I have a problem with N4 crashing after a minute or so when run in openGL mode, If I run in D3D mode it is fine just a lot slower frame rate (half as fast as OpenGL). Computer Piii 800, 196 Mram, ATI 64Mddr Radeon. Before I installed radeon I used voodoo 3 in same system, no crashes just a lot slower. I have already installed latest drivers for vid card.

I'm having the same problem. I found this discussion thread on www.rage3d.com which tells how to cure it: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=15590 I haven't had a chance to try this yet, I just found it a few minutes ago, but basically it involves putting the opengl dll file from the 7041 drivers into the Nascar 4 directory. If I get the time I will try it tomorrow and let you know how it works. Or if you try it and it works for you, please post.

Thanks for the tips! I run a radeon 64 ddr as well, my system is a duron800 @1gig in an abitkt7a with 256 Mb of cas 2 memory... so OK,this tip seems to have stopped the locking, but can anyone tell me how to fix the 'transparent track' problem? In-car I see right through the track about 50 yards in front and behind..... I can see the backgrounds beyond the turn right through the track! Seems like it's not drawing the track textures? I've got all the detail up trackside objects to all 100% world detail etc... I'm running the new 103 drivers, but had this problem when I was running the 075 drivers too, that's why I've been running N4 in d3d up until this ogl tip surfaced... Can anyone give me some help? Hopefully someone who's had this and fixed it :-)) . jv. "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zJFO6.97838$[email hidden]...

Disable Heirarichal-Z (sp?) in the driver settings. If you haven't, goto www.rage3d.com and download one of the Radeon tweakers to adjust all the different settings and overclock the card. :-) In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...
