TOCA2 Patch Problem

The program now crashes (or locks up) when exiting a time trial session via the Escape key menu (Race Again = No). Also, getting some texture- related garbage on-screen at 1024, 1152, 1280 resolutions. Everything else on this computer works fine at this point - running a V3 3000 with non-Quake3 drivers and DX6.1 installed. Anybody else having problems or must I once again perform an autopsy on the dead software (or just reinstall the original!)...?? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know.

I'm having similar probs. After loading the patch, the game locks after the sprint race in championship mode, and after trying to change a car set-up (note, I can load a car set-up, but not change a car set-up?) Game was running perfect before this, and I'm on round 13 in an expert championship too!!!! 8-( Peter G

Problem appears to be sorted now, thanks to Codemasters support staff via thier website. The problem is (apparently) related to old (pre-patch) saved car set-ups. If you try to *change* (Note: you can load them , but you cannot change them?) any pre patch set-ups, that causes the frequent disconnects back to the desktop. To cure it, simply load any existing set-ups you want to use (do not change them at all) then save them as a new set-up straight away. This cured it for me...... 8-) *Peter* 8-)
