Just installed NetKar Pro 1.0!

[Guest Paul_Forgey]

..and I've got multiple failures making it unplayable. Really a shame because 0.99 worked flawlessly, as do all the rest of my games.

Here's a breakdown of my hardware, and what's going on. I'd love to see this improved because I was so excited to see this released that I pre-ordered a registration code. Glad it was at a discount.

Intel P4 3.2G

1G RAM

Intel chipset, Asus P5GD2-Delux

ATI Radeon X800 XT, PCI-Express. Catalst 6.3 (latest)

1680x1050x32bit, 60Hz (this is the native resolution of my DVI monitor)

Problem: artifacts blinking in random parts of the screen, gets worse as the game is played more.

I've tried lowering the resolution down to 1024x768 but the problems are identical. The card is not overheating, nor is the system board or CPU.

Sound Blaster Audigy-2 ZS. Properly configured in both the Sound Blaster configuration and the Microsoft control planel as 5.1. Running latest available drivers.

Problem: Sound sometimes just cuts out.

Microsoft force feedback wheel

Problem: all the control inputs work, however the force feedback does not. Works in all my other games.

Window XP Professional SP2, fully updated.

None of these problems happen in my other games, including in particular Toca Race Driver 3, Half Life 2, and NetKar 0.99.

Anxiously awaiting the next bugfix release. This was quite a letdown.

Audio: try to play with buffer and delay settings, but with defaul it should work already.

Graphics: try to disable the shadows.

Can't help no more without patches
