Post by calasepi »

Hello:
To excuse for my Englishman, only to say that in windows 7 the game goes out for me with other colors and it is not possible to play.

Thank you!!

Try to turn on vertical synchronization in Options/Advanced. :scratch: It helped to me from instability of game's screen.

I have a problem with generally (with Win 7 of course). After final results when I press enter, results turn out to grey and it doesn't go to main menu. But if press enter twice, it goes back to same race.

So the problem is that main menu doesn't work(?) after race. If anyone knows how to fix it, please tell me quickly (competition deadline is about 2 hours forward :D)

it doesn´t matter that menu is not visible ;) try to click esc, arrow down and enter and you should end up in replays. that means if you press arrow down exactly the number of times to get into save section you´ll get there.

Or just DL a new copy of GR :shrug:

btw you can still race today, I have to go to different city so I´ll make results in the evening

Can you provide any pictures?

But as Dan said, if you press esc, and then press down arrow 3 times and then enter, it should go to the saving screen. I have been having a similar problem, sometimes the screen turns black when the results appear. Then I do what I just said, and I can save successfully :D

In pictures it looks fine :shock: (with prnt screen). With short race distances I don't have any problems. In longer distances game is much slower to load race and bug appears.

I will try that :).

:wow: Anything new?

EDIT: I did my competition race. I'm using GR Fix and I started game and colors were messed this time. But when I finished my race, earlier problem was gone :scratch:. I will try to do some things with this and tell if I can find solution.

Which GR version do you use? If you use v1.10, you have to download Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Find the link in the game's readme.

And if you downloaded v1.05, someone else will probably know more than I... :D
