Can't load setups in F1RS

19 posts by 10 people · 02 Jan 1998 - 15 Jan 1998

Overall I am very impressed with F1RS (UbiSoft) except that I am unable to load setups. The load button on the bottom of the menu screen does nothing on my setup, and renders all load functions useless. If this one major flaw is fixed, I will be very happy with this program.
I have had no trouble loading set-ups if I wait till last screen. The one that has the GO button then hit load and set-up should be available. Hope this helps . Aloha,Mike

Are you running on a Voodoo Rush card? If so, that is probably your problem. I found that the cursor wouldn't go far enough down the screen to reach the Load button when running F1RS in Glide mode on a Rush card. Worked fine on a full Voodoo Graphics card.

Im having the same problem. On my Voodoo (not rush) card.... Pierre Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...
Set Win95 screen size to 800X600. Weird, but that's the solution. "On 5 August 1944 in the vicinity of St. Sever Calvados, France, witnessed a German Mark V Panther tank knock out three M4 and three M5 tanks during and after being hit by at least fif*** rounds of 75mm APC from a distance of approximately 700 yards. All of these shells had ricochetted, with the exception of a six***th round which finally put the Mark V Panther out of action." Sgt. Thomas P.

Well I hope they have this on the list of things to fix. Cause I dont run my desktop in 800x600 for a variety of reasons. And this not being able to load setups and races is EXTREMLY annoying. I just quit a second ago because I couldnt reload my race weekend. What...!!! Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand Infamous Pink Flamingo Pilot...

Huh. I was able to load my chassis setups just fine. Maybe it is because I have a Monster3D? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
Note also that you cannot run your display in anything higher than 16-bit, high colour. 24-bit will not work. -- Bruce. (At home)
I run Win95 under 1024 x 768 resolution (large fonts) and have no problems whatsoever with the screen accessibility for F1RS. (Using a standard Cardex 3Dfx card, current drivers for Windows 95). This dastardly effect *may* be an unwanted attribute of (a) the card or (b) the monitor. -- Bruce. (At home)

I've got a voodoo rush card too, and I've got the exact same problem. The flag cursor won't go down far enough to select "load" ! Anyone know a way around this most annoying bug?? -besides getting a new card ;-)) /m

Ah but we have guilt by association here... Everyone plays well at my resolution of 640x480 until I load up F1RS then only it doesnt play well. I would bet that the team didnt think that anyone ran their desktop resolution at 640x480 and so didnt test it....*** ***. Definitely F1RS is broken here...needs a small patch to correct.

Say what..hehe Cisko you're a funny guy. But its more likely that you are running your desktop at a higher resolution. Maybe 800x600...works perfectly then... We are both using refence drivers so shouldnt be any differences...unless the fact that the memory in my Flash Voodoo is better than yours (40ns vs 55ns) affects F1 RS adversly.<VBG> Pierre >Huh.

I run at 1024x760x16bit. I am curiuous why you need to run 640x480 though. Hey do you think your faster memory will make for better lap times? :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >Say what..hehe Cisko you're a funny guy.

Sorry, but this is just not true (at least with the 1.05 patch installed). I run by desktop in 1024 x 768 in 32 bit colour and have no trouble loading previously saved settings, etc. Regards DM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- To reply please remove < .nospam > from my e-mail address ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- "Error, no keyboard - press F1 to continue." - PC Bios Message Bruce Kennewell wrote...

Whats not true...? Do you read well or just skim..? If you skim stop...go back and read the thread. If you run your desktop at 640x480 it is true that you cannot load setups switching to 800x600 fixes the problem. So sorry but your wrong. Pierre

No offence but all the original post I read said was... >Im having the same problem. On my Voodoo (not rush) card.... Set Win95 screen size to 800X600. Weird, but that's the solution. It's not 'skimming' - if one downloads these NGs at regular intervals then not all posts in a thread will still be visible (hence the need to trim previous messages but not so short as to leave the original context uncertain. Maybe quoting a little more of the original post(s) you replied to would help us all.

What he was referring to, was that supposedly you cannot load setups if your desktop was set to greater than 16bit. Who uses 640x480 anyway? :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Certainly I apologize I must have eaten something bad...to react the way I did.... Also the quoting is bad below as well...hehe. I dont have a Voodoo Rush. Pierre
