*sigh* I did exactly what you said with the NVIDIA Control Panel, but I cannot seem to force the game down to 30FPS, just so that I can enjoy the Drag mode knowing that the trucks wouldn't be so painfully slow to stage, nor cross the center line on the J Drags every single time.

Leaving me to ...

I run MTM1 in Software Rendering, since running it in dgVoodoo, despite reasonably quality terrain textures, the textures on the trucks are awful, to a point where I can't really be bothered using it.

I'll try the NVIDIA Software method once I'm back home, hopefully it will be better than trying to ...

It works! Whoopee!

And with that I'm calling this one closed and it's on to other things. Maybe de-making my customs for MTM1? More drags? More gasser trucks? We'll see.


Yes! More drags! There's all sorts of locations I can think of... Louisiana Superdome, Bloomsburg Fairgrounds, some of the ...

Sadly, that doesn't work either.

Righto. The crashing has stopped, only now is a new problem...

With both Dxtory and MTM1 running at once, Dxtory for whatever reason can't seem to pick the executable running in the background, and will not show up in the profile tab as a result.

This is just making me even more angrier than ever ...

The Windows XP SP 3 comp mode seemed to work for a short period, only for the app to start bombarding me with the same error message once again. :x

By the way, I'll post the log in case someone here notices anything odd...

I've been trying to use Dxtory to run MTM1 with the 30FPS cap set, mostly for the trucks on Drag tracks to work correctly, but all I ever get out of it is this error message which will crash the app afterwards.

Has anyone else here had this issue ...

Uhh... Cale...

You're not going to like this... But the TRUCK.POD file is still giving away the "Unable to open cockpit file" message upon startup. In fact, I'm only assuming this is probably why, the POD file suggests that it's last modification was around 5/04/2026, which would've been around the ...

So basically, whatever CPU you have on your PC right now, the game will just behave a certain way with it? That would explain some of the nuisances I've had playing the MTM games throughout various PCs over the years, even GPUs have the same problem, much like with the first version of Comm Patch #2 ...

One thing I do love about it, is how I can simply look at a track before even driving it, it helps a lot since most addon tracks will have things ranging from blind corners, off track excursions, obstacles that I wouldn't have any warning of whatsoever, roads that deviate from the actual course path ...

Did you know that the hidden track in MTM1, Hill Climb Practice, it's actually Ymir, a planet of Terminal Velocity ?

I was going to make a topic about it in case if anyone else hasn't discovered it yet. Looks like I'm not the only one! :lol:

To unlock it, it's as simple as opening the MTM1's ...

(or point it at a CORS-enabled URL)

I've been doing all sorts of Google searches about how to do it, but they all just provide explanations on how it works, can't seem to find a straightforward step by step how to, on top of that, verbal/written learning is nothing but a blank void to me, as I'm ...

So, for what it's worth, I just loaded up the drag into the PCEm virtual machine I've been using for my MTM1 sessions recently (A Pentium II/450 MHz config) and with that the computer trucks are competitive but definitely beatable, which makes me wonder if drags are just simply broken altogether ...

If there are multiple trucks in a single pod it should work fine. The issue is if there are multiple pods in a zip file. Can you link to an example?


This pack in particular, with only one truck accessible, that being Scarlet Bandit, and no Bounty Hunter to gain access to.

This is a well known issue with higher amounts of 256x256 textures, and nothing Fila has yet fixed will address this. Something changed in the game engine pretty significantly between MTM1 and MTM2 because MTM1 trucks use 10-12 high-res textures with no issues, but my HD trucks use only 3 a piece ...

Alpine's Certifiably Crazy, with all 8 Cale's HD Trucks, along with the 120 tile draw distance maxed out.

Let's just say, although the lag is still there, the partially decoupled FPS's micro stutter effect is acting like a compensation to sort of blend in at it's laggiest moments, to a point where ...

Done some toying around with it for the first time, and I gotta say, I really love it, definitely a lot better than simply looking at the truck via pic previews.

Of course, it's not always a 100%, as there are issues with some of the trucks uploaded over the years, but the main gear grinder that I ...

I just did a little experiment with this patch, or rather, a stress test of the game's engine in it's current state.

By the way I always wanted to port the extra MTM64 tracks to MTM2. I wonder if there's any method to tear apart the mtm64 rom and have a look


This is the only MTM64 track that I know of for MTM2...

Back Tracks, which is basically MTM64's ...

Those truck viewer screens, it's looks a lot like the truck select menu from MTM64.



Is this supposed to be a niche little reference, or just pure coincidence?
