Display Card Problems

If you experience either green-ish kickup in snow or purple-ish kickup on mud then it is recommended that the 32-bit colour option be used, if possible.

The S3 Savage 2000 is currently causing a lot of graphical corruption in the front end and in game, this is believed to be due to the drivers. Also note that the new drivers give the option to enable hardware T&L and to enable W-buffering, these corrupt the game and should not be used.

The ATI Radeon in 32-bit rendering and cubic mapping causes black lines to appear on the back of the car. The front end selection screens have a high gamma settings, as does sections of tarmac in japan challange mode. The environment mapping in the high detail car settings, maps the car texture to the car. These should be fixed in future releases of Radeon drivers.

The Intel I740 has issues with DX7a, however it will work with DX8. The shadow mapping feature is not supported on the Intel I740 and will cause problems if enabled.

On both the G400 and VooDoo 3 there is an issue with the split screen fading after a race or on exit. This happens very rarely and should be fixed with later drivers.

The 3DFX VooDoo 2 and VooDoo Banshee has issues with environment mapping and will map the car texture as the environment map, this is a drivers issue.

The 3DFX VooDoo 3 has known issues with flashes occuring on bright stages.

The 3DFX VooDoo 5 shadow maps onto the car are causing minor graphical issues on a few tracks, if you experience any problems please turn shadow map off Windows 2000 issues

There are several cards which are experiencing problems in windows 2000, this probably due to drivers for the cards. The 3DFX Voodoo 3 and Banshee both will crash to desktop if 1152x864 resolution is selected, also the text will flicker if the 1024x768 resolution is selected. The ATI Radeon will also corrupt the text at a resolution of 1152x864 and higher. The S3 Savage 2000 will reset the machine after any track has been loaded, it is not advisable to use this card, however newer drivers should resolve these problems.

The Ati Rage Pro (with 4mb add on board) has issues in that the trees have coloured blocks in them, also the light on the back of the car are incorrectly rendered. This card has problems rendering transparent textures correctly, so in 2 player modes the cars may not ghost correctly.

Performance issues

If you encounter any problems, please ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your card. These should be obtained from the card or chipset manufacturer.

If you increase the settings of your display options and experience decreased performance and have the latest drivers, we recommend setting your Display options back to their defaults.
