Hello all, I'm having a small problem with GPL. I installed the JF carset tonight and everything looks great! BUT, a new problem just developed for me. I've been running GPL at 1600 resolution for quite awhile with no problems on my P3-900, 256mb of SDRAM, and GeForce 2 GTS 32mb card. However, after installing the carset, my mirrors in GPL are "frozen". IE - they take the first frame drawn and thats it. No animation, fps, or movement.. the first frame drawn stays in the mirror permanently. Now, If I drop down one resolution, there is no problem. If I drop down one resolution, and then back up to 1600, there is no problem. However, If I restart GPL with 1600 resolution, the mirrors are always frozen. I have gone into the core.ini and played with alot of the settings including the doubling vert/horiz size, etc and that didn't seem to have any effect. Does anyone have any kind of suggestion of what the problem might be? I guess in the scheme of things it's not a big problem, just kind of a minor nuisance. -- Scott B.

As usual... you're alot of help! Not as useful as an F1 race for an insomniac... but none the less... ;) Scott PA-Scott http://www.PowerSimsMag.com "Sean Higgins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vmlg7.42952$[email hidden]...

Scott, Sounds like all the extra textures in the carset have pushed your 32mb card over the edge (or it, in combination with GPL, thinks it's out of texture ram, though a res switch seems to convince it otherwise). You probably wouldn't see this problem on a 64mb card (I don't). Rick "Scott B. Husted" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hello all, > > I'm having a small problem with GPL.

Thanks for the input Rick =) I suppose that could very well be the case. I've been putting off buying a GF3 for awhile.. or even a GeForce 2 Ultra 64mb card as my PC seems to push everything I run right now just fine. Well, at least until last night ;) Thanks, Scott PA-Scott http://www.PowerSimsMag.com "Rick Baumhauer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9ltmrv$ba5uc$[email hidden]... > Scott, > > Sounds like all the extra textures in the carset have pushed your 32mbcard

If it is a shortage of video memory try increasing your AGP aperature size. Might help.

funny how after testing Anandtech.com stated that there is no real time gameplay difference between a 64mb and 32 mb card i run the JF carset on my Athlon 1.2 with 32mb 256 DDR Geforce with no problems Scott B.
