gp2 - saving seasons (newbie question)

by Paul Howar » Wed, 23 Jul 1997 04:00:00

i have just bought gp2 and am having trouble saving seasons.

i start my seasons, complete the race in brazil and save the season.  i
then abandon, but when i restart the game, it does not give me the
option to restart the season.  i am sure that there is a way to complete
an entire season without sitting at my computer for 48 hours playing all
races in a row :)

please help.

btw - when i look in my c:\gp2\gpsaved directory, i see the *.cha season
which i saved.

thank you
paul

>From I understand, if you finish a race and saved it, the next time you load the game you should have load the *.chb file. Loading =

the *.cha will only give you a "summary" of what happenned in season so far. If you look at the size of the files, the race that you=
 have already race and saved will be much smaller than the race that you are goin' to race.
You can restart the season after you have saved them but try the single
race option.

kudos if you can complete a season in 48 hours :)

The saves you make during or after a championship race are saved with
the .chx extension, where x is a letter referring to the current race:
'a' for Interlagos, 'b' for Aida, etc. So any save you make before
staring Aida will have a .cha extension. GP2 does not have an option
specifically named 'Resume Season' or something. To continue a season
go to the 'Load Hotlap or Replay' screen, and load the last .cha file
you saved. If you used the very last 'Save game' option after
completing Interlagos (i.e. after viewing all the race reasult
screens) after you load that save you should see a menu with a 'Next
Race' option.

Hope this helps.
