gpl patch & frame rates

Like so many of you I was getting a solid 36 fps in gpl ver1.0. When I installed the patch,my frame rates actually increased. Every once in a while I would see the magic number 40!! At the time I was using a T2. Today I purchased a MS FF wheel. And after installing it,my frame rates decreased to a low of 22,but running by myself at Monza I still got fps 34-6,except passing the pits where the fps would fall to around 27fps. So at least for me,the frame rate problem is certainly related to the FF issue. Joel Willstein

Hmm, I run the same settings for GPL 1.1 as 1.0 - I got 36 Solid in 1.0, but with the same settings in 1.1 they fluctuate between 31-38. Even at standstill! Only mod I did was the steering "hack" line in the core ini. This makes it pactically undriveable :( Matt -- Matthew Birger Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars http://www.cheekracing.electra.no

I have same results :( Try running a full field (which I am assuming you are not if you got solid 36 fps even in the pits) and use the sample core.ini and you will likely see the warping/slow motion effects we are talking about. When I eliminated all communications, client and server sections from the core.ini, things have almost returned back to normal--probably to the level you are describing with the strange fluctuations. Even before doing that, going down to a 5 car field greatly reduced the problem. Marc. > > Like so many of you I was getting a solid 36 fps in gpl ver1.0.
