New GPL Patch DISCO FIX !!!

by Doug Hoo » Thu, 01 Jun 2000 04:00:00

Found this at 3dfiles.com a few mins ago. Thought it might be of some
interest.

"The GPL disconnect fix (32 Kb) is an unsupported beta patch that should
significantly reduce disconnects when running multiplayer GPL races. To use
the patch:

1) Download the gpldiscofix.exe program (~32Kbytes) and save it in your GPL
folder (for example, c:\sierra\gpl). This program can be used to patch all
versions of GPL 1.2.0.1.
2) Open a Windows Explorer and navigate to your GPL folder.
3) Make sure your gpl.exe program is writable (right click on in the GPL
program icon in your GPL folder, select "Properties", and make sure the
"Read-only" box is _not_ checked).
4) Drag your GPL program (gpl.exe) onto the gpldiscofix program's icon. Make
sure you drag the GPL program itself, and not a shortcut to the GPL program
(a shortcut generally has a crooked arrow in the lower left).
That's it! You will notice that gpldiscofix has created a backup copy of
your GPL program (gpl.exe_save). "

Not sure these links will work right since I just cut and pasted from the
site . If they do not work just go to 3dfiles.com.
