gpl and framerates on Multiplayer- Is there a fix?

There are many things you can do -- including trying GPL SpyBoy -- to try and get your rate up. First, though, go back to Alison's VROC site and (sorry) read virtually everything. This on-line stuff is tricky business, and a technology in evolution. But you'll find help there. Regards, Kurt

42 fps is too high since GPL is limited to 36fps. You seem to be experiencing the clock bug. Try setting your sync mode to 0 in your core.ini file. Set the clock_adj_delay to 8 or 12. Eric Cote at http://www.simracingmag.com found IRQ conflicts to be his problem. If your using a cable modem or ADSL to connect to the internet, try disabling your modem from the Control Panel / System program. Jason.
