Everyone is going to need your computer specs in order to help ya dude.
What Video card and drivers are you running, Motherboard and sound card the
whole shmeel. Include what resolution you have and what your graphics
settings you chose, I guess you have not even got that far though huh?
Anyhow give up all that info and someone will hopefully be able to give ya a
hand.
I do not have and will not buy this because it has no***pit view. Plus
its EA. Might get it for the kids to use on the X-Box though.

"Go Underground". When I choose the "Go Underground" option the game plays a
short cut-scene, then goes black for a few seconds, then crashed to the
desktop without displaying an error message of any kind. What is happening?
How do I fix this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

follows: AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.0ghz, Gigabyte GA-7DXC Motherboard, 512MB
266mhz DDR RAM, Radeon 9500 Pro(with newest drivers), Sound Blaster Live,
Windows XP Pro, DirectX 9.0b. I think that just about covers it. I can run
in quick race mode with a beautiful fps and the graphics turned up almost
full(I'm sure I could max them and still be fine it runs so well) so I don't
understand why it would not work in "Go Underground". I have tried several
different graphics settings, but it still crashes to desktop when I try to
"Go Undeground". This is really weird. Any ideas?

I have Call of Duty and keep getting the system hang crap. The hot fix is
now the new 3.10 drivers, but then Nascar 2003 season does not get as good
of frame rates as the 3.9 CAT's do. I hope ATI can get the video driver
program to where it needs to be.

I thought the Plan was for Microsoft to provide the API's (DirectX), the
Card Manufacturer to tie it's card into those API's, and the Game writers to
do the same. That way everything should be transparant and interchangeable
without all this program-specific nonsense, which is exactly what DirectX is
supposed to get rid of.
Maybe that vision is a bit Utopic :)

Go back to 3.7 then. They work fine for everything I throw at it,
including CoD and NR2003.

That is a rather silly attitude to have considering its a very FUN ARCADE
game - also the fact that when you finally upgrade your car to the
highest point (hell even when it isnt) the game would be FAR too
difficult to play with the obstructive viewpoint a***pit would provide,
seeing that nigh-on lightspeed is the speed reached - and you wouldnt
be able to see most of the lush lush graphics !
this game is arcade through and through and it is unrealistically fast -
there is nothing SIM about this game and most ppl who play it on x-box
and manage to win races, play it with 3rd person (car) view, so
they can see the traffic coming and better judge corners etc
when using a wheel, a bit of tweaking
or something needed here, i nearly wrench the wheel off the
desk trying to turn so quickly, then realising its meant to be
played with a joypad if u really wanna get anywhere in it -
it just that i find the game so much fun with a wheel...
Plus
I suspect that there are two main reasons for no***pit view, one minor,
and one major. The minor one is to get people to look at the car (which,
admittedly, you can't do from the bumpercam, but still)...
The major one; I doubt the liscensees would have been happy with a generic
***pit, and the effort to do ump*** different***pits was judged too
much.
That, and as an arcade racer, the***pit isn't that important :)
No kidding. And now that ATI and nVidia have decided their drivers will
re-write/re-configure a game's pixel- and vertex-shaders on the fly (in
order to get better benchmark scores), we can expect even more game-specific
patches. Sigh.
