GPL Patch- GPL reinstall

When the patch comes out, will we have to reinstall GPL? What will we
have to do to install the patch? Do I have to back up all my customized
files? Will I have to reinstall all of my customized GPL things, like
cars,programs,scenery, billboards, all those great things that people
have made to customize GPL?

Does anybody know?  Randy do you know? Could you clue me/us in?

Thanks,

"ZZ"

Do a search before you ask stuff.  Randy posted the complete list of
files to be updated on this forum.  You should be able to deduce what
you need to redo from that. To be safe I would make sure that you have
the original copy of every file that is to be modified before applying
the patch.

Use the following link to see a reprint of the file list.

No.  If you've modified any of the files that I mentioned in a post a
few
days ago (searching dejanews for "rec.autos.simulators multi.lyt"
should
find it), you'll need to copy only those specific files off the GPL CD
into
the proper directory on your hard drive before installing the patch.
(At
least for the US patch, I don't yet know how the European patches will
be
packaged).

On Saturday morning my US version of GPL arrived (DM 29 from Wial!).
I need no stinkin' European patches... ;^)

Until European game distributors realize that they will not win against
the warez crowd and at the same time keep pissing off the paying customer
by silly protection schemes (buy new CDRom drive, put in CD to play, etc.),
they will keep loosing even more customers.

DM, not $? And does that include shipping? If so, I'll buy another
copy, too.

It was DM 29,95 plus about DM 12 for S&H. Still a good deal, I say! ;^)

Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change
to take effect. Reboot now?
