View Full Version : Game Crashes loading tracks

I just reinstalled the game along with the necessary patches (I used the Step1.zip patch, which supposedly has everything I need).

The game launches fine, and I can even play single race or career mode no problems until . . . some tracks don't load. Not all tracks, and not all the time.

First it was Chatham. This is the output of the spcar.err file :

"Error loading scene file D:\Games\SCGT\DAT\CHTA4.SCN.

Error locating anim map file D:\GAMES\SCGT\CHTA\MAPS\FLGA00.BMP."

The file CHTA4.SCN is in the DAT folder along with the other CHTA*.SCN files and the CHTD.ANI file.

Then the next thing you know . . . the damn thing will load ok.
Then its some other track that won't load (like now Sebring won't load), I get the same 2 error statements except that it's for the Sebring files.

This kind of stuff makes me crazy . . . hopefully, there's an easy solution.

I sure like this game . . . when it works correctly.

Any help IS appriciated, so tanx Mon.

there's a patch called "scgt1024" that will fix those errors. It's a collection of bmp's at differant res's that should have been in the original release. I have it uploaded in the file section at S.N.R. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/saturdayniteracing/)

and if the patch doesn't work, try reducing the resolution to 800x600
