Network Q Rally

Hi all I got Network Q RAC Rally at the weekend and whilst I think it is pretty cool, it keeps crashing. the game will appear to go for the Hard Disk and then just freeze, although II keep saving its still annoying to doo a 20 minute raly and then have it crash? Any suggestions? I have a 4mb 486sx with SB compat card, and I am giving the game as much memory as posssible. gordon

I had the same problem, as did some others (the other four people in the world that bought the gsam :) I had to save my rally after each stage, and if I tried to do more than three stages in a row, it would crash. Perhaps it's a built in feature to prevent me from geeking out in front of the computer for hours at a time, like I do with ICR and WC. I don't think there is a patch. I think you just have to live with it. Hmmm... maybe I'll load up the game again, just to hear the co-driver shout "NOOOooooooo!" one more time as I barrel roll down the road. Stephen

I also have a 486sx25 with 4Mb and it would crash even using a boot disk. The only way I was able to get enough free base memory was to run QEMM. It doesn't crash at all now (although I still do!). There is also a patch available that doubles the joystick range and makes it more controllable. Now if I would just get an overdrive chip and a T1, I'd be set! Steve

Would anyone know the location of the mentioned patch? Thanx Gary W. Mahan

I have a 486sx/33 4Meg memory SB compatable card. Going by the other posts I've seen, most of us have problems - anyone know of a patch?? But Looks can be Deceiving

[snip] This may help, when I got a sb, it started crashing, no probs until then, I did find that launching with 'ral m' to kill menu music helped,it usualy cured the probs. The final cure was when I upped my memory to 8Mb. I didn't get any error messages at any time, just a hang. Hope this helps.

NO NO NO NO and NO!!!! It is the worst driving model I've seen!!!!

>> > Q rally... >> Is this a decent model of driving ala Indycar or Nascar? I would love > NO NO NO NO and NO!!!! > It is the worst driving model I've seen!!!! Got to agree here, but it may be the worst but it is still extremely good fun! OK so the car goes where it wants but you can get a good buzz when you slide round a corner 40 miles faster that you can normally take them for no apparent reason. Also the sound if perfect complete with co-dirver shouting instructions Gordon

I have to agree no that one with you. Since this is the only rally sim I know of today, we cannot really judge the game I guess. Speak up if I'm wrong. :) Dave.

Someone mentioned a patch to make the joystick less twitchy. Where can I find this? Stephen
