The Nascar 4 demo is extremely buggy for me. It locks up every time in d3d
mode. Anyone else here with a Matrox G400 card have any better luck?
(actually I have the G400 Marvel).
I have a G400, worked a treat for me. I've heard the latest 6.10
drivers are buggy, but I have what was beta 6, and know others
with 6.04 and thesea re rock solid.
Incidentally, I'm running 1024 x 768/16 on a P3.550 with no probs.

I tried a multiplayer game last night (couldn't find anyone to join in...)
so I just ran the race myself. I fooled around a lot during the race and
wore my tires down. When this happened the crew chief/spotter went into
this loop playback mode. He started saying "Take it easy you're tires are
getting worn out" and "You're going to need new tires soon" (or something to
that effect) but said one thing before the other was finished.
This carried on indefinately!! Once the race ended I had to exit ASAP
because it had gotten so damn annoying! Has anyone else seen this yet?!
Also, is it just me or does that spotter sound really bad as well? I think
Papy should be calling this an Alpha demo; it seems like there is a lot of
room for improvement.

tech demos usually exhibit far more bugs than a pre-release or post-release demo
considering this game isn't even in the alpha stage yet.

Uhhhh.... there is no such thing as "pre-Alpha". Such statement is a
paradox to the Universe. How can something happen before it's Alpha, before
it's created? ;-)
