GT3 Mod Not Extracting

Is anyone else besides me experiencing problems extracting the GT Version3 mod (F12001) RAR file? I downloaded the one large file from the last mirror site on the list. Didn't seem to be any problem. But when I try extracting it to a New Folder on my Desktop, I get a series of errors. I tried extracting with both WinRAR 2.11 (or was it WinACE 2.11 -- I can't remember), and also ZipMagic. I got the same errors using both. As I write this, I'm re-downloading it from the 2nd Mirror site, which has it listed as an exe file (not RAR). As instructed, I removed what I believe to be all the vestiges from Version 2, but even if I missed some parts, it should at least extract to a folder, right? Any help would be appreciated. Bert

Well, I got it straightened out. That exe file worked perfectly. I took a quick lap around Hockenheim, and everything runs great. However, I still have the same slight problem that I had with Version 2. When loading a reply, I get kicked back out to the desktop. Any thought's about this? My system is an Athlon 1700XP, Win98SE, Voodoo5 videocard. Thanks! Great job, guys! Bert BRH wrote:

I just did it and it worked for me. Unfortunately you may have to download it again... "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

knock the replay down from FULL to HIGH and don't race before viewing a replay. So race. Exit. Reload the mod, then view the replay. Good Day. dave henrie "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Here's my system: PIII-700, 512MB RAM, Win95B (2.1), DirectX 8.0a, GF2MX 32MB @1024x768x32 After downloading, I decompressed the single file using PowerArchiver without any problems - those came when I attempted to install, wow, this thing needed more than 350MB free space on my HD! (free space is something not mentioned among the requirements, BTW). I finally managed to get enough space and install it. Didn't have any problems with previous versions because I had been too lazy to install them (had only about 30MB free before). Then I tried a lap at Hockenheim, with rain, starting at the end of the grid, graphics "world" options all set to their maximum, environment mapping off, specular highlighting off, sky detail off, cockpit detail low, moving steering wheel low, dust, particle and smoke details medium, race groove on, skid detail medium, visible vehicles 60, mirrors on, movies on, message center on, HUD on, broadcast overlays on. I got an initial framerate of 11fps, a maximum of 34 (with no cars visible neither in front nor in the rearview mirrors) and an average of 25-27, I'd say... Loaded the replay and saved it without problem watched it fullscreen for 1/3rd of the race again w/o problems, wow, that camera can get *really* close to the car... Only problem I had, when I first attempted to run, was a "windows registry error", but I believe that was caused by the many aborted installs before I made enough free space, since the game didn't kick me back to windows, and previously (before the sucessful installation with enoguh free space) I had had a "module EXPLORE.EXE performed an illegal operation and will be closed" or somesuch, but without all my Explorer windows closing as usually would happen, so I wouldn't say it relates to the game/mod. Great mod, folks. Of course since it was past 1am I had the loudspeakers turned off, tomorrow I'll try it in all its glory...

I made a slight mistake: I used WinRAR 3.0 to extract the file, not PowerArchiver as I said... When it's 2am, you have those slips... -- __________ ____---____ Marco Antonio Checa Funcke \_________D /-/---_----' Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru _H__/_/ http://machf.tripod.com '-_____|( remove the "no_me_j." and "sons.of." parts before replying
