RePost GPL and VROC- XP Problem

by Timmy Ferrel » Wed, 07 Jan 2004 01:13:47

Hi all,
A couple of days ago I posted to this group a question about GPL and VROC.
My original problem was that after joining a race, the game would kick me
back to VROC just after the initial game screen. Several people posted that
the problem is an XP compatibility problem. One kind soul even posted a
patch that was developed that fixed the problem.
    Could someone please repost that patch? It worked fine but I had to go
to my backup GPL last night (unrelated problem) and I foolishly forgot to
backup GPL after I fixed the VROC problem.
    I can't remember who posted the patch and my original post is no longer
on my server.
Thanks again for the trouble,
Timmy

I just got the solution from the alien Andreas Wilke!
Just unzip this file to your gpl\layout folder

Worked for me - finally I can race online again :D
