Voodoo3 3500 GPL only at 640x480?

I have: PIII 600 Voodoo3 3500 LWFF I can only run GPL at 640 x 480. Anything else locks up computer when quitting or when trying to view replays. Any suggestions, other than getting a good video card? -- Tom Hesselman Greenville, Wisconsin

Get rid of a file in the gpl folder named glide2x.dll ......

Gone....been gone since I uninstalled/reinstalled everything. Still have lockups running in anything but 640 x 480. Any other suggestions?

Have you patched to v1.1? That includes a new rasterizer (???) for V3 cards. But don't you have one now? (seriously, not sarcastic) -- - John P. Wilson :|: - Manager, Computer Renaissance: Round Rock, TX - http://www.computerrenaissance.com/

Have you patched to v1.1? That includes a new rasterizer (???) for V3 cards. You dont need that. I have a P2 400 with a Voodoo3 2000, and with everything on max, detail slider on full+, i get a solid 36fps running in 1200x1024, and i dont use the 1.1 patch. Rik Anthrax

On 23 Aug 1999 02:41:22 GMT, Sorry Rick. You don't get that framerate at 1280x1024 in a race. -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com * http://www.cabal.net * http://www.sputum.com

I have installed v1.1. What is the name of this rasterizer, and the file date? Is it rasd3dfx.dll, dated 5/13/99, size 163,328? That's what's in my GPL directory, after installing v1.1. Regarding my comment about getting a good video card, I was being sarcastic, as it was suggested elsewhere that my problem was I didn't have a TNT2. I have to live with this one.... but I still can't run in anything but 640x480 without lockups.

Sorry Rick. You don't get that framerate at 1280x1024 in a race. Hmmm, why would you say that? My choices go all the way up to 1600X1200. I leave it on 1280X1024......are you saying that in a race the game automaticly changes the resolution? then changes it back? or are you saying that higher res choices really dont work? Lemme know please! Rik Anthrax

I think what Ed was referring to was the solid 36fps at that resolution. I'm running the card in a PII 350 /w 256MB of Ram and at the resolution and detail level my fps die (< 26 fps) as soon as I'm in traffic. 50MHz isn't going to make that much of a difference. -- Thanks Michael Horton Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/gpl Home of the F2/F3 Hotlaps Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/html HTML for Beginners

Right, I noticed that after I posted. At the time I made that post, I only had the DEMO, so you see why I wrote that-- no other cars!! I have the full version now, and at 1280x1024 with mirrors on cars and track only, the detail slider in the middle, and everything else on max, with 10 opps, i get no less than 32 fps at the start, and a solid 36 fps when everything is moving. I tried 19 opps at the same res and it got down near 25-26 min fps. Rik Anthrax

Hehe..now that makes sense. -- Thanks Michael Horton Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/gpl Home of the F2/F3 Hotlaps Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/html HTML for Beginners
