Jormar try this debug build. Please run it from the command promt to see if vdrift returns something on exit/crash. Additionally check if there are a stdout.txt, stderr.txt in the game folder. Thanks.

I'll make another test and I'll be sending the log in another msg. I'll use my Win 7 ultimate on the same PC just to see if there is a difference.

Ignore the v2650M identifier. I've been too lazy to update it. Have you been running vdrift from command promt(stderr.txt, stdout.txt)?
- jormar - 07-20-2010
Hi Nan, ok I've tested under Win 7 Ultimate with same hardware, and it works OK !!!

at least it starts the game, during the game if I crash it becomes impossible to continue as I only see a blank white screen ( dust/smoke??)
thanks for your help
under XP it's a not go and no error message.
BTW I'm using the xp installation, just booting under win 7 and starting the vdrift.exe under win 7 instead of xp. so same files, same HW, just different OS

Maybe a graphics driver issue(Win7 vs WinXP).
The white stuff are the soft particles with shaders disabled. Quite ugly I know. I guess we should add an option to disable smoke.

Hi Nan,
I've updated my Nvidia drivers to 169.21 and now I can play the game in XP.

some surfaces are missing, is that the reason I see all that white smoke ?
thanks

The white smoke is due to a different bug that only shows up with shaders off (with your GFX card VDrift runs with shaders off). It'll be fixed for the next release.
