How to create..... Trace file

Since some are having CTD with certain cars, a trace file is needed.

What is a trace file?
A trace is a simple text file that explains what the game is loading. If you get a CTD, the trace will point you directly to the problem.

How to get a trace?
Have a shortcut to GTL.exe on your desktop. Right click on it, goto properties, then add -trace=1000 to the taget line, ie F:\GTL\GTL.EXE so it now reads F:\GTL\GTL.EXE -trace=1000





Click apply then close. Now everytime you run GTL, there will be a trace file located in this directory, F:\GTL\UserData\LOG



open with notepad to read, or send to me to figure out your problem!

This also works for GTR2.....

can i change this topic to the support forum?

Sure

i did like u said but when i click on apply say its not correct the destination file

Windows 7 Dylan? If so, I'll look into it.

ok fix the problem loaded the 250 and again ctd...now i have the trace file...btw i use windows xp professional
how do i attach the trace file?

you can upload to mediafire, or you can copy everything inside trace.txt and paste it here

this the text of the trace file

Is there a way of doing a trace on Windows 7-----don't need it now but in the past it didn't work for me. Windows 7 file system is very different---also ASA's tracklinker doesn't work as well as the gearing mod.


Just for your information really---when I tried the Tracklinker program I ended up having to re-install 4 out of my 5 GTR2 installs---lol

That was a VERY BAD DAY

The problem with Win7 is UAC. There are 2 things you need to do.

1] install your games in a different location eg. C:\Games\....... , NEVER install games in C:\Program files\.................. OR C:\Program Files (x86)\...........
2] Disable UAC (uac interferes with all sorts of thing in games made for older versions of windows eg. plugins)

I have done the above and have no problems generating trace files etc. Although having said that there are still anomalies especially rfactor & the map plugin & the XD plugin (all games) these plugins work for a couple of game sessions then CTD the install until removed from the install - causes baldness funny thing is, some installs dont have any problems at all so maybe it is a combination of win7, certain mods & the magic smoke.

I always have a problem, there is no trace! I have it like this: "G:\Program Files\GTR2\GTR2.exe" -trace = 1000

can anybody help me?

Should be:
-trace=1000

not:
-trace = 1000

is there any space between ..............\GTR2.exe" and -trace=1000

EDIT: I found that the tyr. file was missing.

How did you fix it? I cannot make a trace because it says the directory is wrong.

*bump*
Please, how can I fix this problem, have a issue with a car I try to convert and don't know why.

Unable to read USERDATA\LOG\vehgen.scn: Error loading global material WC_CPIT01B


Help!

Probably missing texture for the cockpit mesh or inappropriate file name. Need to open the mesh containing this material WC_CPIT01B with 3DSimed or Vehicle Viewer to investigate.

Does someone know how to create a trace file in Windows 7?
