I have just had three hours driving in GPL with the 1.2 Patch installed in
the UK version, with no problems and no slowdowns. Well done Sierra! AND no
CD!

What does the patch do?

Can anyone tell me that...

Its the most important part of the patch yet all anyone is concerned with is
the fact that its out:-)

Read the NG post by Randy Casidy. He posted an edited version of the
1.2 readme file just yesterday or a couple days ago.

Where did you get the UK patch? I've installed the German patch, but that CD
check is annoying, so I'd like give the UK version a try. Maybe it works.
Thanx!

Never mind! Found it at theuspits. I'll give it a try tomorrow on my German
version.

It gets rid of the turbo / slomo effects when online, fixes a number of
errors involving non scoring if disconnected and reconnect. The timing is
now accurate again.
You also get a realtime indicator graph of latency , quality and skew (skew
is the time difference between the host and client)
The physics appear to have been slightly tweaked to be closer to what they
were in version 1.

Ian, I never found a real difference in the physics in 1.1 compared to
1.0. With 1.2 I don't notice different physics too.
Can you explain in what way the physics have changed?

In 1.1 the car felt totally different to 1.0, seemed to turn in much easier
at slow speeds and not turn in well at high speeds, with 1.2 the feel is
more like version 1. The brake bias also needed to be changed towards the
front for 1.1, with 1.2 they are close to 1.0. I went from 53% in 1 to 55%
in 1.1 and am now on 54% with 1.2.
The differences are small, but they are there.
