The game seems to start properly at first: the intro video plays and
then I get the screen saying GTR 2002 is now loading. After 3 or 4
seconds, i'm back on the desktop. Strange...
Can the game be uninstalled and reinstalled? If so, do I need to
reinstall F1 2002 as well?
TIA. Andre

first try the other two loaders...gtrun.exe or gtlite.exe. Have either
of you added new cars lately? The GTR frontend can only handle a certain #
of cars. Yes GTR can be re-installed, you can even delete the f1 2002
subfolders and re-install that and not affect(effect?) the other mods. Use
a car manager to reduce the number of active cars.
and go to SIMBIN and read the pinned forums.

Nascar ran fine but the same thing happened to me with the GTR mod. Took the
computer back and they installed the updated Nvidia drivers (the card I use is
a year old...so were the drives). Since then all has been fine.
Hope this helps...

No, I haven`t started installing new cars yet. Just the new "Dry Lagoon"
track. I tried re-installing on top of what was already there (hoping it
will fix a corrupted or missing file) but it did not fix the problem. I
also tried to use the other loaders but no go...
Will try to uninstall-reinstall tonight. Will let the group know if it
works or not.

Some sound advice by Dave there. I am actually spending more time
installing and re-installing items in my games than I am driving.
(what'd you want, theres a mod coming out every week and there are
tracks in GPL on a dialy basis) So I usually end up with screwed up
installs. The last one that pulled that trick (same thing that you
describe) on me was the Porsche Challenge in GTR2002 and it had indeed
to do with the number of cars. As soon as I set it to 22 cars, there
was no problem anymore.
But there were also Extreme Open wheel Racing mod and the CART mod
that did the same thing. I solved it by backing up the 2002 ini-file
(rename it to config.bak) and then renaming the MODs ini-file to
config.ini. All mods worked well afterwards. One major disadvantage,
If you have your mods installed in the same folder, you have to rename
the mods-ini file everytime you want to run a certain mod. But as I
have shitloads of free disk space I always make different installs for
different mods, and then rename the inis and I am set.
So indeed :
- try setting the resolution lower (800x600 e.g.)
- try setting the number of cars to 22
- check if all paths in your mods config ini are correct
- most of the mods require that you set pit crew animation to "low" !!
If none of these help you probably are stuck with an add-on car/track
that causes the system to crash, My guess would be that the Blue
Lagoon add-on track is the guilty one.
Best of luck!

(snips)
I will keep emphasising this point...there is a pinned thread at Simbin
that covers in minute detail the proper steps for installing f1 2k2 and a
mod like gtr. Follow that procedure precisely.
(more snip)

> installing and re-installing items in my games than I am driving.
Yup...more work=less play... :)
I have at least a half dozen mods all sharing the same install of F1
2k2, all have their own config file and none need any file renaming or
swapping. You just have a separate properly named and edited config file
for whatever mod you are using and a good shortcut to launch it. I have
all my shortcuts in a folder on the desktop. three clicks and whatever mod
I choose is loading.
(snip)
It could be..heck I have never even heard of the blue lagoon track.
Guess I'd better check out the track sites again... :)
