I am running GPL with the 1.2 patch and the graphics are not quite right, the trees,cars,people and grass are what I would expect to see BUT the track surface is quite heavily pixalated in black and white and the racing groove is red. I am using a voodoo3 card with the latest drivers and my sysetm is a n AMD k62-500 with 500mb pc100 dimm I would be greatfull if someone could shed some light on this problem. Thanks RUB

Make sure you have all the glide tweaks turned off (unchecked) especially triple buffering.

The latest V3 drivers are beta drivers, and most likely the cause of the problem. Go back to the last DX6 or DX7 retail drivers and see if it fixes the problem.

with the opengl patch? Md Roy Blanchette wrote:

My system is also a K6-2. My card is also a Voodoo 3. I had the same exact problems that you did. But I found the fix on this great newsgroup. I forgot the name of the file, but it was an updated version of Glide. Somebody in this group suggested that I download this new Glide version and stick it directly into my GPL main directory. I did that, and my problem was solved. I'm sorry that I forgot where I found the newer Glide to fix it. But maybe somebody can jump in here and enlighten us. All I know is that my graphics were all messed up, like your are, until I did the fix. Now my GPL will run in any screen resolution with perfect graphics. It would only run in 640X480 before I fixed it. You can tell if the newer Glide has taken over by the size of the GPL menus after the fix. They are half the size of before, and are up in the left-top corner of my screen. But once you clear the menu screens, the screen size reverts to the normal size. Ok...somebody jump in here and let Roy know where to find the newer version of Glide to fix his problem. Pops...

ok sounds like u need the "banshee fix" for gpl I used it when I first hooked up my V3 , but found shortly after that I no longer needed it. I believe this was updated V3 drivers that resolved this. Damn can't remember where i found it, try www.fastlane.com Md Janne Heinonen wrote:
