Hi, I have a strange problem. I have ICR2 patched to version 1.02 and both original tracks and the converted NASCAR tracks. I have noticed now that I am starting to get funny behaviour with my realism options settings. One moment I am running with realistic damage and the next moment the damage setting is changed to NONE. I notice this when I slide into the wall and bounce off!! ie the game seems to be changing the setting on its own. Has anybody else seen this problem?

I had this happen before also. I thought I was daft...well, I am, but that's another story. =P I only saw this during modem play, but since it's been over a year since I've seen it, I can't remember if there was a solution, or if it mattered on the version of the game. I would assume that it's a random event somewhere in the 1% range. Cheers! Marc Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing Online / Sim Racing News / The Sim Project http://members.aol.com/simracing

Hi Mark! Yes, it's happened to me a number of times, the most recent of which was this morning when I was practising for an IEC racing league race. I can't work out whether the change occurs whilst racing, or whether it's only apparent when you return to the options menu. At one point I thought I had it 'sussed out': if you leave a race or test session when the car is damaged, then the setting returns to none when you check the menu or start another race or test session. Now I'm not too sure, as I haven't really been 'tracking' the bug. The best advice seems to be to check that the damage setting is set to the right level before starting any new race or practice. As I say, whether it changes as you are racing, or after you exit, I'm not sure. Cheers! Mark 'Damon' Gill "Only rock can save us now!" http://gillcomp.demon.co.uk/damon.htm O==-O\
Yes. I see it using the Rendition Ready version. I never noticed it before, but I didn't race much on my 486; it's not much fun to race in empty grandstands at 10 frames/sec. I have raced pretty much exclusively at Indy, and that's the only place I've noticed it. Were you also on a converted track? >Rgds/Mark >-- >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---- Jonathan Bishop
