RASCAR: Atlanta

Well, I was running 3rd and was about to overtake #83 in 2nd place when my system froze - again. Complete screen freeze, but I could still hear the sounds. I just hit the reset button, rebooted, and re-entered the race, six laps down. The leader had just passed me but since I was on fresher tires, I passed him a couple laps later. At that point, I went seven laps down. Shortly thereafter, a caution came out, and after restarting, I decided I'd just quit. I honestly don't know what could be wrong with my system. I haven't changed anything in almost a year (not even video drivers), and all of a sudden, I'm getting this screen-freeze problem. This sucks. -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Barbarian Diecast Collector (490+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

Deepest sympathies. That same problem drove me nutty for the first month or so after I built my last two computers. Still not sure how I fixed it. Where is the race next week? Looking forward to it since I have missed the last 4 weekends (work).

Yea, I saw you veer off and knew what must of happened. I had two under yellow. The first one was harmless, but the second one came when we were all about to make our last pit and I was in fourth. It forced me to miss the pit entry and I dropped back to last (of the cars on the lead lap) after I finally made my stop. 90 laps worth of work down the drain. I'm pretty sure I could of had third, but ended up fifth. When does N2003 come out? :-) David G Fisher "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

John and Gang, After you punched out, a couple of laps later the batmobile was sent into the wall by warp from dave I think. This caused the first caution. While leaving the pit, I experienced the same screen freeze that you described. I had to reboot to get out. I decided not to re-enter the race due to my rabid-bat pissed off condition.This is the second time this week that I have had this nr2002 screen freeze and I'm starting to get worried. The weird thing is that I raced Atlanta last night for about an hour online with on problems at all. Maybe I'm getting some bad memory or maybe win98 is getting sick. Dave, nothing personal. Someone watch the reply and let me know if I caused the wreck. I lost it when my computer froze. Either way, see ya'll next week and congradulation to the winner. grub "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm starting to suspect many of these freezes are due to connection issues/bugs in the sim. It has been reported a few times in our league as well. Over the past month we have found the net connection in general to be flakey. Is anyone else noticing higher pings and spiking that a month or so ago?

Possible problem. What are the chances your CD Drive is on it's way out? My drive died last week and the weekend before I was getting screen freezes. I'm not positive they're related as the drive is never accessed but it dying and the screen freezes were a little too coincidental.

That sounds like the classic "video card overheating" problem. Cool it off and you shouldn't have anymore problems. Vintook "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

You didn't cause the wreck. I drifted up a bit. You came down a little. Warp had something to do with it though because in my replay, your car suddenly goes from pointing forward to completely sideways in a millisecond and yet I felt nothing. We probably should of given each other more room to account for the weird corner warp that zaps so many.

My freezes happen online and offline, but I definitely have noticed that the RASCAR races have suffered from poor connection the past few weeks. Not nearly as stable as they normally have been.

I can't help but think these guys having screen freeze problems are having some sort of Networking issue. Whether it be a period of disconnect from their ISP, a period of extremely high latency, or whatever. Networking problems can show up as just about any sort of failure a PC is capable of presenting, from freezes, slow performce, crashes and reboots. -Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
