Does anyone know of a compiled 2003 cars.wad that is available for download?? Or even a complete 2002 cars.wad? Plus, did anyone find that their PO went up when the F2002 was added to the game?by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Patched GP4 runs on my machine better than ever and with no flaws at all. At least I haven't come across any yet. And i have re-installed winxp on my pc a few times. If you are really worried, just keep a copy of your graphics config file and restore it later.

Cheers for that tis. I'll give it a try over the weekend. The .ie gave it away. Nice to know that the Irish are on the message boards too. I'm a Kildare man myself, though living in York now.by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.......... I got my adapters for £8 each from play.com. They are the Kiky X-Series adapters. However, when I got them and installed them with the provided software, win xp was recognising them correctly in the game controllers section but when I would go to play any game, the machine would just hang. Very annoying. So I checked out the forby Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
How have you mapped your buttons on your PS/PS2 controller?by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Has anyone tried this yet? I have winxp installed with GP4 v9.6 and two USB adapters that allow me to use my playstation 2 controllers on the PC. With Fifa 2003, the analogue sticks really enhance the game and I am trying to set up gp4 to use the same. Thing is, at the moment all I can get it to do is use the first anaolgue stick to accelerate/brake and the second to turn left/right (though Iby Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

Depends, I'd go for hardware. I found binary programming easier than c++. But c++ is a lot more useful in the industry. Just depends on what you want to do in a job. Thats why I abandoned programming and concentrated on networking and am a network administrator for a nationwide company now.by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Doh! By the way, I did C++ at university. Hated it. Couldn't get to grips with it at all. Come to think of it, I hated pretty much all types of programming. I'll stick with networking. Hope you get the hang of C++ though.by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

What a quality bit of programming. You must admit, the guys who designed this must be either pure genius or certifiably insane. Or maybe they are just anti-mod.....by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Is it not just a case of copying the car shape and the original texture assigned to that shape and just making a new texture with the same dimension? Sorry mate, in my infinite (not!) wisdom of computer programming I can't understand how it is a problem to change the textures for the shapes. I would have though the williams shape would be the best for the renault 2002. By the way, nice syby Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

Cheers Ellis. I believe that this problem might be being caused by me being a dumb@ss. Maybe I didn't go 'by the book' afterall. I think what I have done is taken your files and renamed them to the gp4 standard and therefore, like you say, your shapes aren't finding the textures. I'll retry it tonight and leave the filenames intact.by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Is anyone having this problem? When I undate the pitcrew outfits using Jon Waltons excellent carset creator 4b and export this to the game, the game just crashes everytime I am about to join the circuit. Any ideas?by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
I have tried recently to change the jordan, jaguar and toyota carshapes with the patches that have been released on the web. After I have created the new cars.wad file and I play the game, sure enough the car shapes have changed but the liveries are missing. All of the cars I have changed are now just white. I can't understand this as I have followed the instructions 'by the book'by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
For those of you using sound blaster audigy cards and playing GP4, I would strongly recommend you download the latest drivers for your audigy card from www.soundblaster.com. The drivers that come with the card are not very good, but the latest ones are fantastic and solve a lot of problems. But mainly, they speed up GP4 no end.

Cheers Dumbass, I will give that a try. But I really don't want to reinstall windows. Sounds like the old crt, alt, del solution is the best. Typical!by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

I think people are missing the point of this thread. I don't want/need to reinstall directx or windows as I am very happy with how the game is playing now. It is playing better than ever before. I was just making a point that I did not understand why I was getting such a better performance after uninstalling direct x 8.1 which I had downloaded from Microsoft's website and installing tby Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
Can anyone explain this! Originally, I was running GP4 off Windows 98 and directx 8.1 which I had downloaded from Microsoft's website.

Tom, You are right to be disappointed. I voiced my opinion on this thread just like you exclaiming how unhappy I was with GP4 not long after I bought it. And indeed I even sold my GeForce 4MX440 and bought a Gainward Geforce 4 Ti 4600 just for this game. And just like you, I got blasted by a load of responses on this thread for being stupid, unreasonable etc etc. But you are right. We as consuby Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

When using a hardware accelerated soundcard is it possible to keep the sound properties in windows set to full without sacrificing fps in the game?by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4
With that system spec, you only get 26fps. Thats just plain stupid. With that system spec you should be getting a fps of near 60. if the game had been programmed correctly anyway in the first place.by Cmspodwy - Grand Prix 4

My ass. How can they say that at the moment they are "experiencing an unusual amount of crashing and slowdown issues with the new GP game". That's bullsh!t. They must have known when it was released that they were having these problems. Still, good work canveyboy. At least now we have a contact name.
