A couple of weeks ago I installed Windows7 as a Dual-Boot set up and I installed GTR-E on there to try it out. I have been playing GTR-E for several hours most days for the past couple of weeks and it has run fine until 2 days ago when I started getting Texture problems and lock-ups, as I do occasionally when using XP (these problems were discussed on RSC), nothing has changed on the machine so I find it strange that it should run fine for 2 weeks on a fresh install and then start crashing.
I have just been looking around and noticed there is a radial.cdb file in race 07\UserData\ContentCache. On the XP side it was 2.36MB and on the Windows7 side it's currently 2.42MB.
This file is the cause of crashes in TDU and several other games. I don't have experience of this except in TDU and deleting the file every so often prevented any problems with losing saved game progress etc, people had .bat files set up to delete it at start or end of each session but I used to delete it manually after every couple of sessions.
I'm curious as to whether this is the cause of any of the problems in Race07/GTR-E.
I've just deleted the file on the XP side and then done a couple of laps on a track and at the end of the session it was 1.15MB, I seem to recall I had problems in TDU when the file grew to about 2.5MB which coincidentally isn't far off the size of my current file on Windows7.
I could be barking up the wrong tree here but could those that have frequent corruption or game lock ups try deleting this file at the start of your session and post back whether it helped or not.
Anyone any thoughts on this and being as RSC is down does anyone know if SimBin guys visit here?
Google radial.cdb for more info.
Regards
