GP2 Forum

Whenever I try to play GP2, the screen goes black and nothing will let me exit. It works with DOSBox, but is quite slow (and even slower with GP2Lap) and i have to use low graphics settings or it runs slow with over 100% processor occupancy. I am using Windows XP if that helps. Can anyone help?

Also, F1GP and other DOS games do work, it just seems to be a problem with GP2. All of the user made tracks also seem to make it run slower.

Did you try VDMSound? DosBox is also very slow on my computer (WinXP). Try this tutorial http://grandprix2.de/wissen/gp2_xp/gp2_xp2.html if you haven't tried yet.

You must do some .conf adjustments for DOSBOX and everything will be okay. Also you can run GP2 with more than 6 000 fps.

Anyway for me everything is fine.

Tried that with gp2lap and it didn't work. Black screen and then an error message saying that i must restart. I haven't tried with normal gp2, partly because I don't want to get another error.

I have changed cycles to max in the config before, but it still is quite slow. I think it is just my slow computer...

Can´t you run it without DosBox? Try to use VDMSound and run it normally in Windows. Surely the black screen is because of the sound. Did you configure the sound within the game setup?

I have a new computer now so it works in DOSBox with under 100% PO at full graphics settings
But now gp2edit doesn't work, it says that it is not compatible with the version of windows that i am running. I am using windows 7 now.

edit: I found the download on this site, it works now! .

Thanks everyone for helping!
