Hi guys,
Some are already aware of my problem, but I'm having a serious issue with graphics settings vs replay. As some may know, my PC is old and can't run smoothly with hi-quality graphics, so I play with minimum quality. I drove a few laps around Hockenheim 2006 with the 2004 Ferrari and I set a lap 0.019s slower than Schumacher's pole lap from 2004. I'm happy yay ! So I save the replay (as unlimited practice, not hotlap, as usual) and I exit the game to change graphics to maximum quality before recording the lap. So I turn on the game again and load the .upl file. I then rewind to the beginning of the 3 minute replay and fast forward until the end of the lap before the one I want to record. I actually spun in the middle of the double right-hander at the exit of the Stadium, so I went back on track facing the wrong way to spin myself in order to get an optimum speed exiting the last corner.
Now is the tricky part : when I drove the laps, all went well and I could finish my laps perfectly. But this time, on max graphics replay, the car veers offline on the inside of the penultimate corner and it keeps receiving steering, throttle and braking inputs as if it was still on track. You can make out Turn 1, Turn 2 and Turn 3 from the HUD. And then, WOOF!, the replay goes back to normal after Turn 3 on the back straight. Just for fun, I revert to low quality graphics and everything is normal again ! As a matter of fact, I didn't change the car wad, track wad, physics and performance. Neither do I use car restore state.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth a million !
And since I've been using my 2004 car wad, I get this error message with no debug report and no debug pop-up window when I exit the game :
0x7c91120e -> <unknown assertion>Anyone else ever had that problem ? It's so frustrating, I don't want to drive that perfect lap again lol
Also, the same thing happened with my Barcelona lap from yesterday and it was caused by a sudden disabling of the pitstop bug fix (car would sit in the pits in the replay instead of leaving right away). Also, my lastest 3 replay files don't show laps at the bottom in hofxlap.

The weird thing is that my exe is actually 1.02 (so says GPxPatch in fact) and I've been using it since forever with all V10 years.
Thanks !
