Game doesnt load.

[carsey]

Hi,

I installed the game on PCLOS today and came to give it a go. The program loads fine, like the gaming window and gets to the image of the car drifting the track until it cuts out and closes down.

What can I do about this error??

Regards,
Chris

Do other opengl games work? What 3d card do you have?

[carsey]

Im not sure whether other opengl games work. I know tux karting works, but whether its the same i dont know.

I have a ATi Radeon 9200SE

Cheers

What package did you use to install?

[carsey]

hi,

I used synaptic Package manager to install the game.

I think i can only just say read the part where it goes off, I think it says something about audio drivers or something, but im not sure. It goes off really quick and I havent the chance to read it.

I got this when running in terminal mode.

Does that help??

Alright I'm not sure how you used Synaptic to install because there are no real Debian versions of the game, at least not the latest version. You need to either install from an autopackage or from source. You can get both of those from our SourceForge downloads page (linked above).
