TOCA2 Demo a piece of crap!

What's up with the TOCA2 demo? I've downloaded it twice and still I get a stupid "Setup is unable to find installation languages in .\SETUP.LID file. Error 105." I d/led from two different places so it sure isn't the file that's broke. Sorry if I sound pissed off but this is the third major demo that doesn't work at all I've downloaded recently.

I've loaded it up off a cover CD from a few weeks ago, and it ran fine. Oh, and by they way...TOCA 3 is already being made. I attended a lecture by three guys from Codemasters on Tuesday. Quite an eye-opening 1 1/2 hours. Doug

Third download finally worked, but I still am wondering how to make it playable with my TM Sprint. It feels way too arcade and the car is all over the track in curves, it's like the speed is accelerated to 200 mph when I enter the curve and the turn radius is way too steep. So what setting do you recommend for a general wheel?

Try setting your system to country setting US, and reinstall the demo again. Actually I'm thinking about ordering a US version of Win98, as this voluntary censorship thing is getting out of hand. At some point they will not rely on checking the country settings but something that cannot be changed by the user...check the link below if you speak German. l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Don't start complaining about TOCA 2's Arcadiness. Having spoken to one of the artists on TOCA 2, they tried to make the best game possible. They never inteded to make a Simulator. It's a game. Not an Arcade, not a Sim...just a damned good game. Doug

Thats the way Toca 2 drives, sorry. Try SCGT instead, way closer to GPL. JM

OTOH, neither he nor me were saying anything about TOCA2 being an arcade game, or did you playback our postings backwards and something evil appeared? Or maybe you just screwed up while responding... l8er ronny
