2 Questions... Small Help Needed....

Hey everyone... i need a little help....

As you can see in this picture...

...the quality of the texture drops and get all blured (take a look in the front wing of the car in the T-Cam)... i know someone already ask for this before and i did search ok but couldn't find anything.... How can i fix this?

The second question is... i have here a AMD AthlonXP 3000+, 512 ddr 133, A7N8X-E Deluxe and a GeForce FX 5200... with this system i run GP4 with 20 FPS and 150% PO and can't use any AF or AA in 1280x1024... what is slowing my system down? because i can not believe my PC can't run GP4 with at least a little AF or AA... i am using WindowsXP SP1 english with Directx 9.0c and the latest ForceWare for my graphics card... 61.77.

Thanks for the help ....

read in [www.grandprixgames.org] i can help you with your problem

I'll take a look thanks SeiferNL...

And the other question.. anyone?

That blurry thing on the front wing is caused by your settings.

Look in this thread at my pictures and you understand.

That you have such a PO with that computer is strange.

If you want i'll set you my graphic file to try it.

That would be great!! can you help me?

check your email!

hummm fx 5200 is nvidia driver the ati drivers have a different setting you can try though if it wont work properly i can provide you one i have also nvdia driver in a about two weeks i would buy the 6800GT version cant wait for the benchmark on 3dmark 2003 -------->GP4 toooo smooth<---------------

diagnosis,

settings at 32 bit textures
everything on high

result: system struggling

with P4 3.0ghz turn off HT gp4 doesn't like it
directx 9.0c slows gp4 down

this is caused by bilinear filtering
to sharpen it up to trilinear filtering or cubic try accessing your cfg file,
THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR PO AND FPS SEVERELY!!!

overall there's nothing to worry about, you should be getting at least 20fps more with 3.0ghz (don't know why 20fps for a pc like yours?)

yes it will but i dont think the guy knows how to edit it so have to explain it better......

You must unistall direct x 8 because the 9 version has different and higher texture but with not a proper fast system it will slow gp4 down.

And try a CFG file from another nvidia user like i said you can use mine i will custom it to fit you game.

Are you saying this to me?... well... if it is ok. Are you really sure that Directx 9.0c slows gp4 down? just to be sure that you know i have a AthlonXP3000+ not a P4. i got my cfg file opened in the notepad and i didn't find any trilinear filtering... only bilinear and cubic... cubic is the same as trilinear? because i know trilinear is better than bilinear but i dont know cubic..... and for the final... me too man.. don't know why GP4 is "so damn slow" in my pc... but thats why i am here asking for your help... =))

hummm? dont know what you mean

Well, for what I see in your screen, the mirrors could be slowing down your GP, along with the resolution wich is 1280x1024 right? Try to low detail in your mirrors. If you can´t sort out the high PO yet, delette your F1config, enter GP4 and calibrate your graphics automatically (3 or 4 times in a row) and see what happens. With this method and a little tweaking from the GP4 menu (not from the config), you should have 110-120% PO at the start if not better.

Bigbrother or someone else... one more question... see if you can help me with this....

take a look is these two pictures.



The Before is with my old CFG... and the After is the CFG that you send it to me...what can i do to have the old reflections back?!...

and in the second ....



the distant track objects is gone... where are all the trees and the cenario? im using Ricardo's 2003 tracks... (very very good btw)

www.gundambrasil.com.br

first problem i think the solution is in your graphic file.
Open it with notepad or word

search for that line:

0 ; Enable AdvancedCarShader v2

Probabely its on 1 with you, pit it on 0 and i think problem will be solved

Second problem is also in your graphic file.

Search for the line:

0 ; [MAIN VIEW] Draw distant buildings[/b[

Probabely its on 0 with you, put it on 1 and i think problem will be solved!

Have also a look toward those line in the graphic file:

1 ; [MAIN VIEW] Draw near buildings

1 ; [MAIN VIEW] Draw Near stands


1 means selected
0 means off

Hope it helps!

Thanks man... the cenario issues now are fixed... and looks divine... thanks....

but the car haven't changed at all only get worse... take a look in this picture



no reflections whatsoever.... doesn't matter if Enable AdvancedCarShader v2 is on or off.... or 0 or 1 =(((

and other question.. jesus so many uahuahuah... how can i edit the distance that gp4 uses to low the cars definitions? i want to change so the cars looks perfect no matter the distance... i tried to do this in the gpxpatch


but the option is always off... =((

www.gundambrasil.com.br

i think thats only for gp3
