I've read many of the posts regarding 1.1 slowdown. I'm not seeing the problem, same frame rates as before. I timed a replay lap I saved since 1.1 and the real time is correct for the lap time GPL reported. In the hope that this might somehow help, here's my system: K6 2 450, FIC503+, 64 PC 100RAM, sound blaster live value w/o latest drivers, Voodoo III 2000, AMC game card, homemade wheel, no FF :-( I did a fresh GPL install, applied 1.1 patch, applied sound patch (7 car sounds), installed KTOR 67 carset using GPLSeason ( into which I previously saved various graphics additions like***pits, sounds, ect.). GPL ran OK for a few laps before I noticed graphics corruption, track surface bagan to have green patches. Installed Gordon Smiley's banshee fix and GPL's been running great since. I don't race on line (old modem and AOL) nor do I have FF so I didn't use the new core.ini Hope this helps. Remove "edy" for e-mail Steve

Curious regarding your reference to Gordon Smiley. Was that a slip or is there a race games guy with the same name as the late CART driver? Just curious. Ron Kantowski

Sorry, I ment George Smiley. He put together the "banshee voodoo fix" for GPL. Actually, I don't know why I had to apply that as I thought the 1.1 patch was supposed to fix the graphics corruption problem with voodoo cards.
