drumbstick Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Gary I don't profess to know anything about heat, but system specs, and operating system would be usefull info. I am sure someone here can help, but I am also equall sure a number of members have not looked at the forum over the xmas and new year period.

gary132 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 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.....

Counter552 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Gary Sorry, I've no idea what might be causing this other than Heat is so old it was probably not designed to run on such large screens. If you know others are using this set up, maybe worth a PM to one of them to ask? As Drum has said, a lot of people aren't checking the forum at the moment.

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.

Gary. happy racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
