Hi,
I've recently reinstalled GPL and downloaded lots of the new downloads. The
problem is I seesm to be getting lots of CTD's. I can watch a race and flit
between cockpits and camera viws for hours on end without a problem but
whenever I get into a cockpit to drive it will get anywhere from 200yds to
half a lap and then dump me back to windows. It doesn't matter which track
or car I'm in either. I never had this particular problem with the last
install (but then again I have a different graphics card and M/B) and I have
installed all the correct patches, CPU fix and Direct3D updates.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Tim

There are two fairly common causes for this.
Check your files are not read-only. If you copied the install from a CD they
may be.
If you are using NTFS, allow indexing for the gpl folder. You can do this by
going to the folder properties & clicking the advanced button.
If you can view replays I'd guess the former, since the NTFS indexing
problem usually just makes gpl CTD at the first menu screen ime.

There's a common CTD problem with cars that have 16bit arm textures.
If you search the rsc forum at http://forums.racesimcentral.com for 4bit
arms you should find a link to replacement arm textures which hopefully
will fix it for you.

I've not had the 4-bit arms problem or had to fix anything using them, so I
can't be sure, but I thought that only applied to 3dfx cards?

Tried re-installing or updating DirectX? This fixed a recent crashing
problem I was having...to the desktop that is...didn't stop me crashing
the car...:-)
