GTL Graphics problems
I have just loaded GTL on my pc and even at lowest resolution and lowest
detail i have slow down on screen and also graphis problems mainly being red patches on the travk and trackside. I meet the minimum spec. I have an Athlon 2400 with 512 ram and an ATI Radeon 9000 card with latest drivers. Also have latest direct x Is this common or do i have a problem. It plays on my lap top but that is fairly high spec. Any help appreciated Thanks Kev Barnes |

Try to set the video mode in GTL Config.exe to DirectX 7 or try 8 first, but
I think, with your system, 7 is better. You will see only small differences between them.

Old cards need old drivers, and I cant recall but the 9000 wasn't it a
problem?
