Screen goes black in the editor (TM Canyon)

[Blairvoyach1]

It happens randomly, I can still see the info bar at the bottom and sides but the track and the icons are gone, just a black screen. Leaving the editor and restarting it only clears it about 50% of the time and then I have to restart the whole game.

It's all older stuff but TMC FLIES on it, just the editor causes a little frustration.

Can you try with all configuration in minimum?

Tried it with all settings at lowest, same thing happens. Normally I would just quit the game, restart and all is well but this time I tried going to windowed mode and back and while it clears the screen, it is for a shorter time each time until the game locks up.

I've had the same thing happen now in the game itself. I can see my car and other players cars but no background, everything is black. Going to windowed mode brings it back but as above for a shorter time each time.
also,
I get a dialogue which says that framerate is low and I need to lower my settings, I do this but the dialogue comes back after a few seconds asking to lower settings further. It does this until the game locks.

Hope this helps, if you need any more info, just ask.

Regards, Jeff.
