedals using rockfire usb to joystick adapter Win98 Internet explorer 5 56K internal modem Have to say that the FF feels incredible and that you've done a fantastic job with it,far beyond my expectations,now if only this incey little glitch could be ironed out.....

Hi Randy I got same prob offline and online and in single player training mode with patch as supplied running the core.ini sample with the 3/84/3/84 12 0 options as discssued by all set. Read my earlier posts re what happened when I followed VROC 1.1FAQ instructions. Cheers Greg

Hi Randy and all, The following settings -seem- to have greatly reduced the number of "clock smashes" I've been experiencing since upgrading. In core.ini (renamed from core.ini.sample) I set: clock_adj_delay = 16 synch_method = 0 disable_modem = 1 (I don't have a modem. I'm on cable modem.) Since doing this I've had -none- in practice mode and only one in race mode (off-line; I'm not fast enough for on-line ... yet.) I was getting an average of 1-3 per lap in race mode before the changes. I then proceeded to take 2 seconds off my best lap at Monza ... 8^)...research continues. Pentium 200, 64 Meg EDO, Voodoo1 J.

3nd day of running the patch, 2nd since I made the changes mentioned in the last message. No "clock smashes" in practice mode. This evening, 3 of them, much less severe than originally while in Single Race mode, both in the 15 min. warmup and while actually in the 5 lap race. J. P. Hovercraft -------------
