Sorry to bother you, just got NASCAR 4 this weekend (UK/Euro Version), and I
have a problem. The cars in the 3D engine have no textures on them, and
neither do the tracks! I can't seem to find a way to turn the textures on,
and in the mirror whilst driving there ARE track textures, but still not
car. Video card problem possibly, or something I'm missing? My spec is AMD
Athlon 600, 128mb RAM, ATI All in Wonder 32mb Graphics card.

Hope someone can help, cheers.

Weird. I agree that it sounds like a video issue, but N4 does all those
gyrations to test cards before it starts. Try a different resolution and see
what happens?

I had the same problem while running a PIII 450, Voodoo V2 1000. I
upgraded to a Voodoo V5 5500 and a PIII 800 and the problem went away. Not
sure which one did the trick though.

Is that the Raedon ATI AIW card? I have that one and had to go to ATI for
special driver....(4.13.01.7072) I believe it was under special purposae
drivers. Only problem I have now it that when I go back to run N3 the guages
don't have needles...but N4 works fine....in D3D anyway....I have still got
freeze up issues with Open GL...

Yeah, I tried that, and of course the computer was out of warranty one day
after I found the problem! Still, it'll be playable until I get a better
card, runs very quickly anyway!
