UKPnG Season 2 - Classic Cup - Lakeside - Mar 4

[phspok]

Mine CTDs every 3rd time I try to join an on line game. That or booted as possible cheat
Is this just on line or off line as well?
Try to make a new player and test it. People have talked about deleting/remaking .player files before

If all else fails it would be quicker to do a 2nd install and copy your setups over than spend hours troubleshooting.

It's when I execute the game to begin Matt. There seems to be an issue in the .exe file.

[phspok]

Oh I see. well stabbing inthe dark then....
Try to change the settings for the file, like ownership, compatibility setting might have somehow been turned on
Is User account control part of XP can't remember, but maybe something has happened to the permissions inthat
directory. right click the file you think is an issue and check it's not been set to read only.

It is probably something really simple, but, like I said, if it's not obvious I would just do a 2nd install.
Or, maybe you could run the update patch programme again - GTR2_1100_WE_Update.exe
that would overwrite the .exe or many of the files it depends on.

[pribeiro]

Thanks Matt, I will try.

[phspok]

Ahhhhhh, A thought just hit me  
Mine does exactly what you describe when I have changed the game graphics resolution, as I sometimes use a friends monitor
It gives no error, just dies. Do the game setup and set it to what you normally run.

[Clive Loynes]

Paulo was running GPL last night.

Could that have changed something on the gfx side?

[phspok]

Would not have thought so, however I have wasted hours pratting around with GTR2 PG GTL as every time I work
away I use a friend's monitor and I have to reset the game resolutions at his, and then back at my house
I have been doing it without thinking now for so long I forgot what happens if I don't

[mr_oily]

Quite fancy this as the last GTL race here was an absolutel blast but seem to be struggling to find my groove somewhat!

Are the Abarth and Tina also capable of 1:06's!? I didn't do a very good job of driving the Healey so couldn't comment on that but felt I was slinging the Fiat about reasonably ok and was struggling to break the 1:07's!!

Hope you get it sorted PR!

[Legzy]

PR, you might also want to try removing xd if that's installed. Try it then & if it's worked load xd again.

[pribeiro]

Poor Matt, also with the same issue.
I have tried what you sugested Legzy, however the problem remains.


EDIT: I will uninstall P&G and make a new one.

[phspok]

I can't get the Tina or Lighting Bug under 8, though some have.

Have you tried running the setup and matching the resolution to your desktop resolution PR?
also try setting DX8 or 7 instead of auto

Thanks Matt, I selected DX8 and its working fine now. 

[pribeiro]

The only one that broke under 1.8 time was the MKI, but I feel that I can't handle it for all race consistently.
The slower is the Abarth, due to lack of top speed, but very nice to drive around.
Cortina and Mini are in the middle, I wonder how the front tire wear will be in the Mini and the Tina seems to be too heavy. Oh well, no more time to practice, so I guess I will throw a 4 faces coin to chose. 

[Mike Miller]

I've driven the Fiat, Mini and Cortina consistently in the 06's. I've tickled 05's in the Mini and the Cortina. I've seen others in low 06's in the Mini as well.

[mr_oily]

Thank you PR for briefly lifting my mood and thank you also Michael for promptly bringing the rain to my parade  . Got a tow rope handy?

Clearly need a lot more practice and some setup expertise wouldn't go amiss, I'll have a throw of your four faces when you're done Paulo
