GPL: Banshee Maximum FPS 5!!!! Help please

3 posts by 3 people · 20 Feb 1999 - 21 Feb 1999

I have just bought GPL after reading how great it is. I am running a AMD K6-II 266, 64MB Ram and a Creative Labs 16MB Banshee. I have only just installed the game and I can't get any better than 5FPS with no sound and minimal graphics. In the set-up screen the game defaults to no accelrator card and when I amend this to 3DFX it tells me that it will take effect at the next restart-but it doesn't. Please, please help or it's back to CMR for me! Thanks Stewart

i dont know exactly what to do but i hear your supposed to go to 3dfx.com, get the generic drivers for the banshee and then go to http://www.grandprix2.com/gpl/patches.htm and get the banshee patch on that page. I believe that is what you are supposed to do. Jesse

GPL wouldn't run after I switched from a Stealth 220/3Dfx Voodoo1 combo, to a Diamond Bashee card. Since the video was fine in other games, the quick fix for me was to uninstall then reinstall GPL. Ran fine after that. If you go this route, back up your car setups first.
