GPL, DirectX 7.0A, 3DFX spash...then it hangs

4 posts by 4 people · 17 Jan 2000 - 19 Jan 2000

When I start GPL with DirectX 7.0A installed, I get the 3DFX spash screen and then a blank screen/system hang. Whats up? I'm using the latest drivers for my card(Voodoo 3000 AGP). Running 1.1.0.3 of GPL.exe. I ran GPL under DirectX 6 without problems. Help please! -- Regards, _Fred

Turn your resolution and number of colours in windows right down before going into the game, it won't effect the game and it won't hang the game.... Problem solved!

When does this happen. Do you race via WinVROC? I have noticed that after I have raced online and I try to start GPL to practice (and modem is still online from WinVROC connection) it lags for atleast 10secs while it looks for a multiplayer connection on my ISDN TA. Cloud be doing this to you as well.

Well I have corrected my problem. I thought I had the latest3dfx drivers, but I was one behind.. I had 1.03.04.... I downloaded 1.03.05 last night. I installed 1.03.05, then reinstalled DirectX 7.0A, threw in the GPL 1.2 patch for good measure(sounds like a cookbook), and life is good again... Seeya in the turns! Fred.
