start race button doesn't work - Remie - 03-08-2009
Hi;
i have an ubuntu laptop (dell).
i installed vdrift with scons.
i can start the game ande choose a car, opponents etc...
when i press the 'start race' button; nothing happens.
i put shaders off
any idea what is going wrong?
thanx;

Can you open VDrift, try to start a single race, and then copy and paste your ~/.vdrift/log.txt file here? The reason the game is failing to load the single race should be explained in that file.

ok
here is my ~/.vdrift/log.txt

i would say you lack some textures there.
i for myself built vdrift via scons, and then had to copy the data directory from the build directory manually to the right spot (/usr/share/games/vdrift)
just cd into the build directory and do a:
sudo cp -r data/ /usr/share/games/vdrift/
or open a root session of nautilus via ALT+F2, enter "gksudo nautilus" and then copy it via file browser.
hopefully this helps
it works!!!! - Remie - 03-10-2009
it works perfectly thanks very much!!!!!
just one thing: ik works very slow; but i think this is a hardware issue?
i think i have 1,5 G ram so i don't think that's the problem; perhaps the graph card?

My guess would be your graphics card is slow... VDrift works best with an NVidia or ATI brand card.
