Re: Slow rendering

OMG! I think I found it! All I had to do was change the resolution to 1280 x 768 32-bit and it pops right up with no rendering delay at all! Now even a notoriously slow rendering course like Shinnecock Hills HD just pops up with no delay. Yay! Thanks for the help all. That's great news, Pancho! Cra...

Re: Slow rendering

I would've put all my chips on Driver. That's the best guess I've got. Sorry. Maybe someone else has an idea... Anyone?

Re: Slow rendering

Pancho, could it be that you are playing Links so fast that the game can't keep up? Some players talk about it taking 15 minutes to play a game. It take my old brain longer to deal with everything, and rounds can be almost an hour long. If you do play fast, some of the newer, more graphics-demanding...

Re: Quintero Golf Club

You better fire that caddie! I never depend on him for any short-game shots. The yellow grass plays just like the rough that's right in front of it. LW with normal chipping elevation. The ball flies the same distance from both.

Re: Slow rendering

Next, run the nVidia patch. You don't need to have nVidia. It does more than just add a few things. I don't know enough about computers to make the judgement "No, I don't think I'll run it." How come you do? It solves problems you don't even know that you have. So, you want help? Run it! ...

Re: Slow rendering

I know I will be labeled "special" or a "contrarian", but I've used nvidia cards for over 20 years and never messed with the video.txt file. Sorry Dave. The guy was asking for help and I was busy trying to get him to do what I asked and along came your comment that didn't help. ...

Re: Slow rendering

Hi Pete. I am unable to edit the videocard.txt file even though I changed permissions to give full control. It just won't save. Could you send me yours? craigwfoster@hotmail.com I have gotten rid of Voodoo and have not installed the nVidia fix (since uninstalling/reinstalling Links) as I don't use ...

Re: Another reason to hate microsoft

I'm curious. Can you do a dual boot with Linux and Windows on the same PC? Thanks!

Re: Quintero Golf Club

Cool! Looks like areas I saw when I drove around the western US a few years ago. Maybe even some ancient lava covering the area. I'm sure some of the older Links fans remember a Links course that was near the Utah city of St. George that went out into a old lava field. I believe the course name was ...
