JFcarset crashes GPL

I have to admit to not playing GPL for a few months... Anyway, now I'm back, I have a problem with the newly installed JFcarset. Everything runs fine before this is installed BTW. But watching one of my favorite replays with the new carset installed, GPL just freezes within seconds of starting the replay, although the sound continues. I cannot ctrl-alt-del out, and have to restart the machine. Go back to the previous car67 setup and things return to normal, just without the pretty cars ;-) The same thing happens whether I run with the JF 3d wheels or not, so it seems to be related to the car textures? Checked all the usual stuff- IRQ sharing, running cpu and graphics at default Mhz, bios settings etc.etc. My setup is: ECS K7S5A MB 256Mb DDR Duron 800 (usually at 1067) V3 2000 (usually at 166) w. 1.07 drivers SB Live w LW3.0 MS FFB Wheel Anyone got any ideas for a solution (other than just running the normal car textures...)?

Installing all those addons is quite sensitive - one little error in one car and you have a big chance gpl will crash. The best way to figure out -which- car is causing the problems is to choose one car, drive a couple of laps with it, watch the replay, and see if GPL crashes. Do this with all the other cars.. The JF carset -does- work perfect, I and many other people use it. Let me know if you can't get it working right - in the worst case I can upload my carset for you if you can provide the webspace.

Good point Leo, I was mistaken.. when something is wrongly installed, GPL gives a 'could not load track' error, even if the problem is with one of the cars. When GPL freezes and the sound continues that indeed seems to be an overheating problem.. what kind of card have you got Neil? Andre > >Bye, >Leo >

And ofcourse you did mention your gfx card in your post - I should stop posting at 3:30am :-/ V3 card.. yup. had the same problems with my v3 card, not enough texture memory to handle all the fancy updates. Solution: buy a GF2 GTS, they're getting cheaper every day :) Andre / off to bed for a hardly needed sleep >> >>Bye, >>Leo >>

My system also freezes with the sound on with the JFcarset installed. With 3D wheels it freezes immediately. With 2D wheels it didn't lock up until I crashed the car. Pentium III 800 ATI Radeon AllinWonder W2k Jone.

I have this problem (freeze with sound continuing) with JFcarset too with the 3D wheels. However if I turn off images in the mirror. It doesn't freeze. Athlon 1.2GB ATI Rage 128 32MB Win98SE

Did you try George Smiley's Glide patch? http://home.swbell.net/gmsmiley/ The jf carset wouldn't work on my Voodoo3 without it. cheers, Cyrille "Neil Everett" <[email hidden].> a �crit dans le message news: %utU7.8533$[email hidden]...
