Hey all,

I have 0.9.7 beta, r3878. I can play other games just fine, albeit slowly, such as Katamari Damacy and Shadow of the Colossus.

I can start up Burnout 3, and I can select a race, then it goes through the driver training video. After that, it hits the loading screen, and crashes just before loading the actual section of gameplay.

If I set GSdx9 to Software Rendering, then it runs fine, but obviously with greatly reduced performance.

My system:
P4 3.2GHz
GF 6600GT
1.5GB RAM
WinXP

I left pretty much everything at default settings, but if you'd like more information, please ask.

Any ideas on how to get the game to run?

kindly attach your emulog.txt.

I was playing around with some of the GSdx9 settings on this run (in an effort to find a solution through trial and error), but when I left everything at the default, I'm pretty sure it was exactly the same.

What are your GSdx settings? Try enabling the "native" and enabling/disabling the "allow 8-bit textures" options.

I've tried every combination of those two settings, and crashed every time.

Also, I was running an old version of the Nvidia drivers, and I just updated to the newest drivers, and still crash in the same spot.

Just to give more info, I tried PCSX2 with GSdx 1.13, and it still crashed, but it got a few frames farther. Instead of crashing on the map loading screen, it crashed on one of the first frames of actual gameplay.
