Well Boomy, at least somebody who understand me a little bit and besides treat me nicely, I won't talk about w_ _ _ _ anymore, because that's the way to ask. About the "missing patch" you mentioned, do you mean how it should work in my opinion?
I must remind to all the members including you Boomy, that I was talking about a backup cd because I won't scratch the damn original cd just like that, say whatever they say. It is my right and yours too. I 've paid as it should and I won't expend money again for a fully bugged game that we have to fix ourselves everytime we want to play decently even meeting the system requirements. I would say to the game companies this : If you can guarantee a fully functional game with determined system requirements, take it out to public with no fear, if you can't, don't do it or if you do then accept the fact that people who paid for your crap will search anywhere a way to fix it and finally...just play withot troubles as it is announced by your publicity. Period.
Vader, you did not apologize with me because you can't face your own errors or you don't dare in public and given this, I don't give a @!#$ about you and your poor way to behave. If you don't think before talk, surely your problems with others in future won't stop. Learn to apologize boy, you lack of it.
Now returning to the damn configuration file, I have installed the game, installed the patch and the patch-over for it, modify the config file and sky messages went away, but everytime I stopped a race and picked another track or even the same one, a GPF error send me to hell. This happen every single time I start over a race without getting out of the game.
So I realized that if you keep the "1" always on the first line, the game won't crash and will be playable without a hitch, at least in my system, a p3 750, 256 ram and a Asus V7100 magic (Nvidia Geforce2 MX 200 with any detonator driver) First, make sure to modify all the in game settings, like graphics, joysticks and so on as you want just ONCE, save and get out the game, go to the config file and JUST change the first line putting the "1" instead of the zero and disable Sky Messages with a "0", save the file (do not modify anything else for now, you will be able later if your game runs ok) then go back to game but DO NOT touch the in game graphics settings or audio settings (it just apply to this 2 sections, the others options can be manipulated, but I won't recommend it neither, just in case), star a race and see how it goes, get out of race and pick another track and start a race again. If no errors ocurred when loading the tracks, you have make it!!! Now you can go back to the config file, make a backup for it and start to change anything you want.
After the first mentioned steps, I have modify the config file to gain more speed and performance (based on the ideas of some members here, thanks) and still work well. If anyone still getting some errors, ask me and I will give you more details of my own config file.
Or if anyone is interested in the config file of my system, just give me your e-mails and I'll send to you.
I hpe this will help you out.
