128 Ram, Hercules Thriller 8Mb PCI ) I thought it should be OK. But! My screen ( when on track ) flashes all the time, no matter what I do! I tried Direct Input ( pull with int. enabled and without ), generic joystick driver. I have USR v90 EXT, getting 28800 connection to ISP. MTU set to 100 to get lower pings. Anyone have a clue? Please help! Thanx, Borut.
That sounds like a pretty low mtu setting. Shouldn't it be around 576 or so? -- Don Burnette Palmetto Racing Dburn on Ten >128 Ram, Hercules Thriller 8Mb PCI ) I thought it should be OK. But!

Not for GPL. Remember: best pings come in small packets! Anyway I tried GPL online with software renderer now and there are no flashes! Is it a Thriller? Borut >That sounds like a pretty low mtu setting. Shouldn't it be around 576 or so?

% 128 Ram, Hercules Thriller 8Mb PCI ) I thought it should be OK. But! My % screen ( when on track ) flashes all the time, no matter what I do! I tried % Direct Input ( pull with int. enabled and without ), generic joystick % driver. I have USR v90 EXT, getting 28800 connection to ISP. MTU set to 100 % to get lower pings. Anyone have a clue? You may get better ping rates with a MTU set at 100, but you are doing yourself a big disservice with such a low MTU. You are creating fragmented packets and the overhead of recofiguring them (or fixing them if damaged) is larger than any benefit you think you are receiving. Ping generally sends extremely small packets (64 bytes). GPL is sending packets that may reach 124 bytes (at least). Set your MTU to 576 and things may improve alot. -- **************************** Michael E.

Are you using the latest (february) drivers from Rendition? The flashing screen in multiplayer mode is a known feature with these.... Switch back to the september drivers. Works great here. // Rolf
