PO is too high! (fixed)

Oh dear, GP4 is such a nice game. But everytime when I enjoy it, something went wrong. The PO during race sessions is too high (160-180), which follow very often into a crash of the game. I don't get it why GP4 do this. I've got a good system were this game should be run normaly very smooth, but no... GP4 hates me!

My System
------------------
Intel Q6600 (4 x 2.4 Ghz)
nVidia GeForce 9800GT
Realtek On Board Soundcard
3GB DDR2


Maybe something is wrong in my f1graphics.cfg?

And here a screenshot of my GPxPatch start window

I had the same problem and the guys on this forum help me no end!

Change the verbosity to mid & cpu to 0 see if that works?

Are you using hi_ for your liveries?

yes

Try changing the frame rate within the game down 5 places and then try the po ingame again. I had to take them down to about 30 before my game stopped crashing.

Ok. I've set the CPU to 0 and the verbosity on medium. Tried a quick race and the game runs a bit better now. The PO at the start is now at around 120-150, after that at around 80-90. Only when one or more cars are in front of me the PO goes up to 120-150 again.

When you've got a minute change the verbosity to high, which will give a report log if it crashes again. What is your Frame rate now?

UPDATE: verbosity on high > nothing changed.

General, it's a bit strange. In the onboard view, the PO is high. When I press Page down, I see the car from the back and the PO is only 50!!!

Do you drive in the cockpit view or t-cam? Try bring the Frame rate down a bit more then.

T-Cam view.

EDIT: I reduced the FPS to 40. Now the PO is constantly at 80.

Reduce the FPS to 35, and start gpx in debug mode. CPU 0

open f1graphics.cfg and disable AdvancedCarShader v.2 :
...
0 ; Enable AdvancedCarShader v2

some of my GP4 works ...

thanks Cyberrcer. Now the cars looking normal.


And yeah, thanks Willb.

By glossy I guess you mean reflective? Because I enabled dynamic environment reflections in my adusted config because your CPU should easily
be able
to handle it and it
really improves the look of the cars. Personally I'd leave advanced car shadet on got quality and just lower the environment map strength to
30 or something if you don't like your cars quite as reflective
