brittislove: Good day, thank you for posting this (and to other pages on Facebook). I'm trying to follow this step but my Nvidia Controls do not see the program. I tried to look for programs not on my computer, but still do not see Interstay 76. I found Interstate 82 but no luck on Interstate 76 or I-76. Any advice?

I can't beat mission 5 because I get to the ramp at the end and my car physics just say LOL NO DICE SUCKAHHHH

MartyD82: That's very odd. Are you in "Manage 3D Settings" at the "Program Settings" tab? The option to "Add" a program should be there, which should then let you browse your computer for the "i76" executable.
Ahh nm that did it! Still stuck on mission 5, will have to keep experimenting. Maybe gear 2 will help. I have removed nearly all the weight, armor, and weapons that I can drop, car weight is at 3500 but still coming to a near crawl at the jump. I think I can do it, it'll just take persistance and luck. Thank you so much!
what dxwnd setting do I need to get past the menus it was working but now I cant us ethe mouse in any menu not even the title screen lets me click on anything

Bro, back in the days that mission felt like a tutorial for use of the nitrous oxide you find in field salvage in the earlier missions. Install the NO2 canister and use it right before hitting the ramp. You'll be home free, hopefully.

MartyD82: Well, it took more than two decades. But thanks to NVIDIA and ATI cards finally giving you the option to add framerate caps to individual games, the Interstate '76 Arsenal is FINALLY 100% playable on modern PC's with very little extra tinkering (at least, for me). :)

Here's what you do:

1. Get the game from GOG.

2. Create desktop shortcuts for "i76.exe" and "nitro.exe" (you will NOT be playing these games through the launcher), right click and go into "Properties", and add the following command line parameter to the end of the file path: "-glide". Do this for both executables.

3. Also, set them to run in "Windows 98" compatibility mode and with 16-bit color.

4. Go into your video card's control panel, create a special settings file for i76.exe. Turn on all the texture filtering and anti-aliasing options (since we're not using dgVoodoo, the game is stuck at 640x480 resolution) and set the maximum framerate to 20 FPS. Do the same for nitro.exe.

5. This is if you'd prefer to play the game at its original aspect ratio, rather than stretched out to 16:9 or 16:10 (and I highly recommend you do, since stretching the graphics makes them very blurry). In your video card's control panel, turn on GPU scaling (details can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/.../dis.../0/1608274347725261520/)

6. You are now ready to enjoy one of the coolest PC games of the mid-late 90's. A game that, to this day, has never really been duplicated or outshined.
This is interesting, did you try with 24fps instead?

In other pages someone had worked on a patch of the game that limits framerates to 24fps, higher than that there were physics issues:

I thought GoG had integrated that patch since then

Good to know it's possible from inside windows now
