Guest johnson_n20 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Last week I bough NASCAR Heat, and the Short Circuit Add on's. I installed the orginal NASCAR Heat fine and it worked, but then messed up the Add on's installation, so I deleted both parts, since i have tryed to re-install the NASCAR heat, and now it won't work, it gets to thank a couple of familys, and then just crashs every time, running it off the disk or PC, and I have made sure I have removed the program. I run Windows XP, any assistance would be welcomed Cheers Nige I just want to race (bored with the closed season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi Nige, First things first, delete the Nascar Heat folder inside the Hasbro Interactive folder in 'program files' Install nascar heat (use the setup option to run from HD - the 260mb option) - check it works Install the 'no-cd' multipatch - check the game runs without the cd install the 1.72e patch - check the game says 1.72e in the corner of the single player/multiplayer first screen install a mod from the add-ons disc - check it works let me know from there ......

Guest johnson_n20 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have deleted the Hasbro, folder, and re-loaded the NASCAR Heat, with the option to save to the HD, but it won't work it freezes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 hmmmmmm don't sound right - if you're getting an error log from the game (a notepad document) please post it here. also, when using the patches and mod files from the add-ons disc, i would recommend you drag/copy the files from the CD to your desktop and install them from the desktop - this does NOT apply to the Nascar Heat disc, only the add-ons let us know about the nascar heat error log (if any) please ........

Guest johnson_n20 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I don't get an error log, as it just locks up and crashes, before its even loaded. And no matter how long I leave it I can't do anything but turn the computor off. I am really lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munster Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Have you checked out the install guide on the ukdirt site ? HERE Try and re-install the game following the guide on the site. Maybe of some help. Munster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I remembered something that might be of use - i have had the 'black screen' once that i recall and i seem to remember that the game was being 'hung' by my firewall awaiting clearance to allow the game to access the internet - if your firewall allows 'trusted' applications, go into your documents and settings area from C: (you may have to unhide files) and allow heat.bin as a trusted program (do a search to see if it is already on the machine - i think its in a temp folder in documents and settings) hope this helps .........
