Core crashes

[C21]

Hawk, i did a Freshly install of win7 64Bit on a Brand New Laptop. No Software/games installed besides a fresh GPB4B. No mods.
I was convinced that the complaint was resolved but At the First Testing on the GP125 Hotlap Server i got the Core.exe back again.

Same as before (i.e. crash on 1st turn) ?

Silly question maybe, but what the GPU of the laptop ? Are graphics drivers up to date ?

MaX.

Weird... Is it possible that the core crashes have something to do with your GUID or username?

Yes, 1st left corner.
Desktop:
AMD 955BE (not overclocked) , 8 GB RAM DDR3 1600, Geforce 560TI 1GB RAM, Forceware 320.49, Win7 Enterprise 64bit

Laptop:
Intel i7/4700MQ , 4GB RAM DDR3 1600, Geforce GTX765M 2GB RAM, Forceware 327.62, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I tried different forceware drivers on the desktop with no result.

@Arvoss
Hmm...i had the same idea a few days ago but did not get serious with it.

@RBp

try different compatibility, might work on 95 or something else.

I did not thought that it would make sense to test that but...
i did a back to back test:
win7 -> crash 1st left corner
win XP SP3 compatibilty -> can play 3 laps or about 5-7min
win7 -> crash 1st....
it is reproducable!!!!!
tbc.

Edit:
Tried XP SP2 compatibility -> can play until now....but server not emtpy.
keep you updated.

Edit2:
XP2 -> can play about 8minutes more or less on empty server

Complaint seems to be solved.....hopefully.
I played for about 30minutes on the HL GP500 server in.......

Windows 2000 compatibility mode 
.

and got not any core.exe!!
Server was empty.

@Max
Maybe you can add this to your unofficial guide?!

Thanks to all who supported my way of pain 
Big Thanks to (Super  )MAX and RBp who did it with his suggestion trying different compability modes.

Great work guys!!!
But the question is: WHY?!!!!!

[HornetMaX]

Happy you managed to solve it, even if I'm more than puzzled by the solution.

I have 7 too (Ultimate x64) and for sure I don't use any compatibility mode. And I think I'm not the only one.

@Max

Hmm, before even mentioning this as a possible solution to problems, I'd like to see this confirmed by others having the same problem as you: ghostchild, BozoCRO ?

MaX.

[Warlock]

Mine is Win7 x64, no problems, only the common crashes.

[BozoCRO]

it's still too early to say, but it seems to work.

In Beta 3 I had a core at start up. I just couldn't start the game. Tried it in every compatibility mode and it only worked in Windows 95. The game worked but the graphics weren't as good as the normal game.

[Hawk]

I use Win 7 Ultimate X64, and I have never used compatibility mode.

[C21]

I have never ever used the comp mode before either on any game in the last 4 or more years.
But it works for me.
I can always reproduce that.
Empty server:
Starting in non compatibility mode leads to core.exe in the 1st right or left corner after pit out. EVERY TIME! (I tripple checked that).
The same in win xp -> drive 3 laps
The same in win2000 -> drive ~30 minutes or more. (did not play longer yet on one server).

It sounds strange but it is how it is.
I´ve never ever thought that this will resolve the complaint......that´s the reason why i tried that so late 

EDIT:
It does not resolve the problem at all!!!

So...Guys that have a lot of cores should play on compatibility mode 2000 for a week and share the results. I don't think this will solve the core problem but they will be able to say if they get 20% less cores, 50%, 80%,... I'm curious to see those results.

[RBp]

NP buddy, glad it working for ya

[C21]

compatibility win2000 works for ~30minutes and then core.exe (right now).
will try win 98/ME.
Edit:
win98/ME demands a new registration....skipped that.
Will stick on win2000 compability.
Not the best solution but i can play online......

Yes, Arvoss it does not solve the core problem but i can count laps which i was not able to do before.
Tested it back again.
Win 7 gave me a core.exe right at the damn 1st left.....
