Have installed N2 and everything works perfect in regular SVGA.
However, I have a Reactor card. Things go downhill from there. The program
loads up fine and the menus work. When I click on Race it then says:Could
not load complete track descripition. Needless to to say I'm dying to see
the Rendition version and wonder what's going on.
Any ideas? Eric, Papyrus, Intergraph, or anybody?

If I had the game, I'd be more than happy to help you. I'm waiting
patiently for my direct order to arrive (should be here tomorrow).
Just a little rant here, am I the only one who thinks there should be
some benefit to direct orders? Shouldn't we get the game sooner than
stores? I like how id handled Quake. They made the full version
available from direct order well before the shareware CD showed up in
stores. The way I see it, Sierra should want more direct orders as
they make more money of them (cutting out the middle man). Well, I
guess I'll get off the soapbox now.

So, does the Reactor work with N2?

I have an Intergraph Reactor and it is working fine, although not as
fast as I would have hoped. Which batch file are you running?
N2REND.BAT or RENDDMA.BAT? Are you running from Win95 or from booting
to DOS. I have had best results booting to dos. Also, what bios
version of the Reactor card do you have? I still have the default,
however, some Reactor owners have updated the bios to 73 with a beta
that was available from Intergraph's FTP site, and I have heard of
mixed results. I also did a full install(98Mb) on installation of
Nascar2. Let me know what you find out.

I also stopped doing direct order because it is so difficult to get
your money back if you want to stop the order, or return the product.
I purchased 2 Intergraph Reactor cards that I now have working great,
but because they are impossible to find in any retail stores, I
ordered direct from Intergraph. They arrived promptly which was good,
but I struggled for 2 weeks with tecnical support before I got one of
them working. I was going to send it back but it was going to be such
a hassle, so I kept it and now I'm glad I did. However, I just
recently purchased a Diamond Monster 3D over the Orchid Righteous 3D
only because I could not get a straight answer from Orchid Direct
Order as to when I could expect delivery of the product(they are
backordered) and what the return policy was if I had problems getting
it working or was not satisfied. The Diamond Monster 3D was available
at Computer City which has a 30 day full refund return policy. The
Orchid Righteous 3D like the Intergraph Reactor is virtually
impossible to find in stores, so direct order is the only option.
Fortunately, the Diamond Monster 3D installed easily and is working
great as well.
Enough ranting, back to Nascar 2!

The Reactor works very well with NASCAR 2. I did stumble a bit with the
Windows 95 installation procedure (perhaps because I aborted an initial
complete installation in favor of the minimal installation). I then used
the Sierra utility to complete deinstall the game; went into DOS and
installed the minimal installation without a problem.
Once installed, I ran N2, N2REND, and finally RENDDMA without problems.
Yes it does, and apparently quite nicely.

There is a patch planned to add anti-aliasing just like in ICR2.

You have to have the specific chip set that the N2REND.exe calls for. In
this case it is the "verite" chipset found on Creative LABS 3d blaster PCI
and a few other cards. IN the near future I hope that is will be a more
universal thing than what is at hand currently.

Sorry to not give my system info, but I was in a hurry when posting. I have
a P150 w/16mb. I have tried n2rend and renddma with the same results. Game
starts fine and everything works until I click on Race when a dialog box
appears stating: Could not load complete track description. I am running it
through DOS only and have not changed any BIOS versions or settings on the
card. I did check out the readme file with regard to memory, but it says
that it automatically goes to lower res with 16mb and hi-res with 24mb.
Mine does neither. I would be happy just to see lower res at this point.<G>
Everything works perfect in regular SVGA, but hey after playing Rendition
ICR2 who can be satisfied with that.<G> I'm sure it's something that can or
will be fixable somehow, but any ideas from the group are appreciated.
BTW, I agree with all of you who preordered N2. You folks should have had
it at least a month or so before the rest of us. I always thought that was
the benefit of direct ordering.
