Huh? Are you sure?! Have you tweaked the settings in the display control panel? What about anisotropic/antialiasing?

My FX5900 is running 1024x768, 32-bit, with 2xAntiAliasing and 1 level of anistropic filtering and most in-game settings have to be set to medium or low; I get about 25-30fps max. It totally sucks.

[diver944]

I dont use the anti-aliasing or anistropic but yes everything is on full and I am set at 1280x1024 in 16bit

I have noticed that GTL seems to use a lot more actual CPU than GTR, but I now have a 3.0ghz processor and it runs at 95-100% with GTL

[diver944]

Woohoo! I have the full game now

Maybe see some of you in the lobby tonight

Maserati League tonight, and I need an early night after that (celebrated the rugby result a little harder than I'd intended to yesterday ) Definitely up for some in the week though...

[FourWheelDrift]

Bought a new AGP GeForce 6600GT (couldn't find a 6800).

1280x1024 @75hz (for filling the monitor properly without having to readjust the monitor settings) and everything on full I now get 60-70fps with GTR and 40-50 with GTL on DX9.

Show off

You selling your old one, and what was it?

[_dobbo_]

Well my copy arrived today, and after two re-installs i still can't get it to start up. I just get a black screen. :scratchin:

[D_Mike]

try having a read of the FAQs at RSC dobbo...

anyone up for racing tonight?

[MarkBarton]

I'm around tonight, will definitely look in.

Dobbo, not sure what to suggest really - I had a very painless install. The FAQs are the way to go to start with I guess - what spec is your system, and what settings are you trying to run GTL at?

I seem to remember some people having that problem with GTR if they'd got the demo installed or something strange like that. Not sure how similar the two games are under the hood, but it might be worth removing all traces of the demo and then having another go at installing it. Other than that its probably a driver issue of some sort, make sure you've got the latest drivers for your graphics card and if you've been fiddling with the driver settings make sure they're set back to defaults.

Ok well had a couple more goes this morning before work.

Uninstalled the demo, re-installed direct X 9, re-installed the game. Same problem.

PC is:

Athlon XP3800 64
1GB Ram
2x Geforce 6600GT's in SLI configuration.

Playing non-sli mode causes a dreaded windows blue screen, first one i've seen on this PC. Playing with SLI enabled loads as far as the "checking disk" bit, then all goes black and that's it - hard reboot required.

I'm at work now so can't mess about, will check the forums for advice though.

[D_Mike]

it sounds like a problem with the copy protection stuff to me...

have you tried with just one graphics card in the machine?

[Royton Blue]

Will this be relevant to the problem or just something entirely different?

Q: The game crashes when I launch it, what can i do? A: The problem is most likely due to the StarForce copy protection driver and can be fixed by a driver update. You can find the newest version of the StarForce driver here. Unpack the sfdrvup.exe and launch it. Reboot your system when prompted.

You're not short of power then! Have you got the starforce fix? www.gt-legends.com/support_en.php It says it fixes a problem in the demo, but I'd be tempted to give it a go...

[_dobbo_]

Funnily enough when I was trying to look into this earlier, the only thing of interest that came up was starforce. Never got as far as looking into it more though, had to down tools and come to work.

Does look promising though, hopefully will sort the problem and I can get

thanks all!

Just mirroring another thread : I will shortly (in a week or two hopefully) have a copy of GTL from Sendit that will be surplus to requirements. £17.99 to the first person who wants it. Paypal or Cheque accepted. PM me if you want it.

[D_Mike]

I'm playing GTL online now

[UncleDave]

See you there!

[AJLintern]

I've finally got my copy from Sendit! Just had a quick go with the Mini and Cortina - it's great fun, very GPLish!
Just need to get a few cars unlocked now...
