Hey Paul, try the Open GL patch. You can get it at www.papy.com Later, Russ

OK, searched the archives top to bottom and cannot find anyone with this problem. Setup: Anthalon 650, latest BIOS, latest AGP drivers GeForce 256 DDR (Annihilator Pro), tried 3.68, 5.08 Drivers GPL 1.2, OpenGL beta 2 WMFF (works great) Software mode works fine, just ugly. Goes OK speed Other 3-D games work (Half-Life in OpenGL mode, NFS:HS, Mobil-1 [RC-2000]) excellent. GPL, OTOH, gives me about 5-10 fps when I am lucky. Loading a menu takes 15 seconds or more. It is absolutely dog slow. Starting a race takes over a minute (switching to full screen in-car mode). Played with mirrors setting, etc. Nothing seems to make it go. Any help would be greatly appreciated; I hate rebooting my K6-350/Voodoo3 into Win98 just to play GPL; this machine should do at least as well. Oh: Anybody tried a Glide wrapper? Maybe that is the answer, but I doubt it... Paul Kierstead

Alas, that is with the Open GL patch. Frame rates are much better in s/w mode...but ugly and low res. Just not the same experience.

Hey Paul, Someone suggested that setting the AGP speed to 1/1 in the BIOS would solve this problem. It's a tip you can find on the Creative Labs FAQ.... Remco
