Questions for Pete

[Mr. Killjoy]

Hi! sorry to bother you...

I searched in the readme but I didn't find out what was the use of certain game fixes, so I put the list above, and if you have a little time, you could tell what it is for, thanks:

-Direct frame buffer updates (I don(t really know what it is, butI noticed some speedups in MDECS, though)

-Disable Coord Check

-Use low-res fps timer (what are the buggy chipset? VIAs?)

hmmm, that's all

Thank you again

[Pete Bernert]

>Direct frame buffer updates

described in the 1.66 version notes

>Disable Coord Check

described in the 1.61 version notes

>Use low-res fps timer

described in the 1.68/1.52 version notes

>Thank you again

no problem

[Mr. Killjoy]

Ok, thanks...
but I still don't know what are the buggy chipsets, I have a quite old Via chipset and I don't know if I need that g.fix

>but I still don't know what are the buggy chipsets

in the 1.52 notes is a link to a Microsoft site, where buggy chipsets are listed

[Mr. Killjoy]

Thanks, I'll take a look

EDIT: The link is dead... it redirects me to the MS's "this page doesn't exists" page

Microsoft has changed the URLs for their KB articles... here's the new link:

>>A machine's PCI components are identified by a PCI identifier within the following key in the Windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\P CI

I don't have the Enum folder in my reg, WTF ????

EDIT:

I found that:

PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_0686&SUBSYS_00001106&REV_22\BUS_0 0&DEV_07&FUNC_00

1106:0686, it's in the list of buggy chipsets I'm fishy
