F1RS - Help, can't run

Has anyone had a problem getting F1 RS to run ? When I launch and get to the single player/multiplayer choice menu I get kicked back to the win 95 desktop with a "F1voo performed an illegal operation" message. I'm using a pure3d/millenium II combo on my ppro 200/128 MB ramsystem. Thanks Mike

I too have this problem. I have tried every thing including re-installation of Win95 with just the drivers and DirectX 5 but ended up with the same results. Sent some e-mail to UbiSoft and got a "no support for PowerVR as yet" reply. This is funny as it says Direct 3d support in the system requirements. The two patches they have released do nothing to correct this PowerVR problem but maybe the next one will. Good luck. Oz

It's not quite the same. When installing the game, it recognizes that I have voodoo graphics and installs the 3DFx version. I would love to see this game run. Mike >I too have this problem.

I was unable to get the game to run. Then I noticed another's post about a possible conflict with Monster Sound. I put the device in safe mode, re-booted and tried F1RS again...it worked ! First race was Melbourne in the rain (I finished dead last; it was a disaster). The game is truly a work of art. Incredible !!! Get this game if you have any interest in F1 Racing. Mike

I had a similar problem where the game wouldn't go beyond the intro and return to Windows. The solution that worked for me was to increase the virtual memory setting. It was previously set to 32 megs. I increased to 64 megs and... Voila! I hope this help you... Michel On Fri, 26 Dec 1997 08:18:20 -0500, "Michael Concino"

Thanks for the suggestion, but I resolved my problem. I have a Monster Sound which I put into "safe mode"- no more problem. Mike
