Good luck!

Could you do a quick test with this executables, just to see if it still crashes: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift/f...z/download

They are meant to be used with last test build (vdrift-win32-2014-07-20.7z).

Optionally, to get correct rendering you will also need to update data/shaders/gl3/deferred.conf :

vdrift_intel works fine, vdriftd_intel gives me an error

This is unrelated to vertex code. As long as it is not crashing the release build, it should be ok.

Did the log file ( C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\VDrift\log.txt ) contain any errors, except for the missing roads?

Something like: "ERROR: Framebuffer is not complete: ..."

I can't reproduce the crash, and the log file had been overwritten already.

Forgot about this one. After a crash the game will use failsafe settings. You have to delete C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\VDrift\VDrift.config to get the default settings back.

If I delete the conf file, the crash reappears. On second start, everything works again. Here's the log for he crash:

If I delete the conf file, the crash reappears. On second start, everything works again. Here's the log for he crash:

The "incomplete draw buffer" looks like another Windows driver bug, as I don't see it happen on other hardware or under Linux. Luckily it is not critical, so that we can leave it as is I think.

Btw the Linux driver for Intel graphic cards seems to be much superior compared to Windows, performance and feature-wise.

I have a feature idea. Coloring the racing line.
So red where you should brake, green for acceleration, yellow for nothing. Maybe it's possible to get that info from AI and apply to vertex colors ?
Example from commercial game here (since 1:40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl...9xRQ#t=101

It is weird, but for some reason I have always found this feature kinda distracting when trying to figure out the braking/acceleration points. But then I would prefer a training drive with a leading car to learn the track instead of a racing line. So yeah...

I see the additional value it provides though. I'll add it to the issue tracker. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sounds good to me
