Ok sorry but the game isn't able to be launched with me !

Here is my PC config: Core i5 3330 3.0Ghz - 4go DDR3 1866Mhz - Windows 7 Premium 32 bits - Geforce GTX 650 Ti OC 2 Go - MB Asus P8H77-V

Last time, I hadn't get any issues with the FR3.5 mod in Hockenheim with 16 players in 1440*900 !

And tonight with the same circuit and some graphics settings reduiced again compared to the last race, the game crashed 5 times when I wanted to join the server ! And up to 6th time, the game ran with....5 FPS !! Just like Race Drivin on the SNES...youhouuuuuu !!

I decrease the resolution from 1440*900 to 1280*720, and put the windowed mod, and there is only 10 players on the server !!
The Honda Civic is 132Mo and the FR3.5 is 123Mo, about the same weight, so it's not that...

Really I can't understand why the game runs like this..Ok with a 32bit Win OS, only 3.47Go is useful...but come on...

If some body has a response to my problem...

Edit: After that failure, I decided to run in offline game. I put Honda Civic/Mid-Ohio/No AI Drivers...the game crashed one time, the other time: bad allocation memory...
I put FR 3.5/Mid-Ohio/ 15 AI Drivers: no problem ! And of course in 1440*900 !

Did not enjoy this race in the wet. Was like driving on snow/ice x10 totally undriveable for me. Was fun the first 2-3 laps before the heavy rain started. Cheers

 

[James Bolton]

I'd do this again, it was fun even though I didn't finish.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

More of these rain races plz

 

[Imre Bende]

Huh this rain was extreme, i love it!!! great race, but the middle of race was non rain, it was monsun

 

[Joao Fernandes]

The rain came and things got really interesting.
There was a chance of rain but that was extreme.

With the track really wet i played safe and drove carefully trying to save the tires. Smooth under braking not to lock and slide away. Short shifting and careful with the throttle to avoid wheel spin.
Driving like this meant i was not the fastest but avoided mistakes and didn't have to pit.

For once my strategy worked.
