SCGT - PLEASE HELP!

SCGT - PLEASE HELP!

by Arturo Veg » Wed, 05 Jul 2000 04:00:00

I've been playing SCGT alot lately, somehow the American Le Mans and the Le
Mans race have managed to get me a lot into Sports Cars recently (still an
F1 and CART fan, but LM cars and races have an special attractive).

The experience has been great but very frustrating at times. My SCGT keeps
crashing all the time!!!! I'm using new cars dl'ed from good sites, and even
with the proven ALMS 99 carset, or with cars from ALMS 2000. I then tried
using the alldash2 (installed properly) but again, same problem.

The problem is: When I start a race I start seeing triangles and other
figures flying around randomly and when the green light comes, the game just
freezes. In other races it works ok, but then when I exit the race the game
just crashes (exits without saving the results of the race in the season).

I want to race seasons, using the ALMS cars, specially the open***pit cars
like the Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Lola, Panoz, etc.

Another question is: how can you choose which cars you want to have in the
season? The only way I can do it now is trial and error (try once, see which
cars are in the season, if I like it I play it, otherwise I keep trying
until I get the cars I want).

I have all the latest patches. The problem doesn't occur when I only use the
game's regular cars.

Thanks for your help, I really want to enjoy SCGT using my hyperstim... :-)
(I have many other racing games but they are on hold until I fix this issue
with SCGT).

  It sounds like you have a corrupted car file in there somewhere.  try
moving all the new cars to a safe folder and test the cars by adding one and
racing.  If nothing goes wrong, move another car from the safe folder.  Keep
checking until the symptoms return...that is the bad car.
