your system/drivers..?

For windows 98SE, i've always had pretty good luck with the Amigamerlin driver set. You can download by clicking below and give them a shot. The drivers were release in 02' but seem to be pretty stable for most games.

Other wise I'm not sure as I've never played the game. Hope it helps some.

note that you are downgrading from dx8 driver to dx7 driver,but maybe thats exactly what the game needs..

Would be unbelievably slow.
AGP texturing was the first way of extending the VRAM amount, but even the MUCH faster RAM (compared to the HDD) is much slower than the VRAM, so that wouldn't be a smart way of extending VRAM

I have yet another side question: I switched back to the 1.07.00beta driver, and I use the 3dfx tools from the 1.07.00 driver package.  I really liked the tools that came with the Amigamerlin 2.9 driver.  Can I install them to use with the 1.07.00beta driver or are they specially made to fit with the Amigamerlin driver set?  Are there newer/better 3dfx tools that will work with the 1.07.00beta driver?  Maybe it'll help the game run. 

I finally found the game readme file, it got installed to the hd when the game was installed.  The only issue it says it has with a Voodoo3 is with flashing lights on tracks......so far I haven't noticed any so I wonder why it is doing this crashy thing?

Well I don't think it is data corruption on my hd's, I tried on one at minimus install due to a lack of space and it froze in race, and on a less full hd (full install of the game) it still froze up all the same.  As for Windows I recently reistalled it over itself to fix a boot up problem, so I don't think it is a Win98 problem but I won't count anything out.  There was an error of corrupted/conficting data between the setup cab file and the rest of the cd for some files the first time i installed it recently (4 days ago thereabouts) but every install since that (I have uninstalled it andd reinstalled it about 5 times since that) with nary a error or anything.  

As for the drivers, I did reinstall the 10700beta one over the amigamerlin and the tools reverted to the ones fropm the 10700 set.  I am gonna retry doing that tonight.  

I also saw the latest Mikepedo driver.  Maybe it'll be ok.  Is it dx7.x or dx8.x compliant?  

Thx for the late reply....and I would try it, but I don't have the game anymnore, I returned it to my brother.  If I get it again, I will give this a try.  Though, my pc specs have changed somewhat since then....still the same pc, just other stuff.
