First of all: The accepted solution in another thread did not work - but since it's marked as "SOLVED" I rather open a new one.

Now to the problem: Moto Racer 2 changes the resolution, creates a black screen for about a second and shuts down immediately afterwards, so I crash to desktop.

I tried different manual start parameters (like the keepvram stuff) but nothing worked. MR2 always does the same - only the delphine.err varies a bit.


Any help please? I can't play this game, no matter what I do. System specs:

Windows 7 64bit
nVidia / EVGA GTX 570hd
ASUS P5WDG2-WS (Intel(R) 82801GB/GR (ICH7 Family))
Intel Core2Duo E6600
8gb ram
-2gb QSoft Enterprise ram drive
Adaptec RAID 31205

Here's my delphine.err when running without manual settings:

Cannot initialise screen mode

I had this same problem on Win 7 (but not on XP). The only way to get rid of it that worked for me was to simply uncheck the Direct3D option in the launcher. The game doesn't look as nice, but it does run.

Sadly that doesn't work for me either :(

With unchecking the Direct3D box I only get the title screen with a mouse cursor - and when it "fades" out, the game crashes to desktop again with Win7 telling me "has stopped working".

Running as administrator doesn't make a difference.

I found a solve on Win 7 x64 :
Make a shorcut of file moto.exe in the folder of Motoracer 2,
edit the properties and add this in the target box:

-d3d -KeepAvailableVram1073741824

Also add -fr if you are french or other languages -sw, -sp, -it, -gr, -us.
(for Skip intro add -SkipIntro) apply and gooooooooo !

:-)

I think I found a solution to this video problem on how to get Moto Racer 2's Direct3D mode to work with Windows 7. When a user checks their "delphine.err" file in the game's "data" folder, a lot of times the "Memory used" section will have a negative number such as "-6451200" and then say "(!) INCORRECT VRAM PARAMETERS!"

It looks like the game is misinterpreting the total amount of RAM on the computer and gets a negative number instead of a positive one. So my solution was to enter a negative VRam number in the parameters in the GOG Launcher. To try this fix, click on the on the default Moto Racer 2 Launcher, make sure DirectX 3D is selected and then select "Manual Settings." In the new window enter this:
-D3D -KeepAvailableVram-1073741824 -skipintro

Notice that the "-KeepAvailableVram" value is a negative number. If this doesn't work for you, try using a negative number that's either higher or lower. Hope this helps!

Not sure about OP but this got the game running in Direct3D for me! thank you!!!

Got working now, thanks so much :)

Thanks, this did the trick, now the game looks amazingly better!

Wow, this is the only advice that works. You da man!

Thanks, I wanted to try the game today and after nearly pulling my hair out, I checked here and what you posted worked.

This works for me! I'm on Windows 7 but finally I fixed that problem by using dgVoodoo. I had negative values on the delphin.err too, but on the "Memory detected" attribute and not on the "Memory used" one. dgVoodoo solved that.

In dgVoodoo is possible to assing VRAM maually, so I selected a value and deleted the "KeepAvailableVram" paramenter from the .ini file, because that value was higher than the dgVoodoo assigned memory, so that was keeping my game crashing.

Probably it could work by lowering the KeepAvailableVram value too and not just by deleting it.

Now my D3D is working fine!

Setting like the attatchment pic , In the GOG Galaxy client --> setting -->add command line parameter-->
add: -d3d -KeepAvailableVram1073741824

The Game runs . May this will help you.

Even with dgVoodoo I was getting black screens that I couldn't even quit out, had to ctrl+alt+delete log off to kill the app.

"-D3D -KeepAvailableVram-1073741824 -skipintro" fixed it, now I can play at 1440x1080 without any issues aside from those resulting from my lack of skillz.
