2nd try: help needed GPL crashes

by Graham.Hea.. » Wed, 06 Jun 2001 20:31:39

Help, I recently started running GPL again, but it crashes when I try to
start a single (player) race.

I can run fine in practice but when I try to start a single-race it
hangs whilst drawing the cars in pit-lane.

I have managed to run one race with 5 opponents but after I tried to
increase the number of opponents it started crashing and now it won't
run even with 5.

I have a PIII 800 mhz with 128MB and a Voodoo 5500.  I use a Logitech GP
FF.  I am running the UK version of the game with patch 1.2 that is
1.2.0.1 and Directx 7.0

I am also using a nocd patch.  I need the nocd patch because the cd copy
protection won't run on my cd-player (Yamaha cdr).  For the same reason
it wouldnt run with the new cpufix patch.

I can get a race to start in software mode.  I have tried removing
absolutely all details but it still crashes as it draws the cars in Pit
lane

I have also tried a complete reinstall to new directory from the
(original) cd.

Anyone have any ideas?

regards
Graham

Have you tried it with FSAA turned off?
