NR 1999 Crashing...I haven't heard of this one before...

Mine does this too, but not consistently. I run a C300a (at - don't pass out - 300mhz) with 64meg 100mhz RAM on a PC100 AT board. It happened more often at 450mhz, so I clocked it back to normal, but it still does it once in awhile. Heat is not the issue, BTW. Can't figure it out. - Ben

Hi, Just to add to Papy's NR99 bug list, in case no one else has reported this, my game completely crashes back to Windows if I pass someone in the line-up before I cross the start line (at the beginning of a race). I know we want to discourage unruly driving, but an in-game warning or message would suffice :) Marc. -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist---" General John B.

Marc, mine never has. I don't get to race a LOT, but I do run in an offline league, so it's at least once a week. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck

For tracks with 40 cars in the track.txt (i.e. 1 player, 1 pace car, and 38 opponents), using a cars drawn ahead setting of 39 will cause the game to crash in this situation. One work-around is to simply reduce the cars drawn ahead to 38. Eric

THANK YOU!!! I was begining to think my C300a was begining to melt. NR1999 crashed for the third time in a row this evening. After your fix, works flawlessly! - Ben www.hotyellow98.com/benfarneman The original Infantile Egomaniac
