rFactor problem after patch

The Formula cars now lock up the game when I select them, but the F3's work fine. Anyone else have this problem? I swear this has been the buggiest game I have ever installed!

When I first installed the patch, I got crash after crash just trying to select a car. I went and blitzed everything, erased it all, and got the new main file. It's been updated to v1.040 as well, so after installing that, you won't need the patch. I have to admit...I haven't touched the FIS cars since well before the patch, but all the problems I was having with the other cars got fixed. Another user in my league had similar difficulties and his too cleared up after a complete non-patch re-install. Dave Henrie

yep, that was it. I actually found it out on my own and was going to report it here, but it looks like I'm too late.. I still need to get a newer video card, I'm still looking at a 9800pro or a 6600gt, not sure which one to go with..

The patch cleared up my CTD problem but I lost some FPS. A problem alot of ATI X800 users are having. Doug D On Mon, 31 Oct 2005 18:04:06 -0600, Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote:
