So I guess SP2 is not to blame looks like it's an issue with my Radeon. This computer is very similar to mine except it has a Kyro II video card. The game ran perfectly on it, no patches or tweaks required. Thanks again for all the suggestions.Įdit: I just installed the game on a friend's computer which also has XP SP2 installed. I'll keep playing around with it though and trying different options. I tried the application compatibility toolkit but so far it hasn't helped (though I was able to use it to fix the free disk space problem in High Stakes). I also found an old post about blank menus on Google Groups from a year ago but there was no solution posted. Maybe it's not SP2 either if QDave is running it with no problems. I blamed ATI and their new drivers at first but after trying some older drivers I found they weren't causing it. It was not until I installed SP2 that my drop down menus became blank and the game crashed to the desktop when loading a track. I already found a fix for that a long time ago and have been playing it all this time in XP with no trouble at all. Remember this problem is not the same one people have been having running it in XP all this time. It loads up fine but the menus are still missing. They could at least make an effort.ĭio, thanks but that didn't work either.
I don't think supporting a game a year or two after it's release counts as "forever". Should they have not fixed it then at least? What about Need For Speed III and IV? When newer video cards came out and the 3DSetup program didn't recognize them, you had to use hacks and workarounds to get them to work properly in D3D mode. The game isn't that old, and besides that the problems first started showing up at least 2 years ago. I have never had a problem since then! :DĪs for the Catalyst issue, I have no idea since i dont use them You will now also be able to download the 3.5 patch from within the game itself, and have full multiplayer capabilities. To do this, go to the "File" menu and click "Install".ġ0) Every time you run Porsche.exe, it should now manage memory correctly. However, ACT will discard your new patch unless you install it into the system registry. Click "Finish".ĩ) Now you'll have an application compatibility patch. Click "Next".Ĩ) This should bring you to the end of the wizard. Click "Next".ħ) Out of the 130-or-so compatibility options, enable "EmulateHeap" and "HeapPadAllocation". "Win98/Me" might also work, but I haven't needed to try it. Click "Next".Ħ) Under "Operating System Modes", select "Windows 2000".
Go to or directy to the link:ģ) Load up the Compatibility Administration Tool from the Programs menu.Ĥ) Click the "Fix" icon to create a new compatibility fix.ĥ) Type in a description (anything you want), and then point the program to the "Porsche.exe" file. 1) Download the Microsoft Application Compatibility Tool.
