I don't know exactly when it's began, but since a few days, i have awful grey walls all around the all tracks in the game. It could be after i install new tracks pack, or after i changed values in the camera settings. If some1 here have the same problem, please tell me what can i do..... Thanks.

Oh yes - I've seen this. It came about as part of a installing new catch fence textures . As i recall, I'd extracted the Track Pack into a directory called TRack98, when it should have been TPack98. The fences then appeared as a continous gray wall (very strange!!!). Renaming the incorrect directory fixed it. -- druidh remove THE_MICHAEL to reply.

Since it can't find the specified directory with textures, it can't show them!

Yeah - I know it was behaving the only way it could. I meant the sensation was strange. Remember the storm drain sequence from Terminator 2? -- druidh remove THE_MICHAEL to reply.

I followed the instructions with the Track Pack I downloaded (or at least I should have!). I can't guarantee you've the same - just pointing out a similarity in behaviour. However, it sounds like it would make sense to go for a clean install and apply any changes gardually - testing between each. -- druidh remove THE_MICHAEL to reply.

The fences then appeared as a continous > gray wall (very strange!!!). Renaming the incorrect directory fixed it. I remember now: i have installed the track pack 98 you mentionned. But i have no directory named like that. When i downloaded the zip file, i simply extracted all the files in my "circuits" (tracks) directory. Have I to delete all the modified tracks and reinstall the originals on the CD ???

I resolv the problem now. I have created a Tpack98 directory where i copied all *.jam files. Now, the grey walls are gone. Jo Helsen <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...
