Attn Ed: Hawaii Problems

by jc.villanu.. » Wed, 24 Jul 1996 04:00:00

I was trying to log onto Hawaii last night and got in fine.  However,
when I tried to enter a race I would get all the was to race menu screen
and get "Incompatible Track" errors.  Then the server would spit me back
out to the race scheduler.  This happened when I tried to enter races at
Dega, C***te, Dover, and Bristol.  I reloaded NASCAR Racing late last
night, but server traffic kept me from getting through again.  I will try
again today.  If you know the reason this is happening please let me
know.  Just to let you know I am using Nascar 1.21 and have the track
pack.  Someone on Hawaii chat suggested that I had altered the track
files, but I had not.  Only the Dover file to change the track color to
look like concrete.  Thanks for the help.

  Jon,

   You just answered your own question with the next to last sentence.
  Many people have had problems logging on to Hawaii because of the
  concrete patch.

Jon, if you send me email and tell me the time at which you tried to enter
a race but got these messages, I'll check the server logs and see why you
were kicked off.  Usually the "incompatible track" message is sent if you
have altered the track.txt values for tires, restrictor plate, etc, so if
you have ever changed any of these things, you probably won't be able to
run those tracks on Hawaii unless you do a clean install of the track.
