GPL at 1 - 2 FPS

Just installed GPL on my XP machine, done all the patching, v1.2, CPU fix, d3d. But it runs at 1 to 2 FPS no matter what, tried it at all resolutions, software, D3d, with wheel,FF on and off, keyboard. Turned off all background progs. Machine is athlon 2000, geforce 2 GTS, Abit AT7 on board sound, XP Pro with SP1. Any ideas? -- Cheers, [email hidden] Remove 'OhmygodImaDJ' and swap 0's for o's if replying.

Not that for a fresh install, you need to apply some patches in a certain order. Basically if you apply the 1.2 patch, then CPU fix, then the more sounds patch it should work. Don't apply the Disco fix or no-CD fix after the CPU fix, since the CPU fix includes these anyway. hth, Malc.

Done a fresh install, then v1.2 patch, stills runs badly, FPS stays between 1 and 4 according to game, tho it looks faster than this, but very jerky, as tho its playing catch up half the time? Applying the CPU patch only seems to make matters worse, often crashing to desktop or locking up completely? -- Cheers, [email hidden] Remove 'OhmygodImaDJ' and swap 0's for o's if replying.

are you running in software mode? Make sure the 3d rasterizer is d3d. (also make sure you apply the d3d patch BEFORE attempting to run in d3d ) :> dave henrie

d3d patch in and working, tho badly, game does the same thing in software mode. Its a though something is bogging the PC down. But I shut all other progs and a few unnecessary services down. All other games work fine -- Cheers, [email hidden] Remove 'OhmygodImaDJ' and swap 0's for o's if replying.
