I reinstalled everything. The tracks now load in gp4 but extremely slow. It takes about 5 minutes to load the track. With the other mods(1991, 2006,2007) I have no problems(loadtime +/- 25 seconds).
In the .csm file, under the [TSM] section add: LoadOnlyTrack =%loadtracks%,%tracknum%
In the Settings\globalvars.ini file, under the [Vars] section add: loadtracks =
and at the end of the file add: [loadtracks] AllowChange =1 Name =Track loading method VarCount =2 Var1 =blah VarName1 =Only the current track Var2 =1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 VarName2 =Load all tracks in profile
Cheers b-tone done that but still takes ages to load the track. I get to the track loading screen and it just sits there, then every minute or so the loading bar will move a little... Haven`t been able to see the mod yet!!! Have no problems at all with DTM2005 mod or the 2006 Mod
even tried load the 1995 mod with 06 spec track with the same result, so am thinking some thing wrong with the car.wad maybe?
Its shame really, was looking forward to racing a 95 championship after i`ve finished the 06 champ
any other ideas?
thanks Ian

Is it during loading when you see the loading screen? For about 5% of the loading bar it loads something, then gets into the cars until about 50%. So team 1, team 2...etc. So if its slow during that 5-50% then its cars. Once CSM is done and you're in the game menus take a look at the cars.wad to see the size. Also try low res textures and see how fast it loads.
Sorry for the bump of an old thread, but I experienced this issue and it took me a few weeks to find the culprit causing the issue. I thought I'd post my solution in case this comes up again.
The problem is with the GPaedia in the documentation folder. If you delete the folder, the loading times return to normal.
