Hmm i might try this. Since i started using Windows 7 (inevitably) i have this strange behaviour on replays. It seems that from the races that I ran, the replay of only the last 4 - 5 laps are saved. All prior to those laps is gone. I am sure i have enough diskspace and all so that cant be the problem.

Any ideas?


cheers,

Triz

This is a direct quote from Duster, and it does work. Had the same problem when I switched over to Win 7 several months ago.

I would recomend this to everyone who is running heat on a vista machine.. It is almost necessary due to the way this old game operate & uses/writes files..

Change the permissions of the "NASCAR Heat" folder by right clicking on it hitting properties and adding your user account name to the list & giving yourself "full privilages" this will ensure that you now "own this folder" but be 100% sure you also run every install as the administrator.


If this alone does not solve your issue be 100% sure that your max_mb in your options.cfg is high ehough but not too high I usually set it to 999.....

I used to have this same problem, and this worked for me. I set it to administrator, but I also changed the compatibility mode xp service pack 3. I now get full replays.
