Basically im having 2 problems with my MTM game - The first of which is the most annoying. Some of the trucks I've downloaded work well and others... not so much.

The problem with some of the custom made trucks is they lag the game like crazy. (ex - Thunder Chicken, Pony Express, Blue Angels, Virginia Giant). Most of the time I can get these trucks to run smoothly with a smaller field of only 2 other trucks. But hell, its not fun racing only 3 computers. (mostly cause computers suck. x.x)


While other trucks work perfectly with a full crowd and a smaller crowd. (ex - No Problem II, Star Monster, Taurus II, AM/PM Rocket).

Is this the truck maker or is it just me? (*Note, all reflections are off*)

Secondly, I have about a 30 second blank screen before the game decides to start loading the race. No idea why, I've tried putting graphics all the way down and its still there, so I just kept it all the way up.

O.o Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these problems?

Easy fix buddy, as much as it may hurt, but... in your MTM2 folder, find the MTM2 High Scores file, it keeps track of all your personal best lap times for each tracks, once that gets too big, it needs to be axed.

You cant edit it, so you have to delete it. What I do is save the old one, and then the game will create an all new one for ya, just delete or save your current one, and enjoy.

That will speed up the game loading issue, but you really gotta "Dumb" the game down when you're running reps or customs, turn off all reflections, dont reflect the water, lay off the smoke, shadows (if you must), view distance, back everything off and it'll run much faster for many more years of enjoyment.

You gotta remember, no matter how much of a hot rod computer you're running it on, the game was made in 1997 or so, she's old.

uh, does player.pro actually effect the loading b4 the race? I found RAM availbility greatly did, on 32 megs free, there was a 40 second black screen lol. on 64 there was 15 seconds. on 128 there was 3 seconds, on 512 there was 1 second, on 768 there was maybe half a second.

THat's just my findings.

Thanks guys, I think its working now.
