as soon as i go to the track (new game) the car will move about like crazy up and down at the same time moving slowly back and turning. i can calm it down by applying the brakes but as soon as i touch the throttle it will go mad again.
i had to enable vsync otherwise i do not see the track but get the following messages repeating infinitely:
Detected NaN in elevation
Not contacting with NaN surface
with a black screen and 100% cpu use. had this happen once even with vsync on but already on the track.
system is debian unstable amd64 with i386 chroot with vdrift running in 32bit mode.
cpu: athlon64 4000+
gfx card: nvidia 7800gtx
installed package is vdrift_20060221-1_i386.deb
i am willing to compile from source and apply patches if required.
I think you best try to compile but you need to make one change in the SConscript file then
on line 54 (under Save Options) add a new line with this:
env['CXX'] = 'g++-3.4'
You need to install the gcc-3.4 package and scons first.
then run scons
it should warn you about other compile dependencies, you could find them easily in apt.
If you're going to compile from source anyway, it doesn't hurt to check out the latest SVN and compile that...there have been a few little fixes since the release and the repository is stable right now. Plus that way you get two new cars
