Well, it did work great, on that replay anyway, but when trying to view another replay made at a different track, it is in slow motion.

Slow motion means you are viewing a 60fps replay using an unpatched exe. That's what I meant by two exes, one unpatched for 36fps replays and another (patched) for 60fps replays.

My demo folder has a" gpl.exe" and a "gplc67.exe" , you mean I need two gpl.exe's ?

No, you need one unpatched exe (for example, gpl.exe) to view 36 fps replays, and gplc67.exe to view 60fps replays. The gplc67.exe must obviously be patched for 60fps in this case.

Yes, it was copied from the other computer.  They are both in the Demo folder together.

First off, thanks again Brr for this fine addition.

I just did my first 67Mod 60fps on-line test at Zandy and had a problem. Just past the first turn, the steering just locked up for no apparent reason. Never happened before. Though I'm probably the only one this has happened to, I thought I should still bring it up. See attached replay for details....

Replay

Cheers,

Will


Well I was hoping this was an isolated incident but this problem persists and it only occurs on-line. Last night it happened during a nearly full field race at Road Atlanta. On the first lap, the wheel froze and the accelerator stuck for a split second which caused a lousy accident. I carried on hoping it wouldn't happed again but it happened again at the exact same location, then again just after the first turn. I had to quit.

No disrespect intended at all to BRR and his fine patch but that's it for me and on-line 60fps races. Bloody shame too but it's not worth risking unnecessary accidents.

The only thing I can think of is, I don't use any feedback on my wheel but that's just a guess. I use a red momo and have never had this problem prior to the release of the patch.

Maybe a G25 will solve this problem but that's not in the budget anytime soon. On a positive note, the frame rates were excellent with the full field on an add-on track. :)

Cheers,

Will

Could you post a bit more information about your setup, in case some other red Momo users can spot some differences (assuming they don't have the same problem). For example, which Logitech driver version are you using? It seems GPL stops receiving control inputs for a while, if the car does not respond to turning the wheel. What kind of USB devices you have plugged in?

Thanks for your help BRR. I'd love to pinpoint this and get back into 60fps action.

With my very limited knowledge, I see I have the FF settings ON in the Logi profile and OFF in the core.ini. Not sure this matters. I will turn it OFF straight away.

Anyway, here's what I'm running....

The logitech driver is quite old, maybe other red momo users can comment if it makes sense to update it. USB seems ok.

The 60fps patch does not change the code which reads controller values, but it probably does cause them to be read more often. I'm not sure of the details, so can't yet say how this could cause the problem.

    Amazing Mod!

    It is simply wonderful driving GPL at 60FPS :).

    Couple bugs that I'll report later after some more testing to make sure that I'm not doing something wrong at my end.  

    Thank You Brr, You rock!

    Thanks very much for this patch.
    Thankfully my PC can run it on full detail still, and the difference is breathtaking  :o
    I sincerely hope that somebody is able to solve the AI problems in the future.
    Many thanks again for this!

    OK I was using Direct 3D V2, So I switched to Open GL V2, And It's working great .
    I went back to Direct 3D V2 and the problem cameback, So Open Gl V2 works on my system.

    Now I notice something else it happens on both I get flickering on objects not up close but way out in front
    any Ideas?

    Thank You
    and hope to see you on the track.

    I believe to get rid of the flikering, you have to adjust the line in core.ini in the rasterv2 section called LODbias= anywhere from -50 to +50 somewhere in there, it varies from vid card If i remember right. adjust it until u get the desired result
