Ati 9700 Pro Update

System is :- Xp 2100 + 9700 Pro 512 DDR 2100 Asus A7A266 3DMark 2001 SE score is 11,881... F1 2002 graphical problems was cured by going backwards to the 2056 drivers,having tried the 7.77 's , 7.79 's ,2068/2069 or whatever..not up to these drivers yet :) The 3D Config in F1 2002 shows 56.4 at 1280 x 960 x 32 (2 x AA) Nascar 2002 at 1600 x 1200 x 32 (2 x AA) and Full graphic settings ingame shows 45fps at start of race(back of grid) and upto 90fps in race when open track. Only problem i have now is that for some weird reason the two mods i have in F1 2002 ,the Alfa mod and the BMW mod don't work anymore.I click the shortcut and it goes straight into F1 2002.Really hope i can sort this one as i love the Alfa mod to bits. Still learning about this Ati though....so many chufffin settings within the control panel....!! AD

For some reason switching drivers screws up the mods to F1. I think it has something to do with the rerunning the 3d config program. I'm sure there is an easier way around it, but in the worse case you could just reinstall the mod. That's what I did with mine and it worked. MadDAWG

Maddawg do you have a 9700 also? "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > For some reason switching drivers screws up the mods to F1.

Rerun the 3Dconfig and copy the lines from the config.ini from CPURATING down, into the mod ini files.

Not sure about F12002 but in F12001 you just open up the "config.ini" file, copy the whole "VIDEOGUID=..." line, and paste it over the same line in you mod's "???.ini" file. Might be something similar for F12002.

Many thanks for that tip..it works :)) Great work AD

You should 'probably' go just a little further and duplicate the entire 2nd portion of the the config ini. Make sure all the various options match. Everything below: gridsize = 22 all the lines below that should match up...even if the vidmemory is close...match em up so all the little variables are perfect. dave henrie "Aydee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aqjis3$6q7$[email hidden]...

Yeah, your probably right. Just to be safe the other lines might as well be copied. I figured no harware changes were made and most likely he'd be running the same resolution and colour depth. For simplicity's sake I just suggested the single line. Krunch.
