I had the same problem. I found the answer on Allison Hine's web site. When you first install the game the core.ini file is actually saved as core.ini.sample. You must rename the file from core.ini.sample to core.ini. Hope that helps you out. It worked for me. Good Luck, Paul.

I have installed the right patch (1.21) for GPL and tried every combination of numbers in the INI. file I could find on the NG and get absolutely NO force feedback what so ever in GPL. I'm using a LWFF and FF works fine in all other games I've tried. Tried a total reinstall but nothing works. Anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong. At this moment my file looks like this, but I have tried different comb.of settings but nothing. Thanks to anyone who can help.

A common problem is that the core.ini file is not correctly named. This happens particularly if you have file extensions hidden (something which I hate incidentally). Anyway, what you should do is go to your GPL directory and right click on the file core.ini. Select Properties from the popup menu and look at the property MS-DOS name. This should be CORE.INI. Anything else will mean that the file will be ignored. The filename could be something like COREIN~1.SAM for example. If the filename is not CORE.INI, open a DOS Prompt and change to the GPL directory. Then type in the command: REN XXX.YYY CORE.INI where XXX.YYY is the MS-DOS name given from the Properties of the file. When renamed the file should have an icon which looks like a notepad with a cog in the top right hand corner. Hope this helps. Cheers Phil -- http://www.youpies.co.uk
