An evening with Desert Racing
Well, I bought it nearly a year ago but had no time for a real test ride.
I hope it´s not too slow on my 060! Will check out the update after Amiga finished full installation. Wish me luck |

You'll need it mate! I got about 10fps on my 040/33, that after reducing the detail etc. It was "playable" (in the loosest possible sense).

I bought it in the summer.... judging by the dates on the files it was already updated on the CD.

Well, I tried to get out the best of Desert Racing.
Adjusting the camera, finding a compromise between details and speed, ... Best result is 13 fps (with patch) (I don´t want to play via WinUAE) I don´t understand it. I tried a playable demo of 2000 and it´s much faster! Could it be that the AGA version is faster than the RTG executable? After all I decided to try it again using the cockpit view. |

It would be sad to remember this as the game than ran to slow to be playable

Ralf Schmidt should update it again.
20 fps are possible on 060, I think! |

I think even if you could get it to run quickly there'd be no point playing it as it's one of the worst designed and programmed games I've ever seen. It's a total rip-off to be honest.
