GPL version incompatible VROC problem

by Doug Hoo » Mon, 14 Feb 2000 04:00:00

I just installed VROC last night(the newest version) and also the fix for
new version. Did a fresh GPL install and the 1.2 patch. When I try to
connect to VROC all the races that I try to connect to say my version of GPL
is incompatible. I KNOW that I have 1.2 installed. Is this a core.ini
problem? Any suggestions? Also if I try to just run GPL I get the menu
flickering and mouse pointer trails problem . I even tried putting the old
glide 2.53 dll in the Gpl directory . Can anyone give me some suggestions.
Thanks to those of you who tried to help me at VROC last night.

GPL version incompatible VROC problem

I had this problem when I first installed WinVroc, and the problem was that
I didn't have WinVroc correctly configured to find GPL.  I went back and
pointed WinVroc to GPL and it worked fine.  Vroc/Options... then browse to
GPL.exe.  Hope that works.

I had this problem.  It was the backup file from the 1.2 install.  Copy
it to another loacation, then delete it.

This is from memory so might not be exact.  As I remember it the 1.2
installer gave the option of creating a backup of gpl files.  I said
yes and it created a folder in the gpl directory named backup.  The
folder included the gpl exe 1.0 and I think winvroc sees it and gives
you the incorrect version message.
