Does anyone know what the face type is on the stock arena models that BinEdit can't read? Any way of changing that in a hex editor, etc., instead?

Considering the duration between your life and time for stuff that will improve the game further into the future, I feel that it's the best way to go. Just saying.

Speaking of which, How come Jpez doesn't do any work for the community patch, given that he was the one that got the source code from TRI's Mark in the first place?

I don't really understand that comment...

But anyways, I and I am sure others would be glad to help, or even poke around. Sounds like Fila you have upgraded the project code to a more recent VS?

Huh?... What I meant was, the fact that all of these patches are run by one person, and he’s got life things to do in the process, so much of that time can be easily put through if multiple people got involved with the patches.

I can only imagine what the community would be like now if the drag system is modified for more advanced creativity than what TRI came up with back when MTM1 was being developed. Personally I’d love to see Team Death come up with some awesome concepts for some drags, as they are one of my favourite track makers, along with Yeastman and others.

Hmm, when I rebuilt my computer and put in the new M.2 socket hard drive, I loaded windows from scratch. I did a scan of the windows system32 directory with scannow in command prompt. It detected corrupted files and said it fixed them. Anyways, eventually I got mtm2 installed and up to beta par, but, when I installed windows, I wanted nothing to do with windows 10, so I took some moves. I installed Classic Shell, disabled the Action Center, removed some windows apps like Phone and People, and stupid crap like Maps. ANYWAYS, The scannow command fixed corrupt files it said, and the log said it used Windows Store to do it. However, I don't think MTM2 beta wants to "cooperate" with Classic Shell. In a game, it gets rendered but it's still in windowed mode. Literally, the game is rendered, but it's like the game is being played in a window.

There's a window with a title bar at the top called "Monster Truck Madness 2." BUT, this ONLY happens if you 'accidently' click the game during a race I think, because we were rumbling one time and my controls were set to keyboard instead of joystick, so I had to click the game to set the controls correct. However, F4 to get it back to rendering didn't fix the trick. It did, in a sense, fix the rendering, but still it showed the game in a window and the taskbar at the bottom, dunno why. The game was completely rendered and ran smooth, rendered by direct3D and not software rendering.

I think plays MTM1/2 in a fake full screen mode. Even back in Windows 95 it seemed to do that. I always thought it odd the taskbar could become visible, and the mouse was always visible, even in a race.

I don't know if the old directX version actually supported exclusive full screen mode.

It's obviously rendered though you can see the tail lights, which is strange. This only happened because I clicked the screen during gameplay (to set up controls) and it had to re-render it. Before I clicked it, it was completely full screen and completely fine.

So interesting error - I copied over my fully functional 0.43 folder from my desktop to my laptop...and on the laptop, I get an "Access Violation" when starting a race. Didn't have any issues on the desktop. Any thoughts?

Hey Cale, I kept getting that error when I would start a race with an invalid resolution? Maybe your other computer had a different one.

That sounds reasonable. I’m running dgVoodoo so I’ll cut it down to 640x480 and try upscaling from that.

If you're trying to use

-- 1360x768
-- 1366x768

They don't work with the new patches.
