GTR2 at Windows 10 - my story

Hi chaps, something more about Win10 and my PC (Nvidia sli). Yesterday I updated to v1903 and the latest Nvidia 430 drivers. At first my soundblaster X-fi  was dead after the update but there are beta drivers from creative to solve this. The good thing - it seems they have solved the problem with DX9 Sli !  All is working at same speed now as in Win8.1. The only difference is you must use "enhance driver settings" instead of "override any driver setting" in Nvidia profileinspector to get your settings to work. For Gtr2 I use 8x multisamplig + 8x sparsegrid supersampling.

I can't get GTR2 to work on my Windows 10 gaming laptop. Does only work with the Steam version? Or can you get it to work with the CD version?

I have the CD version but I didn't install from CD. I use a backup of a default install with update and noCD executable with 4Gb patch. I think it's years ago that I hold the CD in hands

Hey guys Ive installed a fresh install of gtr 2 dvd version i applied the 10 year anniversary patch. I ran the game no problems selected track car and setting and click race and i ctd. I was thinking that this was a problem with the anniversary patch so i uninstalled gtr 2 and installed a fresh vanilla version and i get the same problem. I am running windows 10 and i used to be able to run it fine. now after a hdd update it doesn't want to work. Any help would be great. Thanks
