New Track Problem in N2003

by Timmy Ferrel » Tue, 30 Dec 2003 01:13:09

I just dl'd several of the new road tracks for N 2003 from the USpits.com. I
started with the 2 Sebring version ( Day and Night). They installed fine but
when I went to test them out I found that the tracks would not load with
Computer opponents. I ran several laps on both tracks in practice session
but can't run off-line races. I haven't tried on-line. I drove the Touring
Car mod from the US PITS and even tried changing car sets but still with no
luck.
    I backed up everything prior to installation some no harm done if I have
to start over again. I dl'd several other tracks as well (Road America, Lime
Rock, LeMans) but I want to get this sorted out first.

I've also gotten a physical dump memory error a couple of times. Don't know
if it's related or not.
Also running XP home edition

   I have had no problems with the addon tracks.  To verify I just loaded a tptcc race
at Sebring with 35ai cars.  It loaded and ran practice and then I skipped ahead to the
race and that also worked fine.  
   First I would verify that you have the latest version, v1.4 and next I'd double check
that it was unzipped properly.  into tracks/sebring, not tracks/tracks/sebring

tracks/tracks/sebring

Checked the Version and it  was 1.4....file checks out ok too...Sebring and
Sebring Night are in the file with the rest of the tracks and not in a
sub-folder...Both Sebrings show up in the Records menu in my game..
I just can't seem to run the tracks with the AI cars...
Havnet tried on-line yet...
Could it be the 64MB video card? It tries to load it but can't find so that
doesn't sound like the solution to me, but I'm far from an expert on this
stuff...
Thanks again in advance..

   My only guess then would be you may have your graphic settings too high for
your video card.  Try adding a few cars at a time, say 5 then 5 more for 10 then
5 more...keep doing that til the track won't load.  That will at least give you a
benchmark barrier.
  next try reducing the amount of cars seen and other graphic options.  I haven't
heard of anyone else complaining about the tracks not loading and for sure, there
are plenty of 64meg vid card users out there.  Good luck.
