heat crashes

[pazza]

when i play the bangers mod it gets to the loading screen, but "heat.bin" crashes. i think it might have something to do with installing monster truck mod yesterday, but i unistalled it today because i didn't think much of it. could it have ripped some of nascar heat or ukdirtbangers out at the same time?

 

heres the error log

when u say it crashes, where abouts does it crash?

 

on load up, when connecting to jolt?

[pazza]

it freezes on the loading page even when offline?!

the heat.bin takes up 50mb of RAM and task manager says its not responding

 

cheers

yep theres deffo summat off there if the heat.bin's tying up your processor to that extent, i'd go for a re-install too tbh

[pazza]

thankyou both for your help

i'll re-install nascar heat when i've got time, then i'll run all of the ukdirt files

i'll back up all of the skins folders in the ukdirtbangers folder

 

cheers

i restarted my laptop and tried a different mod which worked!

then i tried bangers, which took about 5mins to load then finally worked!!

but is there any way of speeding it up coz it used to take about 30secs?

erm it should be in c:documents & settings/(user name if your pc is set up that way)local settings/temp i think.....its a hidden folder so you'll have to set hidden folders as visible then redo the search

 

[pazza]

it is still slow

any ideas?

[wrighty496]
