Thursday Nights fun racing / Vale Dave-O
« on: December 12, 2023, 10:18:51 AM »
Hey guys, although I've been having a break from racing I try to keep up with the latest news. And I don't believe this has been posted before.

Those old enough to remember Dave-O (Dave O'Shea) will be saddened to learn that he passed away last July. I received a Christmas card from his family with a letter giving me the news. I remember racing with Dave and he was always the perfect gentleman and, like me, was happy just having fun toodling around at the rear of the field.

Unfortunately we've lost another one. RIP Dave.

Sorry guys, but my pc has given up the ghost and become so unstable I daren't race for fear of causing an accident. Going to start collecting parts for a rebuild. Not sure when but hopefully cya soon.

MIA again tonight guys, yet another Windows crash and re-install and I've lost all AC settings, and I have a black sky box, so a little sorting out to do. Who knew that Sim Racing would be this much fun. lol.

Hey Guys, I'll be missing again tonight. My PC is playing up again, and won't even boot up, unless you call a BSOD booting up. Automatic Repair doesn't help, so its back to the drawing board once again.

Good racing guys.

Yeah Wally, I've checked that out and also the Reliability History, but nothing specific from either of those for last night. That's why I'm thinking it might be AC related. Going to try some stuff tomorrow before I uninstall AC.

Hey Wally, I'm really starting to run out of ideas. I thought that I had it fixed but obviously not. I'll try turning down down some of the graphics settings in AC and see if that makes any difference. I am systematically updating all the drivers (creating Restore Points along the way) maybe that will solve the problem.

Automobilista 2 seems pretty stable at the moment, and I know that it is easier on PC demands so I am hoping that it is AC related. AC+CM+CSP+Sol, there's a lot there that can go wrong so I might uninstall the lot and start again.

Sorry Guys, my flaky pc is at it again, and locked up during the last race. :(

Thanks Wally, this pc has been a nightmare from the day I put it together. Mismatched and 2nd hand parts was not a good combination. Who could have guessed lol.

Hey Guys, sorry for the no show on Tues, but I was getting a "Custom Shaders' Patch is required for car to work" error.

I tried everything on Tuesday arvo, checked CM to make sure CSP was still active. I validated AC Local Files through Steam, D/L'ed latest CSP and Sol and followed install instructions, but I still got the same error. Gave up!!

This morning deleted AC folder in Documents and Hey Presto, all good again. I've been having so much trouble with this new cobbled together pc that I run out of patience far too quickly. Apologies.

Hey Dave, unfortunately it sounds like you are speaking from experience. They're not fun are they?

I don't think so Jarmel. I was feeling nauseous and couldn't concentrate. Trying to drive just made me feel worse. Unfortunately they are becoming more frequent as I get older. Oh the joys of decrepitude. LOL

Sorry for the no show guys, I had a migraine, which meant I couldn't concentrate and was over 5 second off the pace. A danger to all.

See you next week.

Hey guys I'm over Long COVID and thought I had finally got my PC running properly, so I was planning to join you again. But unfortunately AC has other ideas. The PC crashes continually with AC and when it does cooperate I cannot save, or load any setups. I think I will have to uninstall AC/CM/CSP and start again. In the mean time looks like I'm back to AMS2.

Enjoy the BTCC's they look like fun.

Thanks Phil and Seanus.

I know how you feel Phil, been ages since I seriously booted up AC. In the process of putting together a "new" computer out of whatever parts I can get, but seem to be running into compatibility problems, hopefully sorted soon.
