ICR2 patch help!!!!!!!!!!

by Richard Mannin » Wed, 28 Aug 1996 04:00:00

I have downloaded the correct pact for my icr2 game.  I run the icr100.exe2
(spelling might be wrong?) I saw all these files expanding but I am not
sure if the patch was executed or not.  The only patch file I see in my
icr2 directory says it was last modified in 1993. Does the patch install
automatically when I expanded that .exe file from above? Yes my game was a
complete install. Yes I have the correct patch. Will someone post specific
instructions or email them to me.  Thanks in advance

Richard:

Following is a copy of the answer to the same question that I posed to
Michael E. Carver several weeks ago.  It worked flawlessly for me, and
should work for you.  Please e-mail me if you have any furthur
questions, and I'll try to help...

Hope this helps...

There's a README.TXT file (or something like that) with instructions on
exactly what you need to do. If you want to save your current setups, there
a batch file named SAVEALL that will save them off. Then you run the
PATCHICR batch file to install the patch. Then run the RESTALL batch file
to restore your setups. The names of the files are from memory and may only
be close approximations.

I was messing around with ICR2 last night. First time I've spent more than
5 mins at it since the patch came out. The car handling is significantly
improved with the patch. I was able to power slide the car around some of
the turns at Laguna Seca which I could never do before. Feels like you can
catch the car just before it breaks completely loose a lot more easily now.
I was also able to use opposite lock to recover from oversteer which never
worked for me in the past. I got trounced once here in R.A.S for claiming
that it didn't behave properly in 1.0.0, so I feel vindicated now. <g>
