Same problem here. I am worried about the final release but it won't stop
me from buying it to find out. I was going to hunt for the warez version
just to see if it would run on my system but I thought, what the heck, I am
getting a new computer in the next couple of months anyhow so I will wait
for final release. There was no guarantee that the warez version would
work in its current form and it really seems like no one knows where i came
from and when it was built.
To be honest, I am not sure what version of the demo I have tried. I tried
a version from the UK site and the version on the PCGamer disk. Both ***
out on my current system. I am running 98 and do all of the stuff I thought
you had to do but it won't get me to the driving screen. My machine locks
up real good, sound flipping out. Sometimes I can get to the desktop and my
mouse will hardly move at all. I had a hunch that it might be a) an
interrupt problem although 98 doesn't detect one or b) my ACM gamecard/T1
combo. I really have no idea. I tried for about 3 hours to get both demos
to run last week and no dice.
I also have to mention that when I was running 95, I could run the game
ONCE, right after the installation. It would run perfectly, smoothly etc. I
was able to get to 1:13's at the Glen etc. The second time I started it up,
the sound was garbled, the car didn't move and I would eventually lock up.
I don't have high hopes for this one, but eventually I will have a system
that will run it. I hope that the manual is a good one to keep me happy
until my new computer arrives (PII450, 128mb, Monster2 :-) ). It may be a
relatively long wait.
Cheers,
J.
