I downloaded the US 1.2 patch for GPL -- thinking this was the same country
version I had downloaded for patch 1.1 all those months ago -- and on
attempted installation a screen flashed up telling me it could not upgrade
the gpl.exe file for this version.  Which one should I be using for
Australia?

If you have the 'CD in the drive' copy protection it's most likely the
UK version.

The US version is the one you need for the version released in Australia.

Steve, it completely depends upon which version of the original game you
own. Some Aussie retailers received stocks from the USA, others from
Britain.

Depends on the source of his original package, Ian.
Some outlets here received stock from Britain.

You might find it's got nothing to do with what version it is.
I had the unofficial 1.1 patch and had to replace it with the gpl.exe off
the CD and then run the 1.2 patch.
And then I installed Dx7a and now the damn game won`t start ,but thats
another story.

Cheers

Hi Steve, I'm in Melbourne too.

I had the same problem, but the US patch is the correct one.

What I discovered was that after I had patched the game with GPL Season
to change names etc., I couldn't apply the 1.2 patch. I copied over
gpl.exe using the original from the cd, then ran the US 1.2 patch.
Worked like a charm.

The only snag is you'll have to redo any customisation you may have
done.

Gidday, Glenn

Yep, I finally figured it out.  The UK patch I tried was a disaster, it told
me to put the GPL CD-ROM in the drive -- even when it's already there.
Deleting gpl.exe 1.1, replacing with the original, and running the
executable US patch 1.2 is the way to go.  So why couldn't they have said
that on the web site...?

Steve
