Re: Problems with F12000

I'm assuming you've already patched it to version 1.06. Sometimes I get kicked to the desktop if Fraps is running. >I have bought F12000 , but for some strange reason each time I try to enter >a quick race/gp/test I get thrown back to the desktop.

This is a toughy. It might be a problem with your soundcard/setup/software. Try turning the sound options to the lowest quality. I would also recommend putting your desktop to 640x480x16bit color and setting the game to use 640x480 as well. After you get it working, turn stuff back on one click at a time until it crashes again. Jason.

Hi Harjan, I guess you have already tried to install one of the non-tobacco cars and / or track patches and made a mistake when repackaging the .mas files... just a guess - I may be wrong. But if that's the case, then just reinstall the game and be very careful when installing modifications. cheers, Alex

How could you make these points if you cannot even run the game? To fix your problem I guess I should suggest the obvious re-install the video driver thing... -- [email hidden]

I have bought F12000 , but for some strange reason each time I try to enter a quick race/gp/test I get thrown back to the desktop. I have a Voodoo3 3000, DirectX 7.0a installed. Could anybody help me out?

Greg - actually, he said: Could somebody tell me whether F12000 really improved that much with the all those patches. I borrowed it from a friend the moment it came out and played it for about half a week and really hated it. The track modelling and AI were just so bad. I had my doubts over the physics as well, the driving just seemed too much of a reaction game. I always had that same feeling with MGPRS2 but now after really studying some onboard footage I feel the grooved tires and the brakes have changed F1 driving more than I realized. These guys are not driving through corners any more, they just slam the brakes really late, turn the wheel a bit keep the revs constantly low (around 11 ,000 rpm), put the car straight and then hit the throttle. They just don't drive through the corners. So if GP3 is realistic we can be sure we'll have the same kind of driving, a kind of driving I don't like. To get through the time waiting for GP3 I'm now thinking of buying F12000, but only if the AI has improved significantly . The track modelling I would have to live with, but I just can't stand bad AI. Maybe you should reconsider your career as a detective.

There were problems with some FF drivers. Have you got a Ferrari FF? If so, then try with FF switched off. If it doesn't crash you back to the desktop, then install the earlier Guillemot drivers.

I was the same one yes, I borrowed the copy from a friend remember. At the time I had only Windows 2000 installed so I had to use my housemate (?roommates?) computer which is setup completely different. I've reinstalled Livewarez 3.0 and now it works sometimes.

I'm afraid I can't help you out, other than to say that I'm experiencing exactly the same problem - the only way I can drive f1200 is to select the Test Day option. Maybe by comparing systems we can find some common elements which may be the cause of the problem... My system: PIII 450MHz 128MB RAM Win98 SE Voodoo 5 5500 (Latest driver) AWE 64 (Latest driver) MS Sidewinder FF Wheel I've tried: * Reinstalling the game * Reinstalling sound/video drivers * Software mode * Direct3D mode * Killing off all other software before playing * Disabling the sound card The only thing I can think of to try now is re-installing Windows... I've sent an email to [email hidden] about this, but as yet have had no reply. :( Cheers, Dave. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

By installing Livewarez 3.0 I've reduced the frequency, bit it still happens. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8iqg68$4et$[email hidden]...

I suspect it was probably some interaction between either the game, direct x, or my voodoo 5 drivers and something left on the system from a previous game/directx/driver.

I think the site I got it from said to put the zip file into the main f1 2000 folder and unzip. So yeah, I guess you could just copy the new files over the old ones. Tom
