Yeah that's what I did, except I'm running 32 bit windows xp. I'd think that if I had the wrong driver, every game would mess up wouldn't it? =\

No necessarily since MX Simulator uses OpenGL rather than Direct3D.

That's the one I'm using. Is there any way to test to see if it's the driver or not? Like play a different game with OpenGL instead of direct3D and see if it does the same thing? Or will it do the same thing?

I get a similar error to this while im racing online, with 10-15 people in a server it is impossible to ride even with every graphic setting as low as possible. I also have an ati radeon HD5770 , aswell as a amd phenom 9650 x4 and 4gb of ram, so im not sure why it lags that bad. I recently installed the latest drivers but the error was still there on the older drivers. Also when i am in a server my offset skyrockets and im not sure why it does this.Picture of it below.

The offset is going up because it isn't maintaining at least 10 fps. Not sure why it's running so slow though. When you upgraded the driver did the version number change in the driver info?

That should be a fairly recent driver. It should definitely be running faster than it is.

If you haven't already, try setting the roost frequency to 0.

Thats seems to have worked quite well, currently 10 people in 02 and the fps was flickering from 50 and upwards.
