Since upgrading to Windows 10, I think it’s stable on Auto and DX 9, so you may be able to ignore this. This solved these types of crashes for me on Windows 7 (NVIDIA 980 TI). Try using DirectX 8, not Auto or 9 in GTR2Config.exe.If you experience graphics related crashes, such as ‘driver stopped responding’ black-screen freezes:.Ensure GTR2’s Video Options (GTR2Config.exe) has Full-Screen Antialiasing -> Disabled (Unchecked).For example, if you rerun the US/EU or NoCD patches mentioned earlier. Note: If you happen to overwrite your GTR2.exe file then you will need to run this again.
The 4GB patch appears to have successfully applied on the GTR2 NO CD patch GTR2.exe file I discussed above under the “Fixing Missing Original Content” heading. Simply download the 4GB Patch tool, run it, find your GTR2.exe file, and press OK. You may find this necessary as you add more and more mods with new assets that take up more and more memory. You can allow GTR2 to use up to 4GB of memory (it was developed with a 2GB limit). Some things can be improved like textures, visual effects, sounds, even AI and new and improved cars and tracks, themselves. GTR2 holds up remarkably well in the features department but shows its age in the level of quality we now expect of those features. Note: If you happen to do this step after running the 4GB Patch (below) then you’ll need to run the 4GB Patch again. There’s a Digital Distribution patch but that didn’t work for my Steam installation.
Hint: Install US/EU (as applicable) patch and then install No CD patch from files over at.
These are always annoying, here’s how to stop them ( from PC Gaming GTR2 article): This post will concern itself with stuff that isn’t immediately obvious. I will assume you’re like me and will play with all this stuff. I don’t have any particular recommendations for the obvious in-game settings just yet. Go ahead, setup your graphics, controls, and force feedback as you like. It’s pretty inexpensive but still offers good bang for the buck. Head over to the GTR2 store page and pick up the game.
