Hi there,
have played a couple of versions of PCM without issue and PCM11 worked fine for me initially but has now developed an odd problem in 3-d race mode:
In some races when i change the the camera angle to my normal one (overhead) the whole screen, except for the UI, just goes pale blue. the game doesn't crash and if i switch to helicopter view or motorbike, everything re-appears and looks fine. I can play through a race (though I can't really see what's going on from these cameras).
I've re-installed and updated graphics drivers, set everything as low as possible, I've reinstalled the game and even gone back to save before this started happening but it always starts happening again. I can simulate a race and then it might work again for a race or two but the issue always reoccurs.
Any ideas?

Did you try to use an old AMD driver? It sounds illogical, but it has worked in the past.
Basically, just try to go backwards driver for driver and check if it works. |

Thanks CrueTrue. you were quite correct it was a driver issue. ended up using the Omega drivers and everything is working fine now.

I have the same problem, and I don't know why.
It worked before, and I havent changed anything at all, and suddenly it won't work properly :/

I need help guys. I can't play PCM.
Will the trick with old drivers work with my Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT?

Sometimes a display driver will be installed when doing the windows updates.
In such a case, installing an older driver could solve the problem.
Of course you should go to the nVidia page to find a driver, not AMD. |

I have tried one older Nvidia driver, but that didn't work. I guess I will just have to try some more
