MGPRS2 - V3 - Stuttering

Hi Just been trying MGPRS2 having installed a voodoo 3 3000 on a p2 450 - 128 mb. It runs ok but there is stuttering frame rate every 4 or 5 seconds. It`s just a momentary pause - not too serious but is annoying. Other games / sims are great GPL, SCGT, TOCA 2. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Try closing down all other programs that are running...i.e.-Virusscan, MS shortcut bar, etc. BEFORE running MSGR2. It solved the problem for me. (I too have the same specs as you P2-450 128, and V3 3K) -Tim

If you have the latest V3 drivers, that's your problem. Copy the glide*.dll and glide*.ovl files off the original driver CD to your MGPRS2 directory, and that should fix it - worked for me! HTH, Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Yes, I have almost the same config and it's doing the same for me in N2. I haven't tried the other racing software yet. A pause every 4-5sec on a V3 3500. This really effects braking as it kills the controller input. I will try installing the other glide.dll but don't know what versions are the older ones???? Thanks, Matt

Hello, It's also happening to me as well. Would you know where I could get the original glide files from??? and what versions they are.... Much appreciated.... Same with a V3 3500 by the way :o( Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the tip. I copied the files off the V3 driver cd into the MGPRS2 directory and it runs MUCH smoother. Thanks again. Karl

Just checked it on my system - same stutter. This was already with that quake driver. Incredible, that 3DFX doesn't care at all. I'll go back to the retail CD-drivers. At least they work. Jens Schumacher On Tue, 10 Aug 1999 21:29:53 +0100, "Karl Brankin"
