When I click on the blue dot to edit a segment for track, nothing shows up, it just highlights the track segment. I tried reinstalling NL but the same thing heppened, i tried to click the vertex of the track to edit it, and nothing happened, just highlighted the segment of track [:(]. The same thing happens when I place a node, I can't highlight the node to move it or anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

click the actual track segment to edit the track segment, or you trying to get the control points and edit that?

Did you perhaps recently update your video card drivers? The last version of ATI's drivers caused the same problem for me (I had to run the editor in software mode to be able to pick vertices) but their most recent driver update corrected the problem (for me, at least) and I can now run the accelerated editor again (which is good, since trying to edit wooden supports in the software mode is slightly cumbersome[xx(]). If you have an ATI card, I would guess this is the problem. Hope this helps!

I just got a new computer with an ATI Radeon 9600 pro, so that MUST be the problem. Do you know how I can update my drivers? Thanks!

goliath100, I KNOW the other mode doesn't work. But the other editor is better and its a problem with my video card drivers because they need to be updated.

Just go here:

http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html

then pick your OS. Then continue making your choices, the website will guide you through the process. Make sure to download the correct driver for your Operating System. I think all the Radeon family uses the same driver set, so you don't have to worry about matching drivers with your particular model.
Incidentally, I read somewhere online that this problem is caused by the video card drivers not being 100 percent Open-GL compliant. Evidently, No Limits does not recognize some ATI drivers as being 100 percent Open-GL compliant, even though you might not have any problems with any other games. Weird.

Yeah, especially woodies when you can barely move around [:(!]

I knew when I got the card that ATIs didn't work well with OpenGL but it was an awesome card and when I installed it I was shocked because of the 100 fps I got on NL coasters [:D]

Yeah, it's a nice feeling to max out that frame rate ain't it? [:D]NL has a frame rate cap of 100FPS.

ATI sucks. Their drivers suck and they have many compatibility issues with many programs

Nvidia is better. Period.

Wow, I don't understand why some people are so dead set in their opinions of certain things. I have had many video cards, all of them NVidia models until my current Radeon 9800 Pro. I loved the heck out of the Nvidias and I love the heck out of my Radeon. I just always want the best card on the market when I upgrade, and the last time I upgraded, the best card was the 9800 Pro. Just like Coke/Pepsi, Ford/Chevy, PC/Mac, etc., just because you like one doesn't mean the others are crap.
