[2007-03-23] [Win Vista] Problems within the game - mak77 - 03-27-2007
I'm testing the full version game under Windows Vista and i found the following problems:
- controls are not loaded, there are no deault key bindings
- controls are not saved, i have to assign controls at every restart
- game hangs, if i don't start the game as Administrator it hangs after 10 seconds from the start of the race. No problem if starting as Admin
- in the file utility.log i have the following:
Could not find texture: data/tex/data/cars/mustang_gt/interior.png
Could not find texture: data/cars/mustang_gt/interior.png

Hi, thanks for testing on Vista. I've let the Windows package know about your post so he'll see it. One thing that puzzles me, is that it's looking for a car named mustang_gt. A car by this name hasn't been in the game for a long, long time. Could you also post the stdout.txt file that should be in the same location as your vdrift.exe?

it only contains this:
0 joystick(s) found:

Both problems seems to be Vista specific.
For the controls not saving problem:
Could you check if you have a .vdrift directory in c:\Documents And Settings\<username>
If so, if it contains the "controls" file (and if it is changed/used on last run)
Maybe VDrift crashes on close so writing to it doesn't happen
Does other settings work correctly?
For no default controls:
Check if in the VDrift directory the file "data\settings\controls" exists
For run as root:
Change the permissions of stdout.txt so everyone can write to it and try again running as not-administrator
A last check: I guess you are running the last version (23/03) edit: oops, this is in the topic

in Vista there is not documents & settings
it is under c:\users\<username>\.vdrift
it exists there

yes it is, and it's changed correctly based on my choose, but at next restart controls are not loaded

yes, there is, but they are not loaded

yes, it fixes the problem (i will try more however)
thank you
