Mr. Skeltal Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 So I have Racers running perfectly fine on my machine, along dgVoodoo on it, so I can run the game in higher resolutions, and apply anti-aliasing. However, i'm not exactly a fan of the default controls, as I usually have Powerup's mapped to the Space Bar, Power Sliding on Left Shift, and Braking on Left Control (that way I can do super power slides quite easily) Issue is, whenever I go to the control menu, the game will instantly crash back to the Desktop. I thought it was an issue with my controller being plugged in, but unplugging it didn't change anything. I doubt it's an issue with my machine, as I have had the game running fine on Windows 10 before, and with dgVoodoo. I'm pretty sure I have the game running as Admin, with Windows 98 Compatibility enabled (I'll have to check, likely wont be able to report back till sometime later) The version of the game I run is the 1999 version with No-Disc protection (last I checked, I was one of two people on here that have a similar version) The specs of my machine are: Intel i5 Nvidia GTX 970 16GB RAM Windows 7 750GB HDD If any further info is needed, let me know, and I shall try and get back to you as soon as I can.

lol username Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 First time I've ever heard of that happening. I wonder if it's something with the 1999 version and/or compatibility mode? Could give the 2001 version a shot if you have any way of getting it. Otherwise, maybe the game simply doesn't like a driver you have installed, or something along those lines.

Mr. Skeltal Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Quick Update: Seems it was Windows 98 Compatibility that broke it, as when I changed it to Windows XP SP3, the game works perfectly fine now. Why Windows 98 mode would not work, but XP SP3 mode does is beyond me. EDIT: Apparently, the crashing issue when changing controls isn't just something I was having. This place: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Lego_Racers seems to document that happening to others as well Edited October 4, 2018 by Mr. Skeltal Provided extra info aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumboking Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I've never used any compatibility mode, only the -novideo argument in the shortcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
