I was wondering what this is ?Its just theres a lot of topics about it and I can't seem to figure it out.Also could anyone give me any advice or good websites to goto that I could play my ps2 online with.I'm really clueless but I would like to give it a try as I recently got broadband

www.gt-legends.com/ - PC Racing game based on the FIA TC65, GTC65 and GTC76 class of racing.

thanks for that i'm downloading the demo right now

[JOHNSTON]

Well I downloaded the demo and it all seems to work but once I've set everything up and go to race it loads up and when it gets to the end it just closes

Are your graphics card drivers up to date?

What graphics card do you have?, how much ram does your PC have?

Have you anything running in the background taking up your PC's memory?

[JOHNSTON]

This is the information I can find in system properties(sorry I really don't have a clue about computers)

Pentium(R)4 CPU 3.06GHz
3.06GHz,960MB of RAM

Does this help

This is not the StarForce shennanigans is it?

Go to the GTL Website and download the StarForce fix and see if that helps.

I'll give that a try ,this demo better be worth it

Right click on your desktop, click properties and when the window opens, click on the settings tab.

Near the bottom of that window, windows normally shows which graphics card you are using.

Let us know the results.

Shouldn't be, I'd say it's a graphics card driver update or even a directX driver update as well.
DirectX 8 minimum needed, preferred DirectX 9.

This is very recent game and uses the latest technology so any systems not properly up to date on it's peripheral drivers will not be able to run it.

uh-oh... this could get me into a world of trouble...

[FourWheelDrift]

It was this bit that made me think it probably hasn't had any driver updates since new.

Don't blame me if you get a bollocking, you found the thread on your own

p.s. get one of these if you really want to die...

[JOHNSTON]

I've tried the starforce fix and that doesn't hasn't worked.

For the graphic card driver all I can find is "Plug and play monitor on Sis"followed by a code

Start, Run, type: DXDiag and press return

In there somewhere should be the version of Direct X you are running and the grahics card you have

DirectX 9.0c(4.09.0000.0904)

Next thing is to check the website of you graphics card manufacturer.

Firstly right click the "My computer" icon on your desktop and chose properties.
Click on the hardware tab, then on the device manager button.
Find you graphics card (Display adapter) in the list and double click on it, twice once to show the card name, then double click on the name.
Click on the driver tab and note the driver number.

Find the graphics card manufacturers website (google it) and go to the support/downloads section and check for a newer driver for the card/Operating system you have.

When I got here there was a button already there which was for searching for an updated driver>When I did this it said there was no driver available that was ant better.

The 960MB of RAM may suggest that your graphics card is the onboard type that shares system RAM, in which case it's probably not the best choice for gaming
