I'm running a Pentium 550Mhx and Voodoo3 2000 and GPL v1.2.0.1. All is fine at 640x480 but at high res the screen is corrupt with strange blocks all over the screen and stripes on the track. Anyone seen this before and any ideas how to cure this ? Regards Terry
In Display ->Advanced->Voodoo3 check "Limit Texture Memory to 2MB" (I'm typing from memory here as I am not at my regular computer). That solved the problem for me on my Voodoo3 2000. You should get 36fps at 1024x768 most of the time. If you get a better fan for your card and download an overclocking utility you will be able to achieve even better results. See http://www.tweak3d.net for info and utilities. My card is clocked all the way up to 175Mhz from the default 144Mhz. In GPL for me the detail slider is at 50% and everything is checked with All objects in front and Cars and Track in the mirrors. --David Cook

Get the update patches for GPL, either 1.1 or 1.2, both will fix the problem and add FF support (if you need it). Obviously 1.2 is better.
