Help : F1RS only runs for max 3-4 laps

(2nd post) Hello ! Can someone please help me get F1RS run on my machine. I'm only able to drive for 3-4 laps (in any mode) before F1VOO.EXE crashes with the same error messages. (Invalid page fault in module WAVX2BVR.DLL at at 0157:01704c84) . I've tried everything eg set min/max vcache to 4096 set min/max swapfile 128/132 change Default=WAVX2 to WAVPW in [DLL_Sxd] --- (in this case, the error message just change to module WAVPWBVR.DLL) make a full installation in the same drive as Win95 run F1RS with the minimum details available but still the same thing happens. The only way to make it work is for me to delete snd_cpa.ini , ie without any sound at all. So what the hell is wrong wit my copy of F1RS. All my other 3DFX games (Turok, Tomb Raider, Longbow2) run without any glitches at all. Could it be the Ensonic AudioPCI ? Anyone with similar card around ?

Seeing as the problem only occurs when you have sound enabled, that would (as you have guessed) seem like a good place to start looking <g> OK, you've got a very recent driver, but it is designated as 'beta'. Maybe it has some bugs in it? Can you get hold of an older, non-beta driver and see if that helps. If not, a report of the bug to Ensoniq might help them fix the bug before they make the current driver a full release version. Cheers, Richard
