Attn Ed: Hawaii Problems

I was trying to log onto Hawaii last night and got in fine. However, when I tried to enter a race I would get all the was to race menu screen and get "Incompatible Track" errors. Then the server would spit me back out to the race scheduler. This happened when I tried to enter races at Dega, C***te, Dover, and Bristol. I reloaded NASCAR Racing late last night, but server traffic kept me from getting through again. I will try again today. If you know the reason this is happening please let me know. Just to let you know I am using Nascar 1.21 and have the track pack. Someone on Hawaii chat suggested that I had altered the track files, but I had not. Only the Dover file to change the track color to look like concrete. Thanks for the help. Jon Villanueva

Jon, You just answered your own question with the next to last sentence. Many people have had problems logging on to Hawaii because of the concrete patch. Alan Bourassa Hawaii - alanweee

Jon, if you send me email and tell me the time at which you tried to enter a race but got these messages, I'll check the server logs and see why you were kicked off. Usually the "incompatible track" message is sent if you have altered the track.txt values for tires, restrictor plate, etc, so if you have ever changed any of these things, you probably won't be able to run those tracks on Hawaii unless you do a clean install of the track.
