What is it with F1RS? I've only just brought it, I've updated it with their patch for my DFX 2 graphics board. BUT IT KEEPS CRASHING!!!! You cannot restart a race when things go disastrously wrong, so you go through the time wasting task of accelerating time only for it to finish with the result sheet locked on my screen. I then have to reboot my computer to start windows again. What a load of CRAP! It even crashes back to windows at random times and during driving circuits the screen momentarily freezes on frequent occasions. At least GP2 was STABLE! What about some stability UBISOFT! I'm not sure whether this is worth my time or effort! Alan

<snip> Alan, Don't give up yet, it's an awsome sim. Have you turned off all backround applications, screensaver, virus scan, etc.? They have been known to boot you back to windows or freeze F1RS. Good luck, it's worth the effort. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caricciola

Yes, don't give up just yet. I can't help you with your problems but I can say that it works silky smooth on my machine and I can't stop playing it! It's fabulous! DobeMan

KERNEL UPDATE FROM MICROSOFT(helps me) or SET win95 SWAP FILE min128mb - max 130mb (make stable too)

There must be a problem with your system. It runs on my system without any problems. Besides you CAN'T find a better F1 sim.
