TOCA, problem with DirectX v6

4 posts by 4 people · 18 Oct 1998 - 20 Oct 1998

HI, Ever since installing DirectX v6 in order to play Colin McRae Rally, I have been unable to play TOCA. When I get to the Track selection screen, all the tracks are blacked out, it lets me select one, but when I get to the start of the race the PC completely locks up, every time. I have gone through and installed all of the very latest drivers for my graphic cards, sound card, cd rom, but none of this had made any difference. I have also tried reinstalling. My others games run ok ie Quake 2. It is definitely a problem with DirectX 6, because I uninstalled and reloaded DirectX v5 and the game runs fine. My PC spec is: Pentium 200 MMX VX motherboard 256k cache 32 EDO RAM Diamond 3D 2000 2Mb Graphics Orchid Righteous 3DFX Voodoo 4Mb Win95 12speed Creative Infra 1800 CD ROM Drive. Creative AWE64 Value Sound Card.

I don't think so..... I've got a PII 266, w/64meg SDRAM and a Viper V330 4meg 2d/3d video card running DirectX6 and it works fine! Have you tried re-installing ToCA after you loaded DX6 ?

Hi, I had/have the same problem. I reinstalled TOCA and added the patch and it worked after that, tracks are still black though? Bit of a wierd one I think. Im not sure if this is incedental or not but I started a practice session after installing and patching which I thought would stand less chance off crashing. So if that made the difference you know. Good Luck. Cya
I thinks this is the trick: I had to reinstall TOCA after the implementation of DirectX6. --------------------- Regards / Salutations Herv NICOLLE
