I recently purchased a new Dell with the i5 and an AMD HD 6450 with 4GB, using Windows 7. I loaded gtr2 along with the ALMS 4.0 from the NAGP site. My add-on tracks beyond that include the LeMans track and the Autobahn track. My system often crashes when I click "Drive". I noticed that when I select certain cars and tracks it works fine - others not. I added v 1.2 patch from tenticle.

Is it possible that the cars and tracks are not compatible with each other or is it more likely the system is simply crashing due to resolution, etc. I've made all kinds of adjustments in the game lowering and raising features, but sometimes it works and sometimes not. I really have a tough time using trial and error to narrow the issue. FYI, I am using an older flat-screen monitor with a split VGA to an overhead projector unit.

Any ideas welcome - settings, etc.

Well first of all I think you should start with a plain new GTR2 install and see if it works. I suspect that a mod/track/car install went wrong as what you describe is typical behaviour.

You can also add "-trace=1000" to the GTR2 desktop shortcut so that the target line reads "...\GTR2\GTR2.exe -trace=1000". The game will then make a logfile 'trace.txt' in the GTR2/UserData/LOG folder that could shed some light on why the game crashes.

I will try the trace - that is very helpful. Thanks! 9I tried two GTR2 installs and they work fine before I add the mods. Thanks again! Bob

Well then either you didn't install a mod properly, or you have a conflict between two mods, e.g. they both modify the same file. The trace file should show :)
