There is something called Nascar Heat UI Control Center which I think you should still be able to find online somewhere to download which allows you to change the in game resolution beyond the standard ones that are shown within game. This 'might' be worth a try as the resolution options given in game are limited in todays market. Also have you tried changing the graphics settings in game to minimum and maximum to see if the issues is the same there and also try the various resolution options in there also. Hi Dont know much about the game you are playing, but would try the settings like mentioned above, also found this info might help....... http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-tec...cy-problem.html Hi fellas. i got the ui control tool and sadly it seems my system is too new for me to run heat bangers on. very sad about this as i realy would love to join in with these as i used to be a real banger driver years ago and these are my favorite. i will keep trying to see if i can find a way to run it but for now its a no go. one piece of advise given was to put old graphics drivers on....trouble is finding them. im running a nvidia 9500 gt card.....i dont know what drivers ( old ) i would need.... Gary. happy racing.

thanks drumstick appreciated fella. the system is windows xp and the graphics card is nvidia 9500 gt. ive done a re-install of heat by the instructions on site. someone did say on the facebook page that there was some tool or something that helps with high resolution screens. i have a 22inch flat screen monitor. the game installed and mods installed good. when i go into game i use f1 f2 f3 but i can only see my car ok with view f4 any other view i get these spikes of multicolour run across my screen from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner completely block sight of the car and track....its obviously a graphics issue but i dont know how to cure it i have updated my card drivers.....am at a bit of a loss now....one of the reasons i came to dirt was for the bangers and i cannot get it to run.... must be a fix somewhere as people are running it.....

Jack the video is A1 super duper fella. and i look forward to your next work of art. Gary

well i may as well delete it off my system...i cannot use it and there does not appear to be anyone who knows how to fix it.... thanks for looking though. Gary.

i need help badly to setup my heat bangers. the game runs but i am having issues with graphics spikeing someone must know how to sort it....?

Still needing help on the heat issue...anyone out there have any knowledge of the problem that can help

big al said ....good sensible stuff with no idiots. In fact, the only idiots seemed to show themselves in Chat where some puerile stuff went on, but on-track it was great. the stuff in chat was myself being victim of some abuse from stox drivers which ended with me leaving simstox after being offered my £10 joining fee back if i promised to leave simstox and never return to simstox. i did not accept the fee back but did leave. i raced the evening but did not get anywhere...and it ended with me being thrown out of the last race due to the bullying i had recieved. oh well i hope things go better here. so far i have been accepted by most of the guys. and hope it continues. Gary
