Sega Rally 2 (1998) 800 x 600 in XP
« on: June 01, 2009, 03:35:28 PM »
Did anyone manage to get the game to not crash as it starts when you have selected 800 x 600? I need to run it in Windows 95 or 98 compatibiltiy mode and I'm wondering if it's one of those compatibility settings that makes the game crash.

These compatbility modes applies a slew of fixes that may both fix or break things. Some advanced users have sometimes managed to find exactly one fix (in the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit) that is enough to make the game work. So does anyone have any ideas?

Update: It would start if I enabled only the Win98VersionLie fix. But it still crashes  :(

Update: I also have the problem (in XP) that after each race (in Championship mode) the frame rate begins to lag in increasing proportion until the graphics driver eventually crashed during the fourth track (Riviera).
