"Nascar 4" - Graphics Problems :( Please Help

Hi everyone, We just purchased Nascar 4 and we're experiencing a problem. We have our graphics set to: Direct3D, 640X480X16. ((Also tried all the other settings. We also have DirectX 8 installed.)) however when we go to race, the track isn't drawing in front of the car. As we drive past the undrawn part of the track, it will then appear. We have Nascar 3, and have never experienced this problem with Nascar 3 on the same computer :( Is there anyone that could give us some input on what we could do to correct this? Thanks! Jay

In the graphics options, make sure the "drawing" slider is not all the way to the left. Don't know for sure but this might be the problem. Mike

It would help if you mentioned what video card you're using. -- Eric "Jay - Alcoholic1" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:umSl6.230668$[email hidden]... > We have our graphics set to: Direct3D, 640X480X16.

Sounds notoriously like not having the latest video driver, but since you don't say which card you have, it's difficult to know exactly. Cheers, Rod.

What kind of system are you running? What version of Windows, What Kind of processor, how much RAM, what kind of video card and which drivers... Did you do a full install, or not? Without knowing anything else, I'd guess it's a video memory or system resource issue... Regards, Jay J "Jay - Alcoholic1" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:umSl6.230668$[email hidden]...

Bingo! 8mb vid card....while not a Doctor, I'd say your suffering from texture-overrunitis. You'll be able to run N4...but will you be able to run it well? dave henrie
