F1-2001 Desktop Crash

by Tom Pabs » Tue, 19 Mar 2002 15:40:57

After installing the new 2002 season update (don't remember which
one).....Quick Race, Grand Prix selections cause
crash to desktop as soon as the "track" loads.  It doesn't matter which
track, nor which car I'm driving....and "test sessions" load and run
fine....no matter which track or car.  What's wrong?

I thought I saw a fix for this here....but now I can't find it.

Any suggestions?

Tom

PS:  Both EA update patches are installed.

Hi!

Havent installed it myself yet but here might be the solution for your
problem (cut&paste from f12001.com):

driver names and destroyed Prost team, when you want to start a race,
BOOING! it jumps to desktop and you can't race . Although you see all
the cars and names OK in the driver select menu.

The Solution is:

- Go to the map of BAR
- Open bar.hdv (in texpad or something like that)
- And than change TireBrand=bridgestone in TireBrand=generic

That's all.

Have fun with playing the game "

Cheers,
LM
