GPL problem...

by M. Mai » Fri, 10 May 2002 08:18:49

I finally broke down and bought GPL *cough* and i installed it, and i went
to papy.com for the patches and renderer upgrades...etc etc.

But, i cannot seem to upgrade to version 1.2

it says:

The file D:\SIERRA\gpl\gpl.exe is not a valid previous version and could not
be upgraded.     *OK*

I need this patch, cause i also need to install the CPU fix cause when i
enter the track i go to like 300mph when i hit the gas and everything moves
real fast. LOL

is their some patch in between that is not on their site or something?!

Then your uncle probably already ran a patch(GEM, D3D, No-CD, etc) so now the
1.2 patch knows the gpl.exe has been modified...  If that's the only version
you have, you're screwed...

Obvious question: is the 1.2 patch for the right country's version of
GPL? Don't try patching a US version with a French 1.2 patch! Eldred's
reply (above) though seems more likely - you'll just have to get out
the vast wedge of cash needed to buy the thing... actually,
distribution seems to be very patchy in the US, though it's not very
hard in the UK since it came out on the Sold Out budget label. Try eBay
if you're desperate.

I've listed him half a dozen places on the net where he can buy GPL, that
was a long time ago, more then 2-3 months.  He has obviously not have the
willing to do so.  There is constant remarks about that in this newsgroup
each week or so, and google has all the answers needed.

Therefore, considering all the time wasted trying to download it instead of
buying it for 10 bucks, he is not worth racing GPL.  Really Mike, you are
looking like an idiot over that, both here and the other NG.  Sorry to say
that, but it's true.
