Hi.... I'm wondering if there are any other Riva TNT owners out there who can get better than 640x480 res on GPL ??? I'm running a PII 266 (Intel) with an STB Velocity 4400 TNT card, have the Beta2 OpenGL patch installed, but when I try to go to 800x600 or higher the screen goes black when I "go to race" and the PC locks up with the engine sound still idling in the background. Can anyone help on this, or is 640x480 the best I'm gonna get? Thank you! Jay J

I posted here previously re: not being able to get GPL above 640x480 with my CL TNT. I tried all of the suggestions offered but still no luck. I finally went in and deleted windows/system/* and reinstalled Win98. I tried GPL at 800x600 and it worked -- although plug and play did not detect my soundcard / game port. Installed the latest sound card drivers (Ensoniq AudioPCI clone) and GPL messed up again. Deinstalled the latest drivers and installed the drivers that came with my sound card -- couple of revisions older. Now GPL works fine and I can hear and steer! Wow -- it is quite stunning at 1024x768!!!! Using the Hercules drivers for my TNT because Detonator gave me a NV4 ogl-related page fault. Now if the mirrors only worked idealy.

- When you say 640x480, is game screen resolution or windows screen resolution? - My GPL goes very well sound/screen, but it has only the screen option of 320x200 / 512x384 / 640x480 are there any patches/drivers to increase resolution? - Windows resolution on my comp. goes ok on 1280x1024 32bits true colour
