Aaah the first ATI freeze, maybe you can do a small test for me, set all graphics on low and try to freeze, after that settings on as high as possible to drive and do the same test.

Thanks!!

I'll give it a go later in the week when I have some spare time (flat out tryin to get on the pace at Silverstone for this weeks event)

I am like Simon on this one,i enjoy more or less problem free running of Race07,and really always have,right through all that fuss with patch issues etc. a few months back,im not saying i have never had any crashes at all,but the ones ive had have been few and very far bewtween,something i have ended with since a few weeks back is every time i exit Race07,i have a "minidump" message waiting at desktop for me,still no problems in game,just an error every single time i quit,ive always suspected something with the RD league pack,it was around the time i added that it began,but ive heard of no other reports of it.

Win XP-SP3
Asus P5N32 SLi
Gforce 8800GTX
E6600 conroe
2Gb OCZ PC28500

LOL,,It really does serve me right

,after all that big bit of gloating at how great and stable everything is for me,,,,....i just had a total freeze-screen-soundloop crash in game,on the RD server actually in the 87 M3 in the heavy rain qual session,oh how i love irony!!

I have Freeze ups in both GTR2 and Race '07 And they always happen like about 40-70 secs after I go on a track. I hit the Reset Button and warm boot my PC and I know that It'll be fine till I turn off my PC and Turn it back on again then I have to Repeat the Above?

i just registered to add myself into the list of people haveing this freezes with ATI cards.

i got a ATI HD3870, and have this freezes in GT legends, and Race07. i dont know GTR or GTR2 as i dont like the simulated car class.

actually i can drive most tracks in GTL without problem, but i can reproduce the crash to 100% on any nordschleife track in GTL. that turned me off pretty much, so i tried to switch to race07 in order to drive the schleife without crash. and when i drive the ADAC version of the schleife in race07 i get exactly this same black out crash to 100% after the bend out of the karussell.

thats insanely frustrating, i have it in GTL and race 07 with a ATI card. i had the latest omega drivers till yesterday. than i installed the latest ATI ones, strange enough i have horrible performance with the ATI drivers in race07 compared to the omega ones, however the crash is still there. also i tried window mode...

however i didnt tried to play it with everything turned way down. should i try it!? i could report back this evening or tomorrow about how it worked.

this freeze is giving me maximum frustration, i cant play the only two race games i like becouse their freezing my whole system. ****

i had a Gf7950GT befor i got the ATI card, it never froze like that in GTL, i didnt ever played race07 with the 7950 card.

screen freeze

Sometimes during online play my screen will freeze and I have to ctrl/alt/delete or reboot. Not very often does this happen. I run video on max settings and the frames rates are excellent. Do I need to drop down to High on that Setting? My computer is a Dell xps with a quadqore processor on vista and has a nvidia 8800 gt card with 650 watt power supply. Any suggestions to help with this occasional problem. Thanks marty

i have sometime the same problem,the screen freeze ,but after few seconds,it run again

David Lemon · Sep 20, 2008

I've had this same problem for a while now too, I changed my graphics card to a 9800gt from a 8800gt but I still get random freezes, my latest try at curing this is to run the game (EVO) with vsync on but I haven't really had a chance to test it yet as there can be up to a week between freezes, I'm sure there's a simple answer but I don't have it unfortunately, lets hope someone can help :yo:

Hi, I also have a nvidia 8800 gt and when I overclocked the card this problem occured. Have you overclocked ? I have it now working on standart level and no problems

Mark Guy · Sep 20, 2008

I am also using 8800gts and also get this problem sometimes. I also have that while i am racing my pc just goes into windows and I have to alt/tab to get back in to the game. Could these be linked??
