game crashing when race is finished

hi guys,
before reading your articles on here, i knew nothing about updating gp4, but since finding this forum i have updated all teams and drivers, cockpits, tyres, pit crew etc manually through amending wads and this is all thanks to your work.

i have a problem though. every time a race ends, and the message "race over" comes on the screen, the game decides to freeze up and i have to restart my pc. very annoying.

how can i find out whats going wrong ?

save the gpx log and post it here

Dont blaim me for my english im just proud that im from the Netherlands

I think he can't. He says he has to restart his pc 'cause it freezes

ah didn't see that thanx for notifying me
@cerbera84 try a fresh install of gp4 and update it with the patch. then update ur cars.wad with the 2009 cars and try to race again.

i was running gp4 without the gpxpatch previously, so i installed it and it worked fine (apart from the graphics like speedometer doubling up?) - i finished the race and it was ok. but i just trying to run gp4 without the gpxpatch running again and it crashed

i think this must be from the one that ran ok with gpxpatch ?

There is 'invalid data' in that panel you are using. Disable it and try again.

ok, i've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, added my old cars.wad file in, and everythings running ok right now. this is without using gpxpatch to run the game. the only thing i would like to change now is the in-game graphics. can they be changed without using gpxpatch ?

If you mean the timing display, no. If you mean a track or car update, yes. You should run gpx_patch anyway. The best way to update is by using a csm mod. Updating gp4 manually can be tricky. There is a pinned thread on updating to 2009. Also have a look at the FAQ, also pinned.
