Dear netters,
I used the nocdrom/cs97 patch that I got off the net, and when I got a
new machine (p133k5/32mb) gp2 started crashing on me, mostly when my
car gets airborne due to some accident. The screen freezes and the
sound enters a loop. The problems seems to be present in SVGA mode
only.
I suspected the patch to be at fault and re-installed the game from
scratch, using the supplied gp2.exe, but the problem is still
there. I'm using the german version (1.0b).
Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a solution for it?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Uwe

Finally, even without any overclocking, I got several crashes at
Estoril, when hitting another car or something like that...
It's not the proc :(
I also use the cs97 but not the nocdrom, and it's the french version.
No solution yet...

Have you made sure the soundcard was setup/recognized properly? Maybe
run the setup and choose no sound and see if that helps to isolate the
prob.
...just a quick thought
Good Luck

no-cdrom patch, and I am also overclocking my P75 to P90... maybe the
patch is not error proof.
