flickering mirrors in GPL with Tnt2

4 posts by 4 people · 27 Aug 1999 - 28 Aug 1999

I know it has been asked before but it I didn't have a TNT2 card at that time. So How do i stop the flickering in the mirrors. Is it possible to get a high framerate using the TNT2?? gr. Dogge
Can't. Not like you could see much in the mirrors anyways. :) There is an core.ini file under the OpenGL portion that you can use to adjust that # of times the mirrors are updated. Yup, getting 36fps at 1024x768 with a Hercules Dynamite TNT2 Ultra.
You can stop the mirror flickering. Change the "MirrorsEvery = 1" to "MirrorsEvery=4", minus the quotes of course. You may be getting this with no AI cars or only a few, but I doubt you're getting 36 with all 19 racers. I have a CL TNT2 Ultra and the thing is very slow when compared to a simple Voodoo 2 card. What kind of processor are you running (let me guess, a Celeron 400 overclocked at 900?)? I have a Pentium 400 with 128 RAM and with all 19 AIs and using the TNT2, at the start I might get 15-18 fps. With a Voodoo 2 I get an easy 28 fps or so. Alanb

If you have the CLabs card, the original drivers on the CD don't suffer flickering mirrors, but they're not quite as quick as recent ones. Even with the mirrors running at one frame every four, I've still found the performance worse than a single V2 card (I still use it for GPL), the image quality (esp racing groove) also seems poorer.
