Nascar2 Demo Question

1 post by 1 person · 08 Feb 2000 - 08 Feb 2000

Hi, I realize this is ancient history for most of you guys, but: I'm mainly an ICR2 guy who is mainly interested in road/street courses. (I've got the coverted N1 courses.) I've downloaded the N2 demo (and converted the Glen to ICR2 with the free version of Dave Noonan's N2->ICR2 converter -- no problem) with a view to trying to get a look at the Wexford track (by TPTCC) to see if it's worthwhile for me to get the full converter to convert it to ICR2. (According to another web site, it will actually convert to ICR2). Anyway, I can't get the N2 demo to work on its own in the first place. I have an older system and an ATI Rage Pro video card, so I have followed the advice of the ATI (and Sierra) web site and run ATI's M64VBE to try to fix the problem, but no luck. The N2 demo will start up fine and gives the menu screens, but if I try to choose "Driver Info" the program locks up and dies. Also, I can choose a venue, but as soon as I click on "Drive", I hear the car's engine, but the program locks up as well and the screen does not even change over from the menu to the***pit view. Honestly, I'm not even certain that this is a video card problem. As an aside, I understand that N99 (I think?) has a road course named Heartland Park(?). Is this convertable? Is it a fun course? Is it worth the trouble? Probably too much trouble just to try to get two new ICR2 courses. If anybody has a clue to the problem, I'd appreciate any advice. -Matt S.
