GPL problem
Hi folks,
got me a nice shiny used radeon 9800 pro today, and everything absolutely rocks, flies and is sheer joy. But: No GPL! It launches ok both in D3D and OpenGL, but I cannot click on the green button that takes me to the track list (or normally would). I had a similar problem a while ago which I could "solve" by launching GPL through GEM+, but this time this didn't help. I'm using the latest catalyst drivers (4.12, I believe) on winxp pro. Thanks for any hints, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

Training works fine, but if I start a single race at mexico I can enter the car, drive a few metres (say 10 ;-) alongside the parked AI cars and then GPL crashes with an illegal exception. Any ideas?

ok, did a little more experimenting, and gpl crashes only when using
the d3d7 renderer, opengl seems to be fine (but runs with ugly mirrors and at a flickering 60hz refresh rate). Can anybody confirm gpl running under d3d on a radeon pro 9800 / win xp pro / dx 9.0c? Cheers & ta in advance, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

That means the problem must be on my end, and that's better than nothing. Maybe I'll just try a fresh install. uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

Looks like the problem was solved by re-installing gpl, copying over
the old player directory and carefully copying the car directories one by one back to the new installation (when I tried to copy the full cars67 from the backup, GPL would crash again). Thanks to all who responded, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

OpenGL in GPL is close to useless with the Radeon card, huge hit in fps. The 60Hz problem is XP related, you'll get it in every game. Google for a tool called ReForce to fix it. Some graphics drivers may also include a workaround for the 60Hz prob. -- - Jussi Koukku - |

GPL would not run properly. What I did was install the GPL 2004 demo in a separate folder, it ran fine. Then I copied the entire demo folder to my GPL folder and it worked. Joao Gonzalez |
