EM 0 Posted July 17, 2001 Don't know exactly how to help you on this. Under Win2k, I had to delete the gimme.dll file to run this game no matter what video card I used. I did a clean install of RC1 with my ATI Radeon 64 DDR and installed the game....muns fine without changing anything. Ed Share this post Link to post

It will ruin all chance of playing this game in multiplayer mode, and might also cause other adverse effects. See my thread in the other forum (the Win2k Games forum) about this. The key (IMO) is to set pagefile to a certain size. E.g. I've got 256MB of physical memory, and have a pagefile of 384MB (min/max). A friend of mine has more physical memory and an even larger pagefile. Without locking the pagefile size, NFS seems to allocate until it (or your computer) turns green in the face. It'd be interesting to know whether compatibility mode in XP sets a max limit on memory that is available to the process. -- Rune Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted August 7, 2001 Here my fix, which works great! Download this file, and double click on it to load it on your system. Alternatively, here's how you can do it yourself. Open QFixApp, and choose porsche.exe as the executable. Then the ONLY fix that you need to select is 'Emulate Heap'. To make the change permanent, save the sdb file, and double click on it to add it to your database. Share this post Link to post
