Hi,

I just bought this game after enjoying the demo immensely, but I am having a
few problems with the game locking up often. I had this problem with the
demo also, but I thought the full version would be fixed up.
It loads fine at the start but when it starts loading the track (after
clicking on 'race') the loading meter stops at about the 80% mark..then the
game locks up...forcing me to reset.

What is strange is that this only occurs sometimes, say one time in 3
attempts, but its very frustrating. When the game works it runs pretty
smooth and all.

Im using a diamond monster V2, with its current drivers (never had any probs
b4), Directx7 is installed.
My system is a p2:400, 128mb Ram, SB AWE64 soundcard.

Does anyone have any opinions on what the prob could be? Is there a patch
available to solve this prob, or is mine an isolated case? Ive never had any
probs whatsoever from any EA game b4.

I hope some1 can help me, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob.

Are you using this set of drivers?  It helped me out with some graphic
problems in the game etc.
