NFS3 locks after 1 race

4 posts by 4 people · 15 Nov 1998 - 17 Nov 1998

I have to back out to windows and start the game again every time or else it locks up after loading the next race. Doesn't matter if I don't change anything and just hit "Race Again", same results. Otherwise, runs perfectly. Any suggestions appreciated. Zog

I then have to reset it, reboot and this time everything works fine. I can then race again as often as I want without any problems... ? Lothar

Any suggestions appreciated. > Zog I tried pretty much everything, even messed about with replacement video/sound cards to fix a problem with NFS3 crashing. It turned out it was a CDROM problem! I grabbed the crack, installed the game 100% to HDD, and have had nary a problem since... no crashes, lock ups, nothing. So, try update your CD drivers, or try install to disk. Dunno if it'll work, but it did for me. Paul.
Try changing the sound from Direct Sound to Stereo. Fixed it for me.
