Dave488 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Another great track Mor well done all works fine here
MoR137 Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks all for the great comments, much appreciated. Also, thanks to everybody whos posted to say its working/not working with some PC specs as well. Please keep them coming, and if anybody has any ideas as to what it could be (cheers Splinter/Hutch for trying already) then please add those to this thread. The fact it works on the majority and not others suggests its not liking certain PCs/configurations, which has me stumped as to quite how I fix it. I'm not able to look into it now until monday evening due to work and other commitments, so please keep the ideas and suggestions coming until then. I'll keep scratching my head for now. EDIT - One more thing to ask..... is anybody running rFactor Lite and NOT having problems with the track? I know Sparky is on a full install so the rFactor Lite theory is starting to go out the window..... but you never know. Edited August 2, 2008 by MoR137
RobertL Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Hello i tried diffrent settings but nothing helps. running on xp sp2 settings dx9 asusA9550
splinter Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 I'm on Lite as said before and ALL IS FINE
pistolpete Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 rFactor full install, patched to latest version. Same error messages as stated previously XP sp2, tried DX7,8,9 settings. Display settings in-game Low/Off to high/max altered. rFactor_video_settings.zip
The London Allstar Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Ok i have an error whilst trying to laod the track also. "Error Loading Texture NIRPLAT03 for material NIRPLVAR03" I am running a full installation of normal rFactor with the most recent patch. As Hutch seems to have a thoery, i am on ATI graphic drivers using a Radeon x300 Here are my game settings:
Haadee#525 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 great track nps here either XP sp2 - everything on high - EVGA overclocked geforce 8800gt
The London Allstar Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) I've just had a look in my rfactor folder in the NIR track folder and i cant see the file that is creating the error, so possibly it could be a case of the extractor not extracting all of the files correctly? If thats a stupid comment then just ignore. Edited August 2, 2008 by The London Allstar
Mr Beef Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Think the problem must be down to graphix card. Desktop nvidia working ok Laptop ati with latest drivers not working People got it working with xp, vista, full install and lite install. Has anyone got it working with ATI card. Edited August 2, 2008 by Mr Beef

Desktop nvidia working ok Laptop ati with latest drivers not working People got it working with xp, vista, full install and lite install. Has anyone got it working with ATI card. I have but mine it a 1950 which does not have the shader error
demonstone Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) if its shader error i think ati cards below x850 dont support shader level 3.0 possible cause? Edited August 2, 2008 by demonstone
demonstone Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) having said that think it was x850 pro supports shader3 next couple of cards wer shader 2 and didnt use shader 3 till x1300 Edited August 2, 2008 by demonstone
Mr Beef Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Mine is x1250 in laptop and its shader 2 Edited August 2, 2008 by Mr Beef
H33Racing Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 great work to all involved But this pops up here Im on vista Cheers Mark
earache Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Do you need to have support for shader 3 to run this track? If so, that could be my problem as I know my 'chipset' doesn't support shader level 3. It's a laptop so I can't really upgrade either Edited August 2, 2008 by earache
Mr Beef Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Yup that seems to be the problem earache. Does not work with cards that don't support shader 3
earache Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Yup that seems to be the problem earache. Does not work with cards that don't support shader 3 Thanks for letting me know. I've a few games that don't work because the card doesn't support shader 3
The London Allstar Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Will the track be changed to be usable with these cards?
Lee Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 seeing as its not the full version it may well be Allstar. but in the back of my mind i have doubts and thats the sort of question i for one would be asking Mor once he gets some spare time if i had that problem.
splinter Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 If anyone could get that program (or a similar one) to work, that I posted earlier, it bypasses certain shader problems for most games, I used to use it to get games working with graphics cards which in theory weren't supposed to work. You will have to research how to get it working with rfactor I am afraid though. This is until MoR has time to check out whats causing the problem exactly. Allstar the track has been 'packed' together so you will not find the individual file through windows but the game 'sees' it still and then the graphics card doesnt support the shader
Hutch#331 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Its a fine excuse for a new graphics card lol
splinter Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 I have had enough experience literally over the last 5 years with 4 ATI graphics cards to tell you its time to FU.C'K it off and get another brand. I liked their features at first but can tell you they are just gimmicks at a cheap price. Their incompatabilities with all sorts of hardware, applications & games have caused me hours, if not days, of frustrations. Hopefully a fix will be sorted by MoR soon though.
Lee Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) Well now that you say that splinter im tempted not to buy their new graphics card which is apparently very good? Edited August 2, 2008 by Lee
splinter Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 TBH I cant comment on the new one and I'm no PC expert but I've had enuf of them to put me off buying one ever again Bit like me dad that had a bad VW golf in 1979 and wont buy another VW. Ever! lol
splinter Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 I take it people have tried diff resoultion and tried the diff shader levels, DX7, DX8, DX9 etc then tried changing the texture filters and track details/shadow details in the game? Its something thats hard to fix unless its happening to you. MoR hasnt got the problem on his pc so he cant check. I cant find much specific info on google tho apart from loads of threads about ATI not supporting different shaders
demonstone Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 has any 1 tried running it windowed not that i think ittl help
The London Allstar Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Im going to start messing about with it now and see if there are any drivers updates out
