Sorry but I saw quite a few posts ago about the FIA GT3 v1.3 - and I've downloaded it, and its brilliant with the new Ferraris and Mercedes :D But when I go to the Spa 24H 2011 section all the cars (except the Ferraris/Mercedes) are all in a red liverly and then the McLaren is in orange. But when I take it to the track all the cars (except the McLaren) work, but the McLaren doesn't and Im driving a grey box basically when I select the Mclaren. Im just wondering is there any update or something? Because I can't find anyone else saying this problem :confused: Unless I need to change something, or the fact I did have the 1.0 verison ( I did unistall and delete it)

Thanks for reading and hope theres help :scared:

I think some others were having this problem on the thread at f1 classic.
Have you tried the memory patch and adding +fullproc to your shortcut? Also, are you running in DX9 as you should be?

Memory patch

and then google +fullproc

I'm loving the mod, I had the old apex version a while back and didn't like it too much. This Sandrox version is brilliant. Is it just me or is there a problem with engine braking (as in there isn't any)?

This mod and the latest update to DRM Revival have me hooked back on rFactor.

No problem, we were all new to it once. 👍 The link Jav posted above my post actually covers how to activate DX9.

Edit: Here's what you have to do;

Edit the config.ini in the rFactor-directory like this:

ShaderLevel=3

You have to allow access to save changes to the notepad file. You need to right click the file and allow permission to modifyon the security tab. What version of windows are you running?

On my system (Win 7 64bit):

right click config.ini > properties > security > edit > choose user > tick boxes to allow

Vista - I have access, but its saying I cant save it in the file :/

Also is the DX9 about the Windows DirectX 9?

Here's how to do it in vista


Follow that tutorial, or the one in my last post and it will let you save the edit in config.ini

Yes DX9 is directx9, editing the ini file will activate it. I had a similar problem when I originally installed rfactor whereby even though I had DX9 selected in the rfactor settings window (where you set resolutions etc), I had to manually edit the config.ini before it actually worked.

After you have edited and saved the config.ini, go back and try the memory patch I linked to before and google +fullproc.

Let us know how you get on.

I found the problem - I had 2 different config.ini, and changed it to 3 in the correct one. Try again - still doesn't work

Should I now install the Directx9 now? Or try the memory thing? But I have used more than 2GB of MODs Im 100% sure on that, as I have like 9 - one being 1.2GB so I think thats not the problem

Not sure why you would have 2 config.ini files...

You should already have DX9 installed, so no need to install that. Try the memory patch and +fullproc. More than 2GB of mods is storage space on your hard drive, the memory patch is to free up memory GB, which is different. You only need to do the memory patch if you're on Vista 64bit though, there isn't a need on 32bit.

If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid I don't know how to help beyond that... :nervous:

Right I did it again - but still not working

I'll try the memory thing - very confusing but Im sure I'll work it out
Also I was wrong about my computer - its the 32 bit verison. Dont know if that changes anything....

Thanks for your help 👍
 
Ok so I uninstalled rFactor - I then installed it, and then put the FIA GT3 mod in. I go into the game and play it and the Spa cars are still are red (except the Ferrari/Mercedes/McLaren) and the McLaren is still that grey box.

Im running DX9, and I have 32bit computer - but Im only running this MOD.

So am I still doing something wrong or is there a bug or glitch inside the MOD?

This is what I get:

I have zero problems with Mclaren it's not a mod dependant bug. Sometimes tracks cause material bugs: for instance, same name used in a car .mas and in track .mas at the same time. This could cause confilct and rFactor not able to load you the car properly. try to use a different track.

Also use a shortcut on your desktop for rFactor.exe and add the following sentence:
"D:\rFactor\rFactor.exe" -trace=30
Obviously you need to use YOUR path ( yourdisk:\yourfolder\rFactor.exe) or it won't work.
Apply changes,
Run rFactor,
let the bug happen,
close rFactor,
open your rFactor folder,
go to UserData\LOG,
open trace.txt,
read the trace file.

You'll figure out where the bug is.

Hmm ok - I'll try and work out what to do but that very confusing for me if Im honest :scared:

Also its not a confilct with other tracks - its like its failed to load any liverly's or the McLaren. There all red (except Mercedes/Ferrari/Mclaren) and the McLaren is a grey box. Ive uninstalled rFactor, and just used the GT3 mod on its on - the same problem. I've downloaded it again, uninstalled rfactor and tired again. Still the same problem. Im not sure......

Right click on your rFactor Desktop Icon, and choose PROPERTIES.

In the TARGET box after .exe (leave a space) then add -trace=30

Next time you get a CTD, go to your Userdata folder and in the LOG folder there will be a trace.txt file.

The problem is usually at the bottom in the last few lines.



I'm sorry but I can't help more, sometimes s**t happen. Try new version 1.3 of GT3 mod, or try 1.1 if you can find it and you already have 1.3. Other similar mod if you like GT cars: GT1 mod by sandrox, Enduracers mod.

Thanks :) trying now


Im running the GT3 V1.3 - and the McLaren now works, but theres no paint jobs on the cars, and when I looked at the trace theres no real reason, theres lots of "unable" "unable" and it didnt have the message - but it did crash a couple of times - then managed to continue

Im confused - thanks for your help and Im sorry for the dumb questions :dunce:

There's no dumb questions, only dumb answers, rFactor can be a huge mess. It's all about swearing and tweaking.

No liveries could be an issue in .veh files? (total random assumption) Proably there's something else going on, sometime trace 30 don't tell you everything. Try "-trace=100"
but I don't guarantee anything.

Yup its changed again since Ive downloaded it 3 times lol

Ok I'll try that :) It also couldnt find the tyres for the McLaren = no idea if that helps, but it calls them GT3 tyres

EDIT: I have tired the "-trace=100" thing and it came up with " Non-existent tire brand" a few times but "Unable to adjust texture for material" came up a lot, as did "Vehicle gen token "1" unknown"
These were like the only ones I could find which were failures or something. There wasn't really anything which said what was wrong (unless I missed it or just posted it :dunce:)

Also does it really matter if I don't have a graphics card? I've been running without it and its been fine on all my other MODS, but could this be the fault? I did also run the EnduRacers MOD and it seemed fine
