F-Zero GX: Difference between revisions

Jump to navigation Jump to search
(Removing FPRF problem. It is enabled by default, and there has never been any reports of anyone changing game settings to non-defaults and not knowing how to revert the way they do graphics settings. Promoting dual core resets and vsync crashes: severity)
m (Undo revision 115505 by MaJoR (talk) Added FPRF back but towards the bottom of the problem list (like the MMU Speed Hack) but strikethrough. If you still don't want it there, just undo my edit.)

If using a bad dump, custom cars show only the pilot floating in mid air and the main body component. Redump the disc to correct the problem. See {{issue|3240}}.

== Problems ==
 
=== Race Camera and Models Messed Up ===
=== V-Sync Crashes ===
Make sure "Enable FPRF" (i.e. Floating Point Result Flag) is checked in the game settings. Without it, no races will be playable and the game will have very odd behavior throughout.
If V-Sync is enabled, F-Zero GX will inevitably crash at some point early in play, to the point where it's difficult to even complete a race. Make sure V-Sync is disabled to avoid this. Alternatively, for NVIDIA GPUs, Adaptive V-Sync can be enabled and not cause F-Zero GX to crash.

*Starting in {{revision|4.0-651}}, V-Sync is forced on in OpenGL and cannot be disabled. Fixed by {{revision|4.0-994}}.

=== Dual Core Resets ===
When Dual Core mode is enabled, the game may reset randomly. It generally only resets on the first run and plays fine after that, but it may reset in game. It has been tested and is pretty reliable, but it may reset anyway. Use at your own risk. For an absolute fix, uncheck "Enable Dual Core", or for a faster performing fix, check "Synchronize GPU thread" as per gameINI advice.
