Re: Missing polys on all tracks

Unfortunately this is a graphics bug carried over from GP2. You'd have thought that the first thing they did before adding features would be to remove the bugs, but apparently that is not so. I doubt the official patch (rumored) will fix this either. I think that'll only fix hardware issues. David C The Rank Beagle <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mf7dh$qhn$[email hidden]...

Mention your hardware, and MAYBE somebody will be able to help. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

If you've got a Voodoo 3 then get the latest drivers. "The Rank Beagle" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mf7dh$qhn$[email hidden]...

There won't be a "patch".. There will only be an addon which you pay for. That may fix some of the bugs... James R4 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mfeod$dd9$[email hidden]...

Had the same with a V3. The newest drivers from 3dfx solved the problem. Cheers, Andrew. The Rank Beagle <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mf7dh$qhn$[email hidden]...

If you've got Voodoo 3000 you neen to update the driver and its on the GP3 CD i thin in the xtras folder. I found this out after a 10MB download from 3dfx.com. the driver date is July 2000 hope of some help > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Thanks for all the useful suggestions. I had already downloaded and installed latest drivers from 3dfx.com. I tried the ones on the CD as suggested. Still got the same problem however. My card is Voodoo 3 3500 TV. (By the way does GPL run sweeet with 3dfx or what!!!!....very nice) ([B) <- Me with me sixties piss-pot helmet and goggles on doing GPL and grinning Back to GP3 however. ([;] <- Me with me helmet on doing GP3 (one eye closed cos me polys are missing down the right hand side of the road.) There are a few interesting features that might provide some clues to the nature of the problem. First of all, the poly's only drop out when the car is facing in certain directions. On certain sections of the tracks it is OK, then, as you go around the corner they drop out. Secondly, when its raining (in the game...not IRL) the wet surface of the track is OK in all directions, but you can see that the track underneath still has missing polys although they are obscured by the wet surface drawn on top. When I find my CD with paint shop pro on it I'll try and get a pic for you techies to ponder. Once again thanks for all the tips. Rank Beagle ([:]
