GPL on laptop problems
Hello,
I just moved GPL to my ACER laptop and I have the following problems : 1) Game is running at double speed eveyrthing is going at 2X real speed 2) for the moment I'm playing with keyboard and the only active keys I can use for direction and speed control are the function keys (F1-F12) and it's not really convenient. Thanks for the help -- Email contact http://cerbermail.com/?ltQ8eCFmRa |

I "season 2" maybe, but right now I'd like to be able to play with R and F for throttle and J and K for steering for example Thanks for the help > > Malc. > > > -- Email contact http://cerbermail.com/?ltQ8eCFmRa |

There is no patch or anything special you need to do to make gpl compatable with an A64, aother than the CPU fix for CPU's over 1.4Ghz or so. Suggest you re-apply the fix since your symptoms are exactly what the CPU fix is supposed to fix. Don't apply the Disco Fix after the CPU fix since the CPU fix includes it. > > 2) get a little joypad maybe? > > I "season 2" maybe, but right now I'd like to be able to play with R and F for throttle and J and K for steering for example You can pick up a cheap joypad for about a fiver, other than that your are probably stuck with the limitations of your laptop keyboard. You could try gplshift though, might help. Malc. |

Have a look at the GPL FAQ at
http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=105748 where you'll find solutions to this problem. It's usually due to powersaving settings (set them all to "none") or else the Speedstep (Intel) or "Cool'n'Quiet" (AMD) powersavers which are possibly accessed through BIOS. If you use the latest GEM utility for starting GPL, in the configuration window you'll find a setting to disable these powersavers. SpeedswitchXP at http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/ can be used too. |

I ran GPL on two notebooks with a trusty Logitech RumblePad and it was great. I could easily match my best wheel times, the rumble feature gave some interesting feedback, and it was all very portable. Stephen |
