Issues Fixed

Crash at startup

Use nGlide in 3DFX mode[4]
  1. Download and install nGlide.
  2. Start the game using rlr_3dfx.exe.
Alternatively, use dgVoodoo 2 for either (3DFX or D3D) renderers[5]

Music does not play or loop

Fix CD audio not looping on Windows Vista and newer operating systems[6]
  1. Rip your game CD-ROM's music to MP3 format and place it in a folder on your computer.
  2. Download the patched _inmm.dll, and install it.
  3. Inside <path-to-game>, patch rlr_3dfx.exe, rlr_D3d.exe, and rlr_i740.exe by dragging them onto _inmmconf.exe.
  4. Open _inmmconf.exe and set DirectShow player for default file type in the method tab, as well as the MP3 type.
  5. In the _inmm.ini tab, add the audio files you have ripped. Make sure the order is correct, and then save it in <path-to-game>.

Unable to move bikes on certain tracks

Enable Vsync or set an FPS limit[citation needed]
