  3. Struggling with the reconfiguring the controls. Everything works and looks amazing but in the settings launcher if I try to click the “configure” button in crashes. Any help?

    • Hey, not sure if this is helpful but I was having a similar issue, which I “fixed” by clicking configure controls and then waiting for a really long time without clicking anything. It seems like it just takes a very long time for the configuration window to load

  4. When I run the launcher it says: “Hot Wheels (TM) World Race (TM) launcher REGISTRY KEY ERROR”. It comes up every time (even when I ran it after I ran the ‘run this first’ application).

    • Hi can you try to re but this time, don’t change the controls but just play with the default controls, and see if they stay stable?. If that doesn’t work then you’ll have to play the PS2 version

      • thats more a reason why i chance the controles since each time i launch the game the default controls chance and keep changing with each new lauch for exemple: if W is for accelerate and K is for left en L for right the next time i lauch you can have that i is for accelerate and A for left and D for right and thats something new since i have the disc version off it and that problem i never have see.
