Hello everyone!
I would like to thank you for the help that this forum has given me.
I am playing GPW again and I have been having difficulty using speedup.
I put it in the saves folder but it has no effect on the game.
Appears in the game 500% but has no effect.
What am I doing wrong?
I haven't played this in a long time and I don't remember. I remember that in the past I also had this problem.
Thank you for your help.

If the 500% speedup appear in the game, it should work. try to count the seconds you need for a lap by yourself. Maybe its working but youre not realy feeling it.
A technical reason could be, that your framerate in the race is just so low, that the speedup has of effect and leads to the same speed then before. Is your mouse going like 5 fps?

When you move the mouse, is the cursor heavy lagging? If yes, you have low fps.
So you count 1M05S. if you turn off the speedup, do you get the same time?

Hi guys, So i got speedup (for those wondering, its on the googledrive that is common - its here in the forum), and set it to 500. but the game is still too slow in races. i wanna be hands-on in the race, but dont want to spend 2hrs per race in front of the pc.... does anybody have a solution?  How could I change my fps to make the game faster in races? Best, Alex |

Alex have you tryed the ddraw fix? I dont use the speedup, but my races need at 150% only about one hour, so iam faster without the speedup. for me it sounds like you get - as you already suggested - fps problems. You can download it from my private server: 62.75.211.27/gpw/ddraw.zip unpack, and copy the files into your GPW mainfolder. |

I followed your instructions... now the game won't start anymore I get a black screen and the loading wheel around the mouse cursor goes big (indicating the reduced screen resolution - I get this each time I normally started the game before the FIA logo and the music) but now... nothing happens... it just stays like that with the (bigger) blue loading wheel next to the mouse cursor... |

I have no Idea why this happens. I heared about problems like this before here, too. Do you use a patched .exe with the gpwedit or an original one with compatibility mode?

Dunno...I use the one downloaded from here. Standard issue... the one where you don't have to press gwp_xp, just gwp. I was happy to see it work on win10 without having to go into dxwnd and all these other things.

On MY Pc, switching the race screen helps alot. I loose much FPS in the screen "track conditions". So maybe you should try different screens. Like fastes Lap. I only get a single FPS drop if a car improves there

hmm... interesting. it must be said... the beginning of the races are faster. as the race progresses it gets slower. also, i noticed that WITHIN a lap it is unequal... within the same lap, the game can speed up or slow down. but on average, acrosss the duration of the race it will slow down. i will try different screens.

within the same lap, the game can speed up or slow down. Yeah. In on my PC, it slows down if something happens on the screen. Like: I have fastest lap screen on and a car crosses the line setting a new personal best, i get a FPS drop for some seconds. in the first 4 rounds when everybody improoves alot, i got mega FPS drop like half of the lap |

Very late reply, but the speedup has to be kinda "nudged" before it could work.
Basically set it up to 500%.
Now it appears in game as 500% but it wont run yet.
You have to go into a race then into options menu,
and then click the minus on the race speed so it goes from 500% to 499%.
Now it should work.
Sometimes you have to "nudge" it every time you play another session of gpw so you go to a race then option menu and go to 499% to 498% and so on.
