The game would play for about 5-10 mins then i would have to do a hard reset. i would have a constant looping sound otherwise. sometimes the game would crash right beore the next level or checkpoint...stuff like that.
I still have missing rear wheels on the cars too. im running version 1.2.1
Only thing im having trouble with now is the game sometimes resets back to minimsed screen. i have to set it to full screen now and again for some reason. maybe its my virus scanner or something
Ive stopped the crashes so im happy

i can finally play the game now.
On a side note what the best graphics mod out there? rygel's looks really nice...might give it a go.
