Help..

I friend of mine told me that there is help for people who bought their
copy of nascar before getting matrox milleniums, and are stuck with a
version of nascar which is unoptimised for their graphics card.

Is there a patch which will upgrade nascar 1, to play hand in hand with
the matrox millenium card.

Any help will be VERY much appreciated.

Go to http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/ftp_mutl.htm and download NASCAR.ZIP.
It will produce a NASCAR.EXE that is optimized for the Millennium. I
experienced about a 25% frame rate improvement will all detail on. Note
that you cannot use this on Hawaii.

Well that is interesting.  I have the original Matrox version that came
with the card, and I can run on Hawaii.  Are you sure you aren't doing
something else different???

Hawaii uses Multi.exe , not nascar.exe . There are no accelerated
features in multi.

I have heard that the specially optimised version of Nascar Racing for
the Matrox Millenium Card will not run with the Track Pack. I think I
read this on Sierra/Papyrus Web site. I could be wrong since my memory
has been jarred since kicking-ass at Talledaga. Has anyone else heard
this or had experiences?

Duke, perhaps that was an earlier release of the Matrox version, I have
had absolutely no problems with the Track Pack.

Sam, go to:

http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/ftp_mutl.htm

and download NASCAR.ZIP. When you start the game, you'll notice that the
version number is MX-1.21!

There is a patch, on mga's site to fix ability to use carsets. it seems
to be the whole .exe you copy over your copy that Installed of the cdrom
"Mega pack" version 1.02.  I have not had the supposed problems with
carsets, but I have only added cars 96 & Trucks 96 sets.  Track pack is
fine as far as I know, unless it secretly had replaced the nascar.exe
that came with my MGA millenium CD.  In which case I might have fixed
by  putting the new nascar.exe from the site?
Hope I was helpfull?!
