TOPIC:

I caved and got windows10 and now dtr2 will not open right. I can race in Quick race just fine but when I go to mulitiplayer is were I have trouble.

when joining a server i get into it ok and can set up cars setups and all but as soon as I hit the start button it hits the fan. I get to the track but the screen just jumps and flickers and I have to escape out to go back to the chatroom. I have tried all my video card settings and screen resolutions for game but need help. thank you.

I am having exact same issue...bit the bullet and upgraded..now if the loading screen does finish my car is flickering all over.

could it be some thing as stupid as maybe a firewall blocking it and not alerting you about it

try running as admin and making sure compatibility mode set for xp

Thanks for the suggestions there Rainman. Unfortunately I Tried those already as well with no success. I also found a post by Ranger a while back when he upgraded:

then run it to remove all the video drivers then went to nivia and downloaded the new driver for win 10 and did a install and all works. I did try to just download the new driver and run it but kept getting a error and it would not install . you need to run guru3d first and it should work. Hope this helps anyone who has a issue .
when I first upgraded I got the dreaded directx8 error but works now.

I have performed this twice now but it did not work for me. The game will load but during the pace lap the car is in mid-air twitching/hung up then when the green flag drops the car smacks the track and usually gets destroyed or flipped over. I am running an older Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 1GB PCIe video card. I went to nvidia and downloaded the latest windows 10 x64 drivers for the card, removed geforce experience and all nvidia drivers, ran the guru removal tool, rebooted and installed the new drivers from nvidia...same result. Hoping to upgrade video card eventually but it will be a couple months. Gonna keep hacking at it..any new suggestions appreciated.

Try running the game with the onboard graphics instead of the card.

Why don't you explain how idiot

Duster is tech literate, he knows how. But in case you aren't it is in the fucking DTR2 video settings. Like literally the first one.

Well I'm pretty sure mine won't let me select anything except my graphics card in dtr2 so...

MoBo doesn't have onboard video...just a few pci-e slots. At the moment that is the only decent pcie video card I have.

funny thing is that it works great offline..take it online to the same track and it flips out..even tried default tracks..still does it

Duster, have you tried downloading the version we have here on VLR? DB had the same issue as you and got the one from here and it fixed it.

so maybe thats all it is boomer should try it as well since hes have the same issue i just dont get it i didnt not have to download or change anything when i upgraded to windows 10 i just to allow it in the fire wall

try running earler drivers instead what came with pc some my games would not run on window 7 but after rolling back vid driver it works fine just a sujestion. btw id rather have xp easer and beter to run jmo

Having same issue with Mompers new laptop. Fine on single player, bad on multiplayer
And its the version from VLR

Same issue for me.. Wont be able to race cause of this crap

I've fought it for a week now. tried removing and reinstalling latest vid drivers, removed and reinstalled the game(vlr version), still no go

Just out of curiosity what video manufacturer is everyone using that is having probs?..I have a Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 running
Direct X 11.1..just wondering if the ATI fellas are having issues as well or is it something with Nvidia...or Direct X..or something completely different? lol

Also checked firewall settings...Game has full permission..still cheeses on the start in multiplayer

i have the GeForce GTX 970

Have you tried getting Windows 7?

But seriously, have you tried getting the drivers that you used on Windows 7?
