Nothing works for me... i installed the game on starforce-free enviroment, with my only ide device (a dvd drive) unplugged from both cables. After the initial launch the game requested a restart in order to complete SF installation and after it, launching the game would only give me "insert licensed disk, bla...bla" after 2-3 minutes of checking (and stuttering the pc). I installed and uninstalled for 5-6 times and tried various other things such as SFuck, SFNightmare, SFCure, but nothing did the trick. The interesting thing is that Chaos Theory and X3 run just fine with only the cables unplugged provided they were installed while the dvd was up and running and disabled later, but TOCA3 just won't start. Also with plugged cables both SCCT and X3 work with SFuck and SCCT works with SFNightmare + SFCure, but TOCA won't run with SFN+SFC or SFuck... damn it. At least I hope the game is not worth it so much after all...

(some info: XPSP2, nforce 4, no usb storage devices, sata harddrives)

anyone ever noticed any of the comp cars to make a mistake? like crashing ,going onto the grass ,bumping into another AI car? im upto tier 10 in the world tour and ive never noticed it happen and i watch quite a few of my replays while i have a smoke so i get to see what the cars are doing behind me alot.

its like they are all perfect drivers ,even if your behind a car and right on its arse for a whole race they never make a mistake ever and all i do is match there speed unless i take a short cut on a chicane or something.
in RL in racing where the cars are really evenly matched most overtaking is due to putting pressure on the guy infront until he makes a mistake.

the AI never trys to block you or anything either makes for some pretty dull racing i might aswell be against the clock half of the time.

i remember in the very first toca game they did that only had british touring cars the AI used to bump quite alot and you would notice AI cars driving around with damage in this game there might aswell not even be a damage system and the damage system is always the thing they try to say is great about the game

I believe you need to enter a cheat code for a boost key to work.

yea disabling the ide channel your drives are on in the bios works only noobs physically unplug cables Laughing


You are joking I hope ? Because if not you just proclaimed yourself king of noobs.

disabling the ide channel my drives are on works for me ,if it doesnt work for you then you are probably turning the wrong ide channel off.

windows doesnt know the drives exist if you disable the ide channel its exactly the same as pulling the ide cable out the drive.

if windows doesnt know the ide channel exists starforce cant know there is any cd drives Rolling Eyes


Just because you can do it doesnt mean everyone can, and I do know what IDE channels do what on my mobo, I do build the damn things. I have had several pcs since Starforce came along, 1 Nforce 2 chipset, 1 via chipset, and now nforce 4 chipset, on none of these did disabling IDE channel optical drive was on work(tried both bios and device manager), always had to unplug the power lead. Now I just use external Dvd, nothing on IDE at all.

Once again, just because YOU dont have to doesnt mean that people who do are NOOBS. Thats just ignorant. Rolling Eyes

This game works fine, running of an image burnt to dvd from my external usb dvd.

in some of the classes your car is faster on the straights on the ones where its not by default you can tune your car and make it quicker ,i think they assume as people reach the higher tiers they will start tuning there cars for performance

u can't add extra bhp/speed in tuning & it doesn't make any diffrence anyway,btw ai never makes mistakes & i managed only ones to send one of them spinning but if they touch my rear bumper off i go Rolling Eyes ,also is it realy so hard to make wheel in cockpit view

u can add straight line speed if its a car with spoilers ,if you change the gearing it just fucks the topspeed over the stupid tuning window shows the top speed as beeing far more than what it ends up beeing if you try to change the gear ratio's aswell which is just stupid.

ive won every championship so far though in world tour ,not sure what tier im at but i just did the tier with the 1970's GT cars ,the last 2 tiers have been really easy for me ive won races with atleast a 10second lead which seems wierd because some of the other lower tiers seemed fairly hard.

For the protection, the game works fine for me (running it on nForce4 system). Didn`t have to unplug the cables from DVD-writer, or use any external applications, just disabled DVD-writers IDE channel from device manager. Very Happy

This may sound stupid but, can you tell me the exactely how you did it?

Edit: NM i figured it out, i had to have the wingman (ACTIVE) BEFORE i started the game so it was recognized lol, wow im glad it was a simple fix Rolling Eyes i dont use this wingman often enough you'd think i know better anyway huh? Wink

The only thing that I realy Realy REALY hate in this game atm is that your car is like a feather compared to AI's cars. AI barely touches me and I fly off the track, but if I ram into AI, it just continues driving like nothing happened and I still end up going off the track.

It's also annoying that all the AI cars ALLWAYS does perfect start and I end up in the middle from 1st position just after start, and then restart and hope for better start :/

Over than that I love this game Twisted Evil

Id have to say my biggest bitch is the AI constantly performing the PIT manuver (where you tap the guy ahead of you and push his left or right rear end over causing him to spin out wildly) i get sooo fucking mad. Funny you never see the AI miss a turn too wide or even crash into each other and spin out. Rolling Eyes

Other then that i think its a neat game.

I don't really get the online part. I know you can spend the points you earn. But is it only in the race you are - that you can use them, or are the saved forever?

no idea not tried online yet.

so far im upto about tier 16 in world tour and im starting to get pretty bored and frustrated now ,ive won every championship so far but it feels almost like the kind of grind you get in an mmo Laughing

one thing that really pisses me off is the qualifying ,2 wheels touch the dirt and your laptime isnt recorded which is kinda retarded considering that in formula one which is considered the pinacle of motorsport you see drivers touching the dirt with 2 wheels all the time and using every inch of tarmac available even if it isnt inbetween the two white lines and there lap times still count Rolling Eyes

in races sometimes you can make a mistake and end up in the gravel doing 40mph while the ai cars charge by at 100+ yet the game still considers it a short cut Laughing
