MOTO RACER -MY FINAL VERDICT-

Well I finally figured out what the heck was wrong, for some reason the
FULL version of MOTO Racer doesnt like the Direct3d of my MATROX MILLENIUM
II. the strange thing is this.

I have to remember to turn D3D OFF in the options menu before I exit the
game, if I forget then the game will dump me out to windows at the "ENTER
YOUR NAME" screen. then what happens is I must use the
-noD3D command line operator, this allows me to at least enter the
game(DIRECT3d is NOT DETECTED), then I exit the game....and direct3d is OFF
when I go to options, but I can turn it ON as long as I remember to turn it
OFF before I quit!

I dont know what anyone else thinks but this is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE Arse!!!
THE GAME WORKS 100% perfect with D3D ON! So I don't know what all this bull
$hiznit is about.

Anyways I'm getting a Monster3d soon (As soon as it gets here) and that
should solve this junk I hope, otherwise I hope EA makes some sort of
patch.

p.s. Anyone up for a Internet race? hehe I'm not very good yet :-)

its annoying the hell out of me. because I always forget to go to options
and turn D3D off before I exit the game.

But strange thing is is that the DEMO NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS!
