PostSubject: Zandvoort67 won't load   Zandvoort67 won't load Icon_minitimeTue 28 Feb 2012 - 4:02

Hey guys. I hate to be a bother, but I got everything loaded up, ready to compete in the GT Trophy. Followed all the instructions to the letter, etc. And Zandvoort67 simply refuses to load. Other tracks, including Nivelles, load with no problem. With Zandvoort, the orange bar makes it to the end on the right hand side, and that's it. No pointer, no garage, just a frozen load screen. Hoping someone knows what might be causing this, as I'd really like to make my GT debut on Sunday.

As far as I can tell, there are no missing files or loose files in the Locations folder. All the mappings in the SCN seem to check out.

Tried downloading the same track from several different sources and got the same result. Tried different graphic settings and got the same result. So close, yet so far. Mad

Do you have another version of Zandvoort installed by chance? Sometimes certain files are named the same in different versions of a track, and the game gets confused ...

The other things to check are:

1) That you installed the track in the correct folder, and the path in the SCN files point there

2) That you have the common files like "common.MAS" and such in the main tracks folder

rFactor also allows to create a trace file by adding some command to the shortcut, if all else fails a trace file could be worth studying ...

Do you have a terrain.tdf file in your Gamedata/Locations folder ?
If not, put this one ftp://91.121.135.76/rFactor/terrain.tdf

@Alberto: yeah, all that stuff checks out I'm afraid. I'm really mystified by this. scratch

@Gui: there is a terrain file in the locations folder, but i'll swap it out for the one you linked and see what happens...

AAARGH!!! Still no luck. Mad
On the plus side, Nivelles works like a charm and it's a lot of fun.
If all else fails, I guess I'll be making my GT debut on March 25th after all Rolling Eyes

Sounds pretty weird... scratch

First of all, I'd delete the track folder and look for anything zandvoort67-related in the HAT files folder. (don't think there is any though, but I'm at work so can't check it out right now) Then, download and install it again, and finally check your graphics settings : maybe the track can"t work with dx7? Or maybe you need to set higher graphic standards to make it work? These are just wild guesses, otherwise I'm pretty clueless Neutral

Try this: Use the rfactor configurator to put the game into windowed mode, 1024x768 (Or whatever res allows you to see your desktop well) and then load Zandvoort. When the screen freezes at the end of the loading you might see a Windows pop-up window with an error message. If that's the case, tell us what it says, this could provide the solution Zandvoort67 won't load 822172

P.D. I know it's a stupid check, but be sure to use a car that you positively know that works on other tracks, and also start first with a solo test, no other cars in the track, then try a quick race (Sometimes it's a car related file what causes the problem, and not the track).

I'll check that when I get home. I seem to remember having this track loaded at one time long ago, so maybe there are some old remnants hanging around, gumming up the works. Thanks for the idea. :top:

Jason,
if nothing works, my advice is to do a fresh install of rF and the mod. I have a specific install just for HSO and everything has been running smoothly until now.

Yesterday I installed the track and logged into the server without any problems. Wink

Yeah. Everything else I've tried hasn't worked, so starting fresh seems the ideal course of action. I'll do that tonight...

It's very easy: You just need to send the administrators every 5 minutes a private message and put a request in the general forum every 10 until you get your new signature. Very Happy

Just joking: You need to upload the image somewhere on a public image hosting web and then put a link to it in your signature by editing your profile. Since you have already a custom avatar, the procedure is very similar, only you will be editing your signature Zandvoort67 won't load 420535
