Race 07 - BTCC super touring series. Good idea or not?

David Carter · Oct 13, 2011

I have just had an idea but I want to run it through with all of you first. What about running a BTCC series using the super touring mod and recreate the 1997 or 1998 season by doing the race calender (1998 season: Thruxton rounds 1 and 2, Silverstone rounds 3 and 4 etc etc and doing sprint and feature races).

All of the race tracks used in the 98 season can be downloaded (oulton park hasn't got fosters layout) so it's easy to recreate.

Please tell me you opinions no matter how good/bad this idea is.

Lars Brugman · Jan 23, 2012

This should be a great league!

AndreasFSC · Jan 26, 2012

Hopefully V3.1 of the super touring mod will be available today

Good! Send me a link via PM or via my email, marco.bijl@racedepartment.com

It's this error "SteamStartup(0xf,0x12fc74) failed with error 108: The local steam service is not running" I have been trying to fix this for ages but no luck so far

I've tried the main solution and that dosen't work

AndreasFSC · Jan 26, 2012

Oh that's sad...

David Carter · Jan 26, 2012

Im trying to work my magic and use my heeling power to make it work now. If it don't work, I will lose the will to live

AndreasFSC · Jan 26, 2012

Good luck David!

Here's the updated version:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u57i1c19yd3zq5c
Had some problems with mediafire, hope the .zip works.
Be sure to back up the add-on STW teams '98 and '99 or get the latest update of the stw mods by baika (the stw97 mod of Pat and stcc200 mod of biffenh have their own folders, so they will not be affected), delete the ALBTCC98 folder and install the 3.1 version

I assume you already tried this:

Question

I get this Error:

"SteamStartup(0xf,0x12fc74) failed with error 108: The local steam service is not running" when I attempt to run any game.

Answer

This error might happen if there is an extra copy of Steam.dll in one of the game directories or in the system path.

There should only be one Steam.dll in your Steam install directory, typically:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.dll

or

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\steam.dll

The fastest way to find errant steam.dll files is to use your O/S search function from your Start button:

Start > Search > For Files or Folders > all files and folders

then enter steam.dll in the all or part of the file name: box and click on the search button.

You should only have one Steam installation on your system so you should only have one copy of steam.dll. If you find any others then delete them.

Yeah i've tried that already, thanks anyway Marco.

Did you try to delete race and steam (uninstall), make sure there are no folders left and files left of the previous installation, and run steam installer again?

So not only race, by Steam as well? As it seems, the issue is more steam related then Race related.

Is it okay if I post the video below at nogrip and a couple of other communities and include a link to this thread (with the proviso that race department membership is required to download this mod).

@andrew: The STW mod is available here http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/stw-98-99.46847/
I don't know if the STCC2000 mod is uploaded anywhere for the moment, but let's see what we can do about that
