Running Wipeout 2097/XL in Windows 8.1

[NegitiveNRG]

Works Aybe Thank ya fo tha share!
I tested, and the speed bug does not exist in multiplayer. I used the IPX patch from my post, ran NET-WOXL.EXE selected IPX and bob's your uncle. you can fly solo in this mode.
tcp/ip may work as well.
there are many band-aid fixes for insane fps, but it depends on your card. nvidia and amd both have frame limiting software these days thankfully, homework required (cards differ).
dgvoodoo using the MS API fixed my troubbled machine, AmdA4/ RADEON7400G /win7-64
WipeoutXL can play on all of my modern machines now Woot =)
maybe now someone will challenge me ? cheers - (message for my steam id)

Edit-- frame limiter for Radeon Cards: http://www.radeonpro.info/
under tweaks, dynamic framrate control, set to 29. Single player = flawless

Edit (again)-- frame limiter for Nvidia Cards: http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/nvid...ownload,4.html
dgvoodoo was not needed for my nvidia.

Ps- to stop random crashing, dont use the speed fixed EXE aka No-cd exe aka the 1024x768 resolution executable. Use the Originally Installed Wipeout2.exe.

one more thought to leave on..
i use a logitech cordless rumblepad 2 by default in game the throttle is punched. happens in many dual analog type pads.
the fix to this is to set the control type to keyboard only in game, then use a gamepad profile software to mimic keyboard strokes.
I started with the Logitech gamepad software profiler, but found annoying lag in gamepad. Easy to notice playing XL..
then i turned to "x360ce" + "Controler Compainion" (found on steam) made my profile and was off to the races.
Cheers
