GPL UPGRADE PATCHES

I've got a UK version of GPL . The gpl.exe is on 1.0.0.0 When I try and run the 1.1 or 1.2 patches, it fails to work, stating that I have an incorrect version. I've got a Ferrari FF wheel and want to get force feedback running IJ

Ian, go here: http://www.papy.com/downloads/ You'll notice there are six different versions of the 1.2 upgrade patch, make sure your using the correct one. Don't install 1.1, go directly to 1.2 Also, if your using a Nvidia chip based video card be sure to get the D3D patch as well. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

I think some people have had problems patching if they have used other third party patches (eg drvier names patches etc) which change the GPL.exe. The solution is to copy the original GPL.exe across from the CD before patching with the 1.2 patch. You will of course then have to re-patch with the third party patches. How many times can I get the word 'patch' into a post?! :-) Hope this helps, Neil Ian Jarvis wrote:

Take a look at my GPL Tech website! www.callnet0800.co.uk/myhome/nreverett/gplindex.htm

Don't forget, once you have the game patched, you also need to modify your CORE.INI file in order to enable FF. Open the file and about 2/3 of the way down, you'll find the [Joy] section. Change the Allow FF value to 1 (from 0) to enable FF. Ian Jarvis wrote:

My current setup seems to work pretty well Damping: 0.000000 Latency 0.025000 Force: 200.000000 (you can go stronger, ie. 100 but I find it too much work) Also remove spring and damping to zero on your windows controller screen and be sure to put it in "3-axis mode", just check the box in the calibration screen (windows). And lastly, dont use any centering force, GPL does all the necessary forces. Marko. Ian Jarvis <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8mkkiv$6b$[email hidden]... > I've got a UK version of GPL .

Go to www.papy.com and download the UK patch. If you've got the Sierra Originals version, the you will also have to go to www.gamecopyworld.com and get the no CD patch for 1.2 UK version...

From my earlier post (in the same thread) "Go to www.papy.com and download the UK patch. If you've got the Sierra Originals version, the you will also have to go to www.gamecopyworld.com and get the no CD patch for 1.2 UK version..." You've got the Sierra Originals version - and they removed the copy protection from it... there is nothing on the CD to tell the patch (which does still have the copy protection) that it is a legit copy. So go and get that No CD patch and have fun... G

I got caught out by his too (being another GPL newby I'd never bothered to read the GPL topics until Monday when I bought the "originals" version. Looks like there might be a "flood" of similar questions over the next few weeks as others take advantage of the cheapo. FAQ anyone??

My core.ini reads as follows :- [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 0 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 1 ; [ Int Profile Values ] value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0 value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0 value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0 value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0 value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0 value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0 value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0 [ Direct3D7 ] D3DDevice = 0 TossHighestMip = 0 TrilinearFiltering = 1 DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1 DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1 DirectMirrorRendering = 1 DisableZBuffer = 0 Where's the 'Joy' in that Gollum <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Don't forget, once you have the game patched, you also need to modify your > CORE.INI file in order to enable FF.
