Cannot change control assignments in RACE 07 series - Screen Hangs

[John Bergqvist]

Hi, i have a annoying problem with Race 07, GTR Evo, STCC + Race ON. I'm running Windows 7 64bit and have previously had no problems. However, when i try and go to the control options screen to change control layouts, the screen hangs, until finnally loading the control options screen, which is so slow/laggy its unusable. not sure how else to explain it really. Any similar problems/solutions? and i know its not my wheel, because the game detects it and it works fine (as it was set up before i had these problems). Im using all the correct drivers etc. for my system. GTR2 works fine, btw.

Honestly not sure on this one John - firstly you lucky bugger having RTR!

Second - do you have any other game controllers attached to the PC? Especially ones that may have been added recently?? Could have confused the games?

Third - I have in the past had some weird stuff happening, like you describe, with the setups Files menu - now I can't say 100%, but it appeared to be related to how defragmented the STEAM/SIMBIN files had become on my hard drive???? So if you haven't defragged for a while, perhaps you could try this. I beleive there is an option somewhere in steam to defrag game files too. It may help, it may not, but either way its not going to hurt to defrag...

well i just did a defrag (of the whole hard drive as well as the steam files) and it didnt make any difference. Im scheduling a full disk check incase theres any corrupted files on my disk. ill try unplugging everything uncessesary tho.

are you using g25? if you are that's the wheel problem, I had the same thing, just got a new wheel and now everything fine

Have you tried a different driver?

Have you tried a different driver?

yes, I even tried different game, Real Time Racing which based on the same engine, same problem, I also tried my g25 with another PC and had the same issue, so that obviously was the wheel, I've just changed it
