F1RS and tnt mouse problem

4 posts by 3 people · 08 Oct 1999 - 14 Oct 1999

Hello there, I have recently purchased a ASUS AGP-V3400TNT with tv out, When trying to play Formula One Racing Simulation the mouse clicks stop working(ie you click on the buttons in the game and nothing happens). Sometimes you can click a few buttons and even finish playing the game, others you can't even start to play. Very strange problem. I think it has something to do with the TNT because it worked fine with the Banshee I had before, everytime I think I have solved it, it comes back. Has anyone had this or similar problem?

Has anyone had this or similar problem? I don't have a solution, but I do have exactly the same symptoms. Game worked ok with an ATI Rage Pro, but once I installed my Hercules Dymanite TNT2 Ultra card, I can no longer click on menu options. Occasionally a mouse click will get through, but overall I've not once managed to get further than the main menu. Can't do anything but power the PC off and restart... HELP!!! :) Cheers --- Mike Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Yep, same problem with a Viper V770 TNT2 card and Diamond drivers. Oh, well, who cares, I've got MGPRS2, which works perfectly. :-P PT

> Yep, same problem with a Viper V770 TNT2 card and Diamond drivers. Oh, > well, who cares, I've got MGPRS2, which works perfectly. :-P Yep. Pretty pitiful performance on Ubisoft's part, really. I'll never buy another of their programs, as they've had literally *months* to fix this, yet they've chosen not even to acknowledge the problem exists. I managed to get the program to run *slightly* longer (ie. I could get through all the menus if I was *quick*, before it crashed) by setting the graphics card to Hardware Acceleration:Most - it was still playable, but the graphics looked pretty dismal, particularly the horizon. Game still got stuck in the menus after a minute or two... Worse still, having gotten it working to this point, I found out that it also doesn't work with my Logitech Wingman Formula USB. Everything is set up right, the wheel works with other games, and is set up correctly in F1RS, but when I get into the game, the pedals do nothing at all, and the gear shifters accelerate/decelerate. Couldn't find out what would change gear, so was unable to do more than see that the game could *easily* be fixed by Ubisoft, if they could be bothered. It was nice and smooth, no huge problems with graphics or anything, just annoying glitches like a sort of white "halo" around buildings on the horizon, etc. Anyway, long and the short of it, Ubisoft F1 Racing Simulation is a useless heap of sh*t, and nobody should buy it or support a company that can't even be bothered to make its products work. My copy went out in the trash yesterday - considered giving it away on Ebay or to a friend, but decided that nobody should have such a poor program inflicted on them. --- Mike Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
