TOCA problem with Directx6?

7 posts by 7 people · 02 Sep 1998 - 08 Sep 1998

Can anyone help? I've owned TOCA for some time with no problems, but since upgrading to directx6 I can't get it to work properly. When I go to the circuit select screen, it shows all tracks darkened and after a short time it shuts itself down, I sometimes get a message saying low video memory, I've set it up to use my 3d 2000 and Orchid Righ 3dfx graphics cards but it does exactly the same with both. I tried re-installing TOCA a few times with no success. I'm a little short on disk space can this cause problems?

I don't think your disk space is the culprit (though I could be wrong). I have the same problem with TOCA after the DirectX6 update also. Though I have plenty of disk space on my system. I have the patch installed too. Hmm... did I run the patch after the re-install? I'm also having a was working fine before. Anyone out there have any clues for us? Later... Tony Long

I assume that you guys used the DX6core installation, as I used the DX6Eng full installation and all seems OK except the selected track is dark.

Hi Yall, Since upgrading to DX 6 TOCA takes a long time to load. I thought it locked up but waited a min. or 2 and i started. When going to each track it also does this. I also get the dark track layout when selecting the track at the track selection screen but not in the screen as the track loads. I run a P200,64Mb ram, STB riva 128, and Monster 3d in Win 98.

I have a problem with NICE 2 when running DirectX 6.0. You should download the DirectX Uninstaller and then re-install DirectX 5.x... http://home.att.net/~ebrink1/Direct.htm#DxUn Good luck! Seb Michael Zamarocy schrieb:

Paul - check in Dxdiag.exe on Display Driver 2 tab that your 3D hardware has not been disabled for D3D acceleration. Stuart Brooks
