BTC mod doesn't work
Hi all,
I've a problem with the BTC mod which I'm after some advice on. Basically the mod won't run - if I go to either testing or race weekend, it starts to load the track and then once the loading bar gets near the end, the cursor comes up and the computer then crashes and needs to be restarted - Ctrl Alt Delete and Alt Tab don't help. It sometimes gives me the blue screen of death after this.
I've tried running it in DX9 with the detail turned right up, tried a bunch of different tracks etc. Also tried reinstalling the mod but still having the problem. Was wondering if anyone has any ideas?
I had this exact problem with another mod before but unfortunately I can't remember what I did to fix it

Thanks for the reply. I've tried it in DX9 but rFconfig won't let me select anti-aliasing - the anti-aliasing box is greyed out if you know what I mean? Take it this means my computer doesn't support anti-aliasing?

that will explain it, intel graphic chipsets in 90% of cases don't support AA and has very poor graphical performance. I highly recommend investing in a graphics card!

Ok thanks all, will think about a better graphics card when funds allow.

You dont need an expensive one, I have an old GTX 285 in my system and it runs fine Just have a look at ebay, very cheap.

You're on a laptop? If I remember rightly that is a laptop chipset.
If so, ditch the laptop, buy a PC. Laptops are not gaming machines at all!

Any luck Andrew or did we settle for it being a hardware issue?
Does rfactor run for any other mods?

No luck so far, I think its a hardware issue as the card doesn't support anti-aliasing. My other mods work, must just be the BTC mod needs the anti-aliasing?

Should be able to run the BTCC mod without Ant-Liasing. cant see why that should cause a problem.
Do u get any MAS,GMOTOR,TDF errors at all?
May be conflicting with something running on ur machine. have u tried shutting programs down thats not needed to run rfactor. try a software like Gamebooster 3 or simular.
Can u install a seperate rfactor just for the BTCC mod and tracks just to be sure there is no conflicts from other mods/tracks in rfactor.
Also try turning off any third party plugings i.e, for huds and other things.
Have u got the right version of the mod/track being used. if in doubt as someone and they will help you.
Anyway good luck and hope its all sorted soon.

Thanks for the response. Not getting any error messages, will try the separate install thing when I get time I have EndItAll installed, does that do the same thing as Gamebooster?
