I need assistance with a problem with Grand Prix Legends. The game launches and runs fine through WINVROC but the game will not go past the Sierra Sports splash screen when offline. In fact, it locks up the computer and I have to reboot. PIII 700 Win ME Herc. Prophet GeForce 64 mb 5.32 herc drivers 128 mb ram USB modem Any ideas? If it runs through WINVROC it seems to me there is some type of configuration problem not allowing it to start and run when I'm offline. Thanks for helping. J. Kauppila

Just a vague suggestion Jim, but I've recently learned that when joining races over VROC, the VROC program passes the host servers settings to the client (you), and they override the settings in your core.ini. When you launch gpl offline your using your core.ini settings. So, I'm guessing it something in your core.ini, but I haven't a clue what. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

I had this problem also after loading the D3D patch. But as it turned out, it didnt lock up my computer, it just takes forever to load! Just try waiting, mine takes upwards of a full minute before going past the sierra screen. Mike
