2008-03-25 16:24:15 - Sailrace keeps on crashing
I have been having a lot of problems with Sailrace continually bugging out. My system is XP(sp2) i'm running the beta 7 version of the game.It will run well for a while and then just stops working and closes down. I have thought that the problem could be that there was an error within Windows, so I have just formatted my drive and reinstalled. The game ran for ablout 3/4 of an hour.

What can I do to stop this from happening?
Any suggestions will be apreciated.

Hi grumfoss - I have no idea why this happens, I have isolated reports of the client crashing but it doesn't seem to be widespread and I cannot see the reason.

Do you have an ATI graphics card?

Hi Kalle
Thanks for the reply, no I have a Nvidia 8800GT graphics card with the latest drivers.
It only appears to happen on my main computer (Intel core duo E6300 on an Asus P5B deluxe mainboard)The Computer was overclocked but I have put all settings back to standard and I still have the problem. It works fine on my laptop (Intel core 2 Duo T5500- Nvidia graphics as well.

I hope this helps

Hi kalle,
Just a quick update on the problem. I went to Microsoft update site and manually downloaded many updates that my computers hadn't downloaded. I also found that the Auto updates settings were incorrect within Windows.
Since I have done this Sailrace is running much better.

(the only problem i have now is my inability to sail well ;) )
May the Foss be with you...

Thanks for the update! I'll keep that in mind when someone asks in the future - I think the problem is worse now when microsoft has locked out all non-"genuine" versions from auto update.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
