A heard a rumor on the GPL Spy Boy chat board that said a second GPL
patch is in the works to correct some "timing problems". Anyone know
anything about this?

The Eagle women has reported on it so it is probably more then just a rumor.

Rumor mill: a second GP patch?

There is a bug in the GPL 1.1.0.3 patch that can cause the game to drop
out of real-time in some not-entirely-uncommon situations.  This is
clearly unintended, is unacceptable, and must be fixed.  We're working
on it, and intend to replace the patch as soon as is practicable.

In the statusline of a race she was hosting (version 1.104).

Alison seems to host often with this 1.1.0.4 version.
I was able to join a F2-spec race at Silverstone recently, and I
watched the frame counter more carefully than the track: stable 36
fps, no slo-mo or fast forward effects like with other hosts. Some
discos, though.

It's in an article in the news section. Can't remember the headlline
though, it doesn't mention the patch in the headline.

Thanks for the confirmation Randy - glad to see you are commited to
getting this sim perfect! I wish more developers had your attitude.

that's great news. BTW, I saw a certain A. Hine on VROC today whose comment
included  "1.1.0.4".....

wonder what that means :)

you guys must work fast.

1.1.0.3 is better than the original, even if it has a few "glitches".  I'm
able to connect better now than before most of the time, although I do
experience a few "slow mo's" once in a while.

I think you've designed a "Ferrari" that needs a few adjustments.

Good work by you and your team

Joe,

     It's true. Alison Hine is testing it nightly on VROC. You can tell
since her version of gpl is shown as 1.104. From what I've read,it has
solved many of the problems that the 1st patch caused.

take a look at Alison's notes next time her server is up and running. Does
1.1.05 rin any bells with you?
