need Nascar help please

5 posts by 5 people · 29 Apr 1996 - 02 May 1996

When loading a new car set the new car set must be in its own directory withing the cars directory. \nascar\cars\(carsetX) In addition, the name of the directory must be the same as the name on the carset.dat file. For example if the carset is called cars96.dat, the directory must also be named cars96. Also the original cars94 must be there as well. Check to see if the names match and it should fix your problem. My game crashed a few times befor I discovered this. M. Roberts Chapel Hill, NC

I was loading a car set when my computer crashed. Every time I try to load the game, I get an unable to load CARS message. Is there an easy way to fix this problem without reinstallation? Thanks for any help, Jeremy

I had the same problem and I reinstalled Nascar en masse, later I figured out that it was a misnamed directory. Make sure that your multicar set is in the following directory "C:\nascar\cars\multicar". Also make sure that you run Hawaii from inside the Nascar directory, not a sub directory.

I have had this same problem when I inadvertantly changed the file name when that set was loaded in the game. By changing the file name back, I was able to correct this problem. Jerry
