Try a null-modem cable if the computers are close enough. IIRC, a friend and I had some good duels using that setup with GP2. I actually just used a 'laplink' type cable.

Umm.....me and my brother where playing it on LAN 100Mbit and I was getting 30-40% PO as the server. Doesnt seem to be much of a problem, although there was a point it "hung" for around a second. Havent had the opertunity to try more than 2 computers yet, but will do on Sunday (probably 4-5) Ashley "f13dfx" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zGQf5.71329$[email hidden]...

Well crammond could never program multiplay properly so this isn't surprising at all. -- [email hidden] "f13dfx" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zGQf5.71329$[email hidden]... > Just read this post on GP3 Alpha1 Forum where people from the UK have been > getting their retail copies today: > > Author: Passa (---.powertel.net.au) > Date: 07-27-00 06:00 > > > Got 2 PIII 600mhz, 128, TNT2 > > GP runs slick on them seperately > > Try and play on a network (mine is 10/100mbs) and it runs less than > 12 frames a second. > > what a joke. > > looking to play a season with my bro, now we are going have to play > Hotseat Mode. > > How @!#$! > > Very dissapointed > > Any Help? > >

Yes it does. Make sure you select 2 players on both computers or more than 2 players on both computers. -- Ian Parker "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." <email invalid due to spam> Txl <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:XcSf5.1727$[email hidden]... > no help but the TCP/IP doesn't work AT ALL. > > > f13dfx <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : > zGQf5.71329$[email hidden]... > > Just read this post on GP3 Alpha1 Forum where people from the UK have been > > getting their retail copies today: > > > > Author: Passa (---.powertel.net.au) > > Date: 07-27-00 06:00 > > > > > > Got 2 PIII 600mhz, 128, TNT2 > > > > GP runs slick on them seperately > > > > Try and play on a network (mine is 10/100mbs) and it runs less than > > 12 frames a second. > > > > what a joke. > > > > looking to play a season with my bro, now we are going have to play > > Hotseat Mode. > > > > How @!#$! > > > > Very dissapointed > > > > Any Help? > > > > > > > >

Sounds like the multiplay is the same as GP2 , connecting 2 computers via modem in GP2 was very slow as well :( "f13dfx" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zGQf5.71329$[email hidden]...

Today I played over IPX network in the two player only mode (the mode which allows Qualifying,championship etc) with two celeron 300s clocked to 450,128 ram 10 bit network and a tnt2 in one and a matrox g400 in the other, both ran exactly as if they were stand alone systems except for when the other person pitted or had a huge pile up. we both have them set at around 1076x768 with textures off in mirrors and only track and smoke in mirrors and they run at around 50-70 % unless starting a race where it goes just above 100% till the cars spread out a bit.
