Gran Turismo 4: "Ready" stays on screen all race

[chrisjfinlay]

I couldn't see any info about this, but I noticed that in 1.4.0, using GSdx (Direct 3D11 Hardware Mode), the "Ready" text remains at the bottom of the screen after a race starts, obscuring the recommended gear display. I can live with it, but wondering if anyone else has seen this? I've not tried any other modes.

I also noticed that the time difference between you and another car doesn't show. It shows the car image but the numbers are missing...

Go to Config > Emulation Settings > EE/IOP tab, and set Clamping Mode to "Full". This will fix both of your issues.

Looks like that did the trick, thanks! Any dangers to using Full Clamping, stability for other games etc?

Yes, it can affect other games, and potentially cause issues. You should turn it off when you're done playing GT4.

I thought full clamping was set automatically if you have auto gamefixes on? I guess this is a weird version.

No, it's not his version. The EE clamping in the GameIndex file has been commented out for all GT4 versions.

oh right, i guess people weren't sure how to turn it off to do the licenses.

I can confirm that this works. Thank you.
