I just purchased a copy of GP2 and would like to find out how it runs on my computer.I hear alot of people talking about a GP2 log.What is this and where can I find it?Also,what is a good processor occupancy speed and log score?I'm running a p-166 with 16mb of ram and 2mb Dram Diamond Stealth GT.Are there any speed-up utilities other than s3spdup out there that improve the speed?Would the no-CD utility help much?Thanks in advance!

You can find it in just one second, because its already installed on your own HDD. Type in "gp2 log:on", then exit the game and have a look at your gp2-directory. Youll find a file called "gp2log.txt" with two entries: Speed (c.f. DX2-66): xxx Video speed: xxx By the way: My graphic card has an S3-Virge chip with 2MB EDO-RAM. If I start GP2 with a clean boot-disk under MS-DOS 7.0, I get a video speed of 269. But if I use s3spdup.exe, I get 453 points (I still cant believe!!!). My simple question: Is it possible, that my graphic card will send my nice greetings from the graphic-card-nirvana, if Ill keep on playing GP2 with s3spdup.exe? Emil

i am running gp2 on a overclocked p100 (upto 120),whilst this gives me a lower vid speed in gp2log (354 to 322) i get more frames/sec in the game(because of a faster cpu speed),my card is a s3trio64v+ and so i tried the utility s3spdup but this has made no difference at all Question:what would be the correct command line option to use and are there any other software accelerators around that i could try,also where,or from whom,can i find out more about the gp2log.txt reports and what each line means.many thanks to whoever replies victhor.
