    Default Irritating Cannot load Static_weather0000.tga hang on startup

    Hello,
    I have re-installed the game to fix my online problem and run the full update 1255 and I am still getting hit with the "Cannot load Static_weather0000.tga" file hang up when starting the game. It doesn't happen all the time but just enough to piss me off...

    I can't find anything online that is in English that will help here. And the weird thing is the Static_weather0000.tga is a ghost and nowhere to be found on the HD (not that I know of anyway).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I have never heard of that problem -- anyone else have any experience with this error or any ideas?

    Val,

    After using Babelfish to translate a French forum to English, it appears that version 1.255 of rFactor has an issue with the background user interface file that required an "F" patch. Everyone here is running 1.255F and you can download the patch from ISI at http://www.rfactor.net/downloads/

    If you're already running v1.255F, I would try installing the "F" patch and see if that clears it up.

    I'm not 100% certain of this, but just throwing out thoughts and hoping it works.

    If not, we'll see what else we can find!

    Tim


    UPDATE: Just saw you were on the server turning laps Val, guess you got it worked out? What did you discover?

    Thanks David and Tim for your input.

    I will acknowledge your advice and administer. On my server issue, to fix it, I ended up just backing everything up that I wanted to keep and did a clean install. I don't know what the problem was. But I am now happy! (other than this little nuisance ghost file...)

    Thanks again!
