"Nascar 4" - Graphics Problems :( Please Help

by Jay - Alcoholic » Mon, 26 Feb 2001 02:40:42

Hi everyone,

We just purchased Nascar 4 and we're experiencing a problem.

We have our graphics set to: Direct3D, 640X480X16.  ((Also tried all the
other settings.  We also have DirectX 8 installed.)) however when we go to
race, the track isn't drawing in front of the car.  As we drive past the
undrawn part of the track, it will then appear.

We have Nascar 3, and have never experienced this problem with Nascar 3 on
the same computer :(

Is there anyone that could give us some input on what we could do to correct
this?

Thanks!
Jay

In the graphics options, make sure the "drawing" slider is not all the way to
the left.  Don't know for sure but this might be the problem.

It would help if you mentioned what video card you're using.

Sounds notoriously like not having the latest video driver, but since
you don't say which card you have, it's difficult to know exactly.

Cheers,
Rod.

What kind of system are you running? What version of Windows, What Kind of
processor, how much RAM, what kind of video card and which drivers... Did
you do a full install, or not?

Without knowing anything else, I'd guess it's a video memory or system
resource issue...

Regards,

Sorry guys :)

We're running:
IBM Aptiva 550 mhz
Intel Pentium 3
128 mb of SDRAM
NumberNine SR9 - 8MB Video Card
Yes, did a full install :)

Also, we downloaded driver updates from IBM and NumberNine's website,
however that didn't seem to correct the problem :(

Hope we can get this solved :)  Thanks for all of the help!
Sincerely,
Jay

    Bingo!   8mb vid card....while not a Doctor, I'd say your
suffering from texture-overrunitis.
  You'll be able to run N4...but will you be able to run it well?
