THis track is making GTL CTD for me, anyone else deen this or have a workaround?
1967 Watkins Glen

- Start date
seen even, also getting this wth the Targa Florio track
Still having problems, anyone know a way of debugging this? Most added circuits work fine but a couple cause a CTD and you cannot restart the game until you have removed the track folder which is causing the problem from the locations directory forcing GTL to reset the track selection.
I have had this happen on several occasions. First thing I tried was running the track in practice mode. If it works for practice mode what is happening is the track is takeing up too much memory. Try reducing the field. Are you using the core tool? I started using it and I am not having any issues with slow downs, stuttering or tracks crashing.
I doubt that the tracks are taking too much out of my machine, Its an AMD ryzen 7 3700 8 Core CPU with 16Gb ram and a Geforce RTX 2070 with 8 Gb, but I will try the core tool, what is that though?
The Process Lasso? Yes I have been using that. No luck so far, Brand Hatch, Cadwell, LeMans and Monaco are all working fine, its just these two tracks that are causing a problem. I would especially like to get Targa working.....
OK, I have already installed the 1oth anniversary patch and then did the 4Gb patch after as I had not realised it was included. This has not helped on GTL and I still have the problem however on P&G3.2 with the GTR2 exe 4gb patched Targa now works. Great for P&G but not GTL. Wish I could find a solution to this.
I have made a lighter Targa version for both GTR2/GTL, as GTR2 works for you then I give you the link for GTL :

Hope it will work for you

Sorry, no change, splash screen comes up for a second as the track starts to load and then CTD. I have a bit of a monster machine for running GTL so surprised if its the 2-4Gb thing, I really appreciate all your help BTW.
Machine is: AMD Ryzen 7 3700 8 Core CPU with 16Gb ram and a Geforce RTX 2070 with 8 Gb
Although process lasso reports 15 cores. I trimmed that down to 8 in process lasso as well just in case but that made no difference. I only have the problem with Targa and Watkins Glen, I am sure it would happen with others but I have not downloaded that many.
LeMans LM 77 and 79 are fine and they are quite chunky tracks and all the others I have downloaded are fine as well.

James,
i have not ran GTL for many years but i spotted your post.And as i had worked on this track for RF1 many years ago it made me interested.
I loaded GTL and Watkins and it worked. I would look again at the install or perhaps the down load. my specs Win10, 970 GFX, 16gb, i7 (no patch )
I know this is not an answer but perhaps an incentive to try afresh.

Hello Philrob, thanks for that, I have appreciated MANY of your tracks over the years and in No Grip days. I will download the tracks again from scratch and see what happens.
there was a script someone made called "GDBrename.exe" that was commonly run in a batch file before GTL.exe started
I believe it fixed some upper/lower case names & extensions, maybe even permissions? in the GTL install, that could cause instability like this
I just searched online & couldn't find it though
if it's any use, I can zip up my version & upload here

GDB_rename
this is a utility that renames the .gdb files in your game install, so they are all lower case I am not the author, but I downloaded it from NOGRIP years ago and used it to launch GTL every time. it avoided online track mismatch issues, I...

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help, no time today but I will try this tomorrow.
No luck so far, downloaded it fresh and installed it again, same thing, it crashes right after a flash of the loading splash screen with the GTO on it. Nickel20, how do I run a trace file? I tried changing cars in case that was the problem but no. I was only running the Lotus Cortina which I had been using on may other circuits anyway.
Ah OK will have a look, Many thanks guys I do appreciate it. Just did a youtube on P&G at Targa with the 427 Cobra, would like to compare with GTL. Lots of crashes as I don't know the circuit and at 44 mile it will take a while but good fun none the less.
