Track map issues in-game

Post by Rej40 »

Hi everyone,

I have been using GP2 for a long time with no real issues.
However, a few days ago when I booted the game, some of the track maps now look like this :

To update track maps, I use Fragata Track Manager through a VM of windows XP.
I tried re-updating it again, and no luck. Same screen.

Does anyone know what could cause this?
Thanks! :D

If I were you, I would take one of the track maps that works correctly and place it in the spot of one that doesn't.

See if it looks garbled like that.

That's a common issue when you change trackmaps/menu pictures and after that you export a carset that changes the menu helmets. There is no way to fix it that I'm aware of (except for restoring the original bitmaps/F1PCSVGA.BIN file). What I do is to export the carset and then export the maps and then make a copy of the f1pcsvga.bin file that I can use if it gets corrupted later.

Great!

I had a previous version of my GP2 folder and had a non-corrupted F1PCSVGA.BIN file.
I swapped them ... and ... it worked perfectly! All my menu track maps are restored :D

I'll make sure to keep a copy handy in case this happens again.

Thanks for the help!
