outrun 2006 white screen freeze after logos?

<< < (2/3) > >>

VirtuaIceMan:
This sounds odd, I did a quick test of Outrun 2006 on my GTX 980 on Win8.1 and it worked fine, not reinstalled it yet after installing hundreds of other games though.

Maybe a Windows update knobbled something? I do get issues with numerous games on mine, crashing randomly to desktop, but they tend to be late 90s-mid 2000s games like NFS Porsche and NFS Hot Pursuit 2, haven't yet debugged them, as some people with similar set up say they run fine.

Could be issue with Nvidia newer drivers, or some other drivers, or RAM?

MrThunderwing:
I can confirm you don't need to play Outrun C2C in XP compatibility mode, it works fine on both of my Windows 7 PCs. Is your new PC a custom build from scratch or have you upgraded an existing PC? I've heard of people having all sorts of issues with new GPUs if you've still got remnants of the drivers from the old PC hanging around (if you've changed from an ATI card to NVIDIA for example). The fact the Outrun config won't load at all is very odd - have you tried re-installing the game itself?

Other things to think about: is there's some issue with the motherboard drivers and the GPU or is there maybe damage to the GPU affecting the video RAM? Is the GPU overheating? Have you got an adequate PSU?

Reinstall did the trick. Config and everything worked fine. Odd thing but I'm happy to have it running. Looks great aside from the HUD elements being too low-resolution, but such is to be expected on high-res displays.

Either way, thanks for all of the help!

Chris2:
For the sake of not making a new thread, can anyone identify the kind of wheel used in OutRun 2 arcade machines, and whether or not it's possible to use it on a PC? I have a logitech wheel that I use but it simply has too much turning resistance, and it doesn't feel true to the arcade wheel.

MrThunderwing:
I'm not an authority on the subject or anything, but I'm pretty certain the steering wheel on an Outrun 2 arcade machine is a bit of custom made kit designed to be an integral part of the machine itself and isn't something you could just easily get your hands on like a PC steering wheel. The actual issue you're having though is to do with software rather than hardware, specifically the PC version of Outrun Coast 2 Coast has a much greater deadzone than the actual arcade versions of Outrun 2 and Outrun 2 SP. This means that even if you were able to get your hands on an actual OR2 arcade steering wheel and get it working on a PC it still wouldn't feel 100% like the arcade version unfortunately.

There are things you can do to try and make it more arcade like though with your current wheel. in the in game options try putting your X axis steering sensitivity right up to maximum. Try seeing if there's an option to increase the spring tension within the logitech profiler as well (I've got a Driving Force GT myself, but must admit I don't really play around with the options in the profiler that much, but I'm sure there's an option to do that). I seem to recall that Isamu who posts stuff here from time to time is a bit of an expert at this sort of stuff, so maybe he might be able to give you some more specific advice.
