NR2002 Patch Needs a Patch

by Haqsa » Wed, 01 May 2002 09:11:47

I finally had the time to sit down and try the NR2002 patch.  First the
good news - no change in frame rate in D3D (probably because I am using
a Radeon, not a GeForceX).  Now the bad news - I cannot qualify at
Michigan without blowing an engine, and the game freezes after less than
10 laps.  I then tried running the NoCD exe file for the old version,
and it still runs fine - no blown engines, no freezes.  So whatever is
different is in the .exe file, not in any of the other files that were
updated.  So I can race the AI still using the old NoCD, but I cannot
race online now.  I know I am not the only one experiencing freezes with
the new patch.  Back to the drawing board, Papy!

I would try reinstalling the patch, I am not having those problem at all.
Just ran a 20 lap Michigan myself with 3 others practicing and didn't have
any problems, but I am running in OpenGL with a Geoforce. The patch changed
the exe as well so you are missing out on more than just multi probably ...

Are you having 2-3 second screen freezes?

No it froze up solid, requiring a reboot.
