all i get when i start the game is a little box with the GSCconfig but doesn't matter what i change on it when i hit ok the box just goes away then pops up again with default settings

[Coldone69]

just loaded formula truck and it had the same config window pop up but once i set it up it worked but stock car extreme still won't run wtf?

Have you followed the guide that's posted above? The config settings going to default after closing is probably because you are running it through the steam launcher. Try right clicking on GSC and click on run config utility I believe, and change your settings close it and reopen the config the same way to see if it has saved your settings.

[alex_sawczuk]

Make sure you don't have anything in the steam launcher commands

I'm running on Windows 7 and initially the game didn't run at all. I updated my video drivers, and the game started running, but now every time i click the mouse it crashes. It's weird because i installed the standalone Lite version, and it worked just fine. Copa Petrobras de Marcas works as well.

Any tips?

Sorry, I've never heard of an issue where it crashes everytime you press the mouse... Contact [e-mail]

Hi
I have the game installed for a long period. However, after having changed my install to Steam, the game has sudenly got extreme slow. The opening scene almost goes frame by frame, and the game performance is terrible. What could I do?

I'm getting this error in some mods and tracks. This trace happened when I tried to run a Dedicated Server with Stockcar V8 and Interlagos:

Going through all the thread trying everything I can. Still will not work. Comes up with the message;

Crash File [C:\Users\MIKECA~1\AppData\Local|Temp|gs5\crashdumps\GSC.10812.mdp] is created!

So, I just now found another thread and they said to delete d3d9.dll from the GSCE folder....and it now works :)

Hi, my game has developed a problem which is that the cockpit of my car is "blacked out". Ths has happened after I downloaded the Cart Extreme mod. I have followed the guide lines in the "3rd party mods breaking the game" section and re-verified the game cache but the problem is still there, . PC spec: Windows 10 64 bit, Intel i7-4790k 4ghz CPU, 16gb Ram, Direct x 12.0, Nvidia Geforce GTX980 graphics. I have run the game with "-trace=5" in Launch Options and created the log file but I dont know how to create a link to this file. Any help with getting me racing again would be much appreciated, thanks.

I have the non-Steam version installed and after the 1.5 update the game does not start.
I get a black screen and an error report about an "fatal error compiling pixel shader"
I did everything you said I should in your "must read" announcement.

I have the Steam version of the game and I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I also did everything in the "must read" instructions, including running DXSETUP.exe and deleting d3d9.dll.

The full text of the error report is:

"gMotor 2 Error

Fatal error compiling pixel shader ps20_blinnBumpSpecMapT0T1Custom.
Please compile offline for more info."

What seems really strange to me is that there is no comma after "Please"....

No, seriously, what seems a bit strange to me is that when I tab out of the black screen and hover above the game icon in the taskbar, the miniature screen that pops up says "Game Stock Car v1.700"... Shouldn't this be v1.5? I smell something fishy here...
