MX Simulator

I run windows 7 and that may be the problem. I do run in compatibility mode for xp. I'm running the latest snapshot. Crashing happens everytime I play. I may get through 2 or 3 races before it happens. I have got the error window pop up saying "out of virtual memory" a few times. Most of the time it just freezes. Some times the sound goes off when it happens and some times it plays the last quarter of a second of sound over and over. Seems to happen the most right when the guy in 1st crosses the finish line but not every time. I only play online. I'll try to play some single player today and post if it happens. All other games (and i play alot of games) are running fine. I understand if there is no support for this being a new os and all. Figured I would throw it out there and see if anyone else is having issues with win7 and mxsim. Thank you.

Does it on single player also. Got the out of virtual memory error loading budds creek.

Thanks man. This is a fresh install. I've even wiped the drive and reinstalled with only mxsim on it just to check.

no problem dude

If you have an ATI graphics card check this thread.

If it's a fresh install he really won't have anything to clean, his error is from low virtual memory anyway.

Looking at that post about the 64bit ati drivers, I definately believe that is my problem. Tried going to the older driver and it's got a bug in it I don't want to deal with where it default overscan to 15% on my monitor without a way to change it. I went back to the latest driver and been playing a good bit without a crash until just a bit ago. Thanks for the help. Think I'm gonna deal with the crashing for now and set up a dual boot with 32bit xp just for this game when I get some time.

Did you tried the 9.7 version, because all is working good now for me... And I got more FPS on other games too.
I always check lastest drivers but this time, until I find newer's working, i use the 9.7. I had also some problems resizing openGL windows with seven built'in drivers. I have an ATI radeon HD4870.

If don't want to use other than lastest driver, i recommand to lower the ground texture resolution, disable FBO, and you should be abble to player for a long time without crashing.

9.7 has a defaul to 15% underscan set to hdmi outputs for tvs that overscan. Problem is is that the setting to go back to 0% is missing. There is a wierd way of getting to it in 9.9. So I went back to it.

I set up a dual boot with win7-64bit and win xp-32bit. Set up mxsim on the xp partition. Figured all would be ok. It ran for a bunch of races then bam.. out of virtual memory. I'll try your suggestions if it happens again.

Thank you.
